<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

3. All the following steps need to be followed when naming alkanes, except A. locating the longest carbon chain. B. using prefix
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

D. beginning numbering at the end farther from the first branch.

Explanation:

In naming alkanes, the longest continuous chain in the compound is first considered and this gives the name of the compound intended. The name of the substituent on the compound are also arranged in alphabetical order when naming the compound.

The carbon atoms are numbered in the parent chain or ring to indicate where branching or substitution takes place. The direction of numbering is chosen such that the lowest numbers possible is given to the branches or substituents. If we begin the numbering at the end farther from the first branch, we won't give the lowest numbers possible to the branches.

If a liquid has a pH of 7 it is what?
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Neutral

Explanation:

A pH of 7 is neutral. A pH less than 7 is acidic. A pH greater than 7 is basic. The pH scale is logarithmic and as a result, each whole pH value below 7 is ten times more acidic than the next higher value.

Calculate the sublimation pressure of the solid at the melting point of 400.00 K assuming that the enthalpy of sublimation is no
nasty-shy [4]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Tonksite is a solid at 300.00K.  At 300.00 K its enthalpy of sublimation is 66.00 kJ/mol. The sublimation pressure at 300.00 K is 5.00 × 10⁻⁴ atm

Calculate the sublimation pressure of the solid at the melting point of 400.00 K assuming that the enthalpy of sublimation is not a function of temperature.

Answer: the sublimation pressure of the solid at the melting point is  0.3727 atm

Explanation:

Given that;

T1 = 300 K

T2 = 400 K

H_sub = 66 kJ/mol = 66000 J/mol

P1 = 5.00 × 10⁻⁴ atm

p2 = ?

now using the expression

log( p2 / 5.00 × 10⁻⁴ ) = (H_sub / R ×  2.303 ) (( T2 - T1) / T1T2)

now we substitute of given values into the expression

log(p2/p1) = (66000 / 8.314 ×  2.303 ) (( 400 - 300) / 300 × 400 )

p2 = 0.3727 atm

therefore the sublimation pressure of the solid at the melting point is  0.3727 atm
