Trimix 10/50 is a gas mixture that contians 10% oxygen and 50% helium, and the rest is nitrogen. If a tank of trimix 10/50 has a

total pressure of 2.07 x 104 kPa, then what is the partial pressure of helium?

Answer : The partial pressure of helium is, 1.815\times 10^4KPa

Solution : Given,

Molar mass of O_2 = 32 g/mole

Molar mass of helium = 4 g/mole

Molar mass of N_2 = 28 g/mole

Total pressure of gas = 2.07\times 10^4KPa

As we are given gases in percent, that means 10 g of oxygen gas, 50 g of helium gas and 40 g of nitrogen gas present in 100 g of mixture.

First we have to calculate the moles of oxygen, helium and nitrogen gas.

\text{Moles of }O_2=\frac{\text{Mass of }O_2}{\text{Molar mass of }O_2}=\frac{10g}{32g/mole}=0.3125moles

\text{Moles of }He=\frac{\text{Mass of }He}{\text{Molar mass of }He}=\frac{50g}{4g/mole}=12.5moles

\text{Moles of }N_2=\frac{\text{Mass of }N_2}{\text{Molar mass of }N_2}=\frac{40g}{28g/mole}=1.428moles

Now we have to calculate the total number of moles of gas mixture.

\text{Total number of moles of gas}=\text{Moles of oxygen gas}+\text{Mole of helium gas}+\text{Moles of nitrogen gas}

\text{Total number of moles of gas}=0.3125+12.5+1.428=14.24moles

Now we have to calculate the moles fraction of helium gas.

\text{Mole fraction of He gas}=\frac{\text{Moles of He gas}}{\text{Total number of moles of gas}}=\frac{12.5}{14.25}=0.877

Now we have to calculate the partial pressure of helium.

p_{He}=X_{He}\times P_T

where,

p_{He} = partial pressure of helium

P_T = total pressure

X_{He} = mole fraction of helium

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

p_{He}=(0.877)\times (2.07\times 10^4KPa)=1.815\times 10^4KPa

Therefore, the partial pressure of helium is, 1.815\times 10^4KPa

Which of the following elements has characteristics of some metals and also of
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

The metalloids are a unique group of elements that share properties of both metals and nonmetals. They're also called the semimetals because of the shared properties of these elements along the dividing line between metals and nonmetals.

The enthalpy change for converting 1.00 mol of ice at -25.0 °c to water at 70.0 °c is __________ kj. the specific heats of ice
Margarita [4]
Answer is: 6,16 kJ.
1) changing  temperature of ice from -25°C to 0°C.
Q₁ = m·C·ΔT
Q₁ = 18 g · 2 J/g·°C · 25°C 
Q₁ = 900 J.
m(H₂O) = 1mol · 18 g/mol = 18 g.
C - <span>specific heat of ice.
</span>2) changing temperature of water from 0°C to 70°C.
Q₁ = m·C·ΔT
Q₁ = 18 g · 4,18 J/g·°C · 70°C 
Q₁ = 5266,8 J.
C - specific heat of water.
Q = Q₁ + Q₂ = 900 J + 5266,8 J
Q = 6166,8 J = 6,16 kJ.

Which periodic table trend is represented by the blue arrows?
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Periodic trends are specific patterns that are present in the periodic table that illustrate different aspects of a certain element, including its size and its electronic properties. Major periodic trends include: electronegativity, ionization energy, electron affinity, atomic radius, melting point, and metallic character. Periodic trends, arising from the arrangement of the periodic table, provide chemists with an invaluable tool to quickly predict an element's properties. These trends exist because of the similar atomic structure of the elements within their respective group families or periods, and because of the periodic nature of the elements.
