Answer:

80.11 torr

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the masses are equal, we could assume 1 gram for each gas, which result in the following moles:

n_{CH_4}=\frac{1g}{16.0g/mol}=0.0625molCH_4 \\n_{Ar}=\frac{1g}{40.0g/mol}=0.025molAr

Thus, the molar fractions:

x_{CH_4}=\frac{0.0625}{0.0625+0.025}=0.714\\x_{Ar}=1- x_{CH_4}=1-0.714=0.286

Thus, the total pressure is:

p=p_{CH_4}+p_{Ar}\\p=x_{CH_4}p+x_{Ar}p\\p=200torr+0.286p\\p=\frac{200torr}{1-0.286}\\ p=280.11torr

Hence the pressure of methane:

p_{CH_4}=280.11torr-200torr=80.11torr

Best regards.

Two isotopes of hydrogen fuse to form a neutron plus the larger element,A) beryllium.B) carbon.C) deuterium.D) helium.
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:  D) helium.

Explanation:

Nuclear fission is a process which involves the conversion of a heavier nuclei into two or more small and stable nuclei along with the release of energy.

_{92}^{235}\textrm{U}+_0^1\textrm{n}\rightarrow _{56}^{143}Ba+_{36}^{90}Kr+3_0^1\textrm{n}

Nuclear fusion is a process which involves the conversion of two small nuclei to form a heavy nuclei along with release of energy.

Example: _1^2\textrm{H}+_1^3\textrm{H}\rightarrow _2^4\textrm{He}+_0^1\textrm{n}+\text{energy}

Thus when deuterium and tritium , the two isotopes of hydrogen are fused, a heavier nuclei helium is being formed from two smaller nuclei releasing a neutron.

The rate constant for the second-order reaction: 2NOBr(g) → 2NO(g) + Br2(g) is 0.80/(M · s) at 10°C. Starting with a concentrati
a_sh-v [17]

Answer : The concentration of NOBr after 95 s is, 0.013 M

Explanation :

The integrated rate law equation for second order reaction follows:

k=\frac{1}{t}\left (\frac{1}{[A]}-\frac{1}{[A]_o}\right)

where,

k = rate constant = 0.80M^{-1}s^{-1}

t = time taken  = 95 s

[A] = concentration of substance after time 't' = ?

[A]_o = Initial concentration = 0.86 M

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get:

0.80=\frac{1}{95}\left (\frac{1}{[A]}-\frac{1}{(0.86)}\right)

[A] = 0.013 M

Hence, the concentration of NOBr after 95 s is, 0.013 M

Which type of reactions form salts?
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Neutralization reactions are the reactions type which form salts.

Explanation:

Salts are formed by ionic bonds when the oxidation states of anions and cations are equal and have opposite signs. So one should be highly electronegative in nature and another should be highly electropositive in nature. So the electropositive element will be ready to give electrons and the electronegative element will be ready to accept all the electrons given by the electropositive element. As a whole the compound will be neutrally charged by adding of equal number of positively charged and negatively charged ions.

The reduction or addition of electrons will be occurring in cations and the oxidation or removal of electrons will be occurring in anions.

So the salt formation is based on neutralization reactions.
