Occupational Safety and Health Administration has set the limit on the maximum percentage of carbon dioxide (CO2) in air a worke

r can breathe at 0.500% by mole. If dry ice (solid CO2) is sublimating (becoming a gas) in a room at a rate of 0.880 mol/min, what is the minimum rate that fresh air has to be supplied to the room so that the concentration of CO2 in the room doesn't exceed 0.500% by mole? Assume the room is well mixed, and the volume of the solid dry ice does not change

Answer:

The minimum rate of fresh air in the room is 176 moles/min

Explanation:

High exposure of CO₂ has health effects as headaches, increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, coma, asphyxia, convulsions, etc.

0,500 mole% of CO₂ in air means 0,500 moles of CO₂ per 100 moles of air

As the rate of sublimation of CO₂ is 0,880, the minimum rate of fresh air in the room must be:

\frac{0,500 moles CO_{2}}{100 moles Air} = \frac{0,880 moles CO_{2}/min}{X}

X = <em>176 moles of Air/min</em>

I hope it helps!

A solution is prepared by mixing 25.0 g H2O and 25.0 g C2H5OH. Determine the mole fractions of each substance.
Veronika [31]

Answer:

Mole fraction H₂O → 0.72

Mole fraction C₂H₅OH → 0.28

Explanation:

By the mass of the two elements in the solution, we determine the moles of each:

25 g . 1 mol/ 18g = 1.39 moles of water (solute)

25 g . 1 mol / 46 g = 0.543 moles of ethanol (solvent)

Mole fraction solute = Moles of solute / Total moles

Mole fraction solvent = Moles of solvent / Total moles

Total moles = Moles of solute + Moles of solvent

1.39 moles of solute + 0.543 moles of solvent = 1.933 moles → Total moles

Mole fraction H₂O = 1.39 / 1.933 → 0.72

Mole fraction C₂H₅OH= 0.543 / 1.933 → 0.28

Remember that sum of mole fractions = 1
