Answer:

152 kPa = Partial pressure O₂

Explanation:

Data by percent is the molar fraction . 100.

Molar fraction of Helium = 32/ 100 → 0.32

Molar fraction of O₂ = 68/100 → 0.68

Sum of molar fractions in a mixture = 1

0.68 + 0.32 = 1

If we apply the molar fraction, we can determine the partial pressure.

Mole fraction = Partial pressure / Total pressure

0.32 = Partial pressure O₂ / 475kPa →  0.32 . 475 kPa = Partial pressure O₂

152 kPa = Partial pressure O₂

A sample of argon initially has a volume of 5.0 L and the pressure is 2 atm. If the final temperature is 30° C, the final volume
lbvjy [14]
We have that every gas satisfies the fundamental gas equation, PV=nRT where P is the Pressure, V is the volume of the gas, n are the moles of the gas, R is a universal constant and T is the Temperature in Kelvin. We have that PV/T=nR and during our process, the moles of the gas do not change (no argon enters or escapes our sample). See attached.

Given that this reaction is exothermic, what direction will the equilibrium shift when the temperature of the reaction is decrea
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Equilibrium will shift towards the products when temperature is decreased in an exothermic reaction of the  formation of ammonia.

<h3>What is an exothermic reaction?</h3>

An exothermic reaction is a reaction in which heat content of the reactants is greater than the heat content of product.

In an exothermic reaction, heat is given off.

For an exothermic reaction in equilibrium, increasing temperature shifts equilibrium to the towards the left, towards the reactants.

On the other, equilibrium will shift towards the products when temperature is decreased.

Therefore, equilibrium will shift towards the products when temperature is decreased in the reaction of the  formation of ammonia.

What mass of oxygen is needed to combust and produced 6.4 moles of carbon dioxide gas?
N76 [4]
You have already gotten the balanced equation. And the ratio of mol number of reactants and production is the ratio of coefficient. So there is 6.4/8*11=8.8 mol oxygen needed. The mass is 8.8*32=281.6 g.
