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.

Use the pop-up menus to label the following statements as either True of False.
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

1 True

2. True

3. True

4. True

5. False

Explanation:

1. Hypochlorous acid (HOCl)  is a weak acid that forms when chlorine dissolves in water, and is partially dissociated, forming hypochlorite. HOCl is considered a strong oxidizing agent responsible for the killing action of germs in chlorine solutions.

2. Acetic acid is also known as ethanoic acid. It has a distinctive sour taste and pungent smell, and is generally considered a weak acid. in a concentrated form, acetic acid can be corrosive.

3/4 . Methylene chloride is an organochloride compound with the formula CH2Cl2. It is  a colorless, volatile liquid with a moderately sweet aroma is widely used as a solvent. It is normally stable, non-flammable and non-explosive when mixed with air at temperatures below 100 °C, but its vapor is flammable only when present in relatively high concentrations of about 14% to 22% in air. Research shows that it is very much possibly carcinogenic, and it has been linked to cancer of the lungs, liver, pancreas, breast cancer and salivary gland cancer in laboratory animals.

5. Laboratory and medical waste are not to be disposed in the trash with regular wastes, as they are potentially toxic. Special disposal methods and agencies exists to take away such wastes.

Green light has a wavelength of 550nm. What is the frequency of a photon of green light?
Vikki [24]

Answer:- Frequency is 5.4*10^1^4Hz .

Solution:- frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other and the equation used is:

\nu =\frac{c}{\lambda }

where, \nu is frequency, c is speed of light and \lambda is the wavelength.

Speed of light is 3.0*10^8m/s .

We need to convert the wavelength from nm to m.

( 1nm=10^-^9m )

550nm(\frac{10^-^9m}{1nm})

= 5.5*10^-^7m

Now, let's plug in the values in the equation to calculate the frequency:

\nu =\frac{3.0*10^8m.s^-^1}{5.5*10^-^7m}

= 5.4*10^1^4s^-^1 or 5.4*10^1^4Hz

since, 1s^-^1=1Hz

So, the frequency of the green light photon is 5.4*10^1^4Hz .
