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.

What are the energy in a plant?
Vadim26 [7]
In plants, these energy factories are called chloroplasts. They collect energy from the sun and use carbon dioxide and water in the process called photosynthesis to produce sugars. Animals can make use of the sugars provided by the plants in their own cellular energy factories, the mitochondria.

Answer:

Check for a change in total mass during the reaction. During the change to a chemical reaction, the mass of the products remain equal, which results in no change of the mass. The mass will change during nuclear reactions because of the large release of energy; that results in the difference of the accumulation. ^_^
