A mixture contains 25 g of cyclohexane (C6H12) and 44 g of 2-methylpentane (C6H14). The mixture of liquids is at 35 oC . At this

temperature, the vapor pressure of pure cyclohexane is 150 torr, and that of pure 2-methylpentane is 313 torr. Assume this is an ideal solution. What is the mole fraction of cyclohexane in the liquid phase?

Answer:

The mol fraction of cyclohexane in the liquid phase is 0.368

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of cyclohexane = 25.0 grams

Mass of 2-methylpentane = 44.0 grams

Temperature = 35.0 °C

The pressure of cyclohexane = 150 torr

The pressure of 2-methylpentane = 313 torr

The pressure we only need for the mole fraction in gas phase.

Step 2: Calculate moles of cyclohexane

Moles cyclohexane = mass cyclohexane / molar mass

Moles cyclohexane = 25.0 g / 84 g/mol = 0.298 mol of cyclohexane

Step 3: Calculate moles of 2-methylpentane

Moles = 44.0 grams / 86 g/mol = 0.512 mol of 2-methylpentane

Step 4: Calculate mole fraction of cyclohexane in the liquid phase

Mole fraction of C6H12:

0.298 / (0.298 + 0.512) = 0.368

The mol fraction of cyclohexane in the liquid phase is 0.368

How does the density of a gas depend on the molar mass of the gas?
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

The density of the ideal gas is directly proportional to its molar mass.

Explanation:

Density is a scalar quantity that is denoted by the symbol ρ (rho). It is defined as the ratio of the mass (m) of the given sample and the total volume (V) of the sample.

\rho = \frac{m}{V}                          ......equation (1)

According to the ideal gas law for ideal gas:

PV = nRT                                       ......equation (2)

Here, V is the volume of gas, P is the pressure of gas, T is the absolute temperature, R is Gas constant and n is the number of moles of gas

As we know,

The number of moles: n = \frac{m}{M}

where m is the given mass of gas and M is the molar mass of the gas

So equation (2) can be written as:

PV = \frac{m}{M}RT

⇒ PM= \frac{m}{V} RT

⇒ \frac{PM}{RT}= \frac{m}{V}             ......equation (3)

Now from equation (1) and (3), we get

\frac{PM}{RT}= \frac{m}{V} = \rho  

⇒ Density of an ideal gas: \rho = \frac{PM}{RT}  

⇒ <em>Density of an ideal gas: ρ ∝ molar mass of gas: M</em>

<u>Therefore, the density of the ideal gas is directly proportional to its molar mass. </u>

How do you know what numbers in a chemical formula are significant
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

All the numbers in a chemical formula are significant, It is because the numbers in a chemical formula denote the number of different atoms present in the particular compound.

For example in H2SO4 there are 2 H 1 S and 4 O. This means 1 H2SO4 has 2 hydrogen 1 sulphur and 4 oxygen.
