<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For 1:</u> The partial pressure of helium is 376 mmHg and that of methane gas is 445 mmHg

<u>For 2:</u> The mole fraction of nitrogen gas is 0.392 and that of carbon dioxide gas is 0.608

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u>For 1:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}     .....(1)

  • <u>For helium:</u>

Given mass of helium = 0.723 g

Molar mass of helium = 4 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of helium}=\frac{0.723g}{4g/mol}=0.181mol

  • <u>For methane gas:</u>

Given mass of methane gas = 3.43 g

Molar mass of methane gas = 16 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of methane gas}=\frac{3.43g}{16g/mol}=0.214mol

To calculate the mole fraction , we use the equation:

\chi_A=\frac{n_A}{n_A+n_B}     .......(2)

To calculate the partial pressure of gas, we use the equation given by Raoult's law, which is:

p_{A}=p_T\times \chi_{A}       ......(3)

  • <u>For Helium gas:</u>

We are given:

n_{He}=0.181mol\\n_{CH_4}=0.214mol

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

\chi_{He}=\frac{0.181}{0.181+0.214}=0.458

Calculating the partial pressure by using equation 3, we get:

p_T=821mmHg\\\\\chi_{He}=0.458

Putting values in equation 3, we get:

p_{He}=0.458\times 821mmHg=376mmHg

  • <u>For Methane gas:</u>

We are given:

n_{He}=0.181mol\\n_{CH_4}=0.214mol

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

\chi_{CH_4}=\frac{0.214}{0.181+0.214}=0.542

Calculating the partial pressure by using equation 3, we get:

p_T=821mmHg\\\\\chi_{CH_4}=0.542

Putting values in equation 3, we get:

p_{CH_4}=0.542\times 821mmHg=445mmHg

Hence, the partial pressure of helium is 376 mmHg and that of methane gas is 445 mmHg

  • <u>For 2:</u>

We are given:

Partial pressure of nitrogen gas = 363 mmHg

Partial pressure of carbon dioxide gas = 564 mmHg

Total pressure = (363 + 564) mmHg = 927 mmHg

Calculating the mole fraction of the gases by using equation 3:

<u>For nitrogen gas:</u>

363=\chi_{N_2}\times 927\\\\\chi_{N_2}=\frac{363}{927}=0.392

<u>For carbon dioxide gas:</u>

564=\chi_{CO_2}\times 927\\\\\chi_{CO_2}=\frac{564}{927}=0.608

Hence, the mole fraction of nitrogen gas is 0.392 and that of carbon dioxide gas is 0.608

What happens to electrons in ionic bonds?
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

Ionic bonding is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms. It is a type of chemical bond that generates two oppositely charged ions. In ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, whereas the nonmetal accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged anion.

Hope this helps :)

Ghella [55]

Answer:

972.3 Torr

Explanation:

P2=P1V1/V2

You can check this by knowing that P and V at constant T have an an inverse relationship. Hence, this is correct.
