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.

1) If calcium were to combine with the compound barium nitrate, which member of the barium nitrate would calcium replace?
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Calcium would displace barium.

Explanation:

Ba(NO₃)₂ + Ca -->  Ca(NO₃)₂ + Ba

There are two types of compounds: molecular/covalent and ionic.

Molecular/covalent compounds are non-metal + non-metal.

Ionic compounds are metal + non-metal.

Looking at the periodic table, barium is a metal. Calcium is also a metal.

Checking a polyatomic ions chart would tell you NO₃⁻ is a non-metal because it has a negative charge.

Since there is no metal + metal compound, the calcium metal would displace barium. The compound remains ionic.

If 3 moles of a compound use 12 J of energy in a reaction, what is the Hreaction in kJ/mol
igomit [66]

Answer:

\Delta _RH=4x10^{-3}\frac{kJ}{mol}

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the molar enthalpy of reaction is obtained by dividing the involved energy by the reacting moles:

\Delta _RH=\frac{12J}{3mol} =4\frac{J}{mol}

Thus, it is important to notice that the compound "uses" the energy, it means that it absorbs the energy, for that reason the sign is positive. Moreover, computing the result in kJ/mol we finally obtain:

\Delta _RH=4\frac{J}{mol}*\frac{1kJ}{1000J} =4x10^{-3}\frac{kJ}{mol}

Best regards.

What is the charge on an ion that has an atomic number of 16 and contains 14e-?
lora16 [44]
The answer would be 2+ since the atomic number represents how many protons are in the element. In this case, there are 16 protons, but only 14 electrons, which means there are an additional 2 protons, hence the 2+ charge on the ion.
