Answer:

  • <em>The partial pressure of oxygen in the mixture is</em><u> 320.0 mm Hg</u>

Explanation:

<u>1) Take a base of 100 liters of mixture</u>:

  • N: 60% × 100 liter  = 60 liter

  • O: 40 % × 100 liter = 40 liter.

<u>2) Volume fraction:</u>

At constant pressure and temperature, the volume of a gas is proportional to the number of molecules.

Then, the mole ratio is equal to the volume ratio. Callin n₁ and n₂, the number of moles of nitrogen and oxygen, respectively, and V₁, V₂ the volume of the respective gases you can set the proportion:

  • V₁ / V₂ = n₁ / n₂

That means that the mole ratio is equal to the volume ratio, and the mole fraction is equal to the volume fraction.

Then, since the law of partial pressures of gases states that the partial pressure of each gas is equal to the mole fraction of the gas multiplied by the total pressure, you can draw the conclusion that the partial pressure of each gas is equal to the volume fraction of the gas in the mixture multiplied by the total pressure.

Then calculate the volume fractions:

  • Volume fraction of a gas = volume of the gas / volume of the mixture

  • N: 60 liter / 100 liter = 0.6 liter

  • V: 40 liter / 100 liter = 0.4 liter

<u>3) Partial pressures:</u>

These are the final calculations and results:

  • Partial pressure = volume fraction × total pressure

  • Partial pressure of N = 0.6 × 800.0 mm Hg = 480.0 mm Hg

  • Partial pressure of O = 0.4 × 800.0 mm Hg = 320.0 mm Hg

When a 3.00 g 3.00 g sample of KBr KBr is dissolved in water in a calorimeter that has a total heat capacity of 1.36 kJ ⋅ K − 1
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Molar heat of solution of KBr is 20.0kJ/mol

Explanation:

Molar heat of solution is defined as the energy released (negative) or absorbed (Positive) per mole of solute being dissolved in solvent.

The dissolution of KBr is:

KBr → K⁺ + Br⁻

In the calorimeter, the temperature decreases 0.370K, that means the solution absorbes energy in this process. The energy is:

q = 1.36kJK⁻¹ × 0.370K

q = 0.5032kJ

Moles of KBr in 3.00g are:

3.00g × (1mol / 119g) = 0.0252moles

Thus, molar heat of solution of KBr is:

0.5032kJ / 0.0252moles = <em>20.0kJ/mol</em>

Please help don’t understand this I attached the question
Rasek [7]

Answer:

58.32

Explanation:

The mass number is one mole and for Mg it is 24.306 for O it is 15.999 and for H it is 1.008. because O and H have 2, you multiply them by 2 and add all the numbers and it equals 58.32
