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.

Lead has a density of 11.29 g/mL. If you had 186 g of lead, what would its volume be?
Varvara68 [4.7K]
I think you just do 11.29 multiplied by 186 since to find density you divide mass by volume. So 186 divided by x is 11.29. So in conclusion the volume would be 2,099.94mL

Compare wave A with wave B correctly in relation to amplitude.
Anni [7]
<span>Wave A will have a higher pitch than wave B.. This is not true becasue b has the higher PITCH becasue it's closer together.

Wave B will have a lower pitch than wave A... This basically A but worded differently. 

Wave A will have a louder sound than wave B... This is CORRECT becasue it's louder the waver are bigger, so it's louder. But it has a lower pitch, 2 different things. 

Wave B will have a louder sound than wave A. False..</span><span />
