Sublimation takes place when an element or compound changes directly from a solid into a gas without passing through the liquid state....

this is what i found i do not know much about dry ice but i hope this helps you!!!

Dry ice, or solid carbon dioxide, sublimates under our normal sea level temperature and pressure, (due to some rather complicated triple point pressure curves and temperature curves and stuff) so as it sublimates, it loses mass.

At a certain temperature the vapor pressure of pure thiophene is measured to be . Suppose a solution is prepared by mixing of th
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

0.35 atm

Explanation:

It seems the question is incomplete. But an internet search shows me these values for the question:

" At a certain temperature the vapor pressure of pure thiophene (C₄H₄S) is measured to be 0.60 atm. Suppose a solution is prepared by mixing 137. g of thiophene and 111. g of heptane (C₇H₁₆). Calculate the partial pressure of thiophene vapor above this solution. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. Note for advanced students: you may assume the solution is ideal."

Keep in mind that if the values in your question are different, your answer will be different too. <em>However the methodology will remain the same.</em>

First we <u>calculate the moles of thiophene and heptane</u>, using their molar mass:

  • 137 g thiophene ÷ 84.14 g/mol = 1.63 moles thiophene
  • 111 g heptane ÷ 100 g/mol = 1.11 moles heptane

Total number of moles = 1.63 + 1.11 = 2.74 moles

The<u> mole fraction of thiophene</u> is:

  • 1.63 / 2.74 = 0.59

Finally, the <u>partial pressure of thiophene vapor is</u>:

Partial pressure = Mole Fraction * Vapor pressure of Pure Thiophene

  • Partial Pressure = 0.59 * 0.60 atm
  • Pp = 0.35 atm

If a frog initially contained 2 grams of carbon-14 and the half-life of carbon-14 is 5,730 years, how much carbon-14 remains in
andreyandreev [35.5K]
Half life is the time taken for a radioactive isotope to decay by half its original mass. In this case the half life of carbon-14 is 5.730 years. 
Using the formula;
New mass = original mass × (1/2)^n; where n is the number of half lives (in this case n=1 ) 
New mass = 2 g × (1/2)^1     
                  = 1 g
Therefore; the mass of carbon-14 that remains will be 1 g
