Explanation:

atom changes from a ground state to an excited state by taking on energy from its surroundings in a process called absorption. The electron absorbs the energy and jumps to a higher energy level. In the reverse process, emission, the electron returns to the ground state by releasing the extra energy it absorbed

In a mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen gases, the mole fraction of nitrogen is 0.333. If the partial pressure of hydrogen in the

notka56 [123]

Answer:

$P_T=112.4torr$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since these problems about gas mixtures are based off Dalton's law in terms of mole fraction, partial pressure and total pressure, we can write the following for hydrogen, we are given its partial pressure:

$P_{H_2}=x_{H_2}*P_T$

And can be solved for the total pressure as follows:

$P_T=\frac{P_{H_2}}{x_{H_2}}$

However, we first calculate the mole fraction of hydrogen by subtracting that of nitrogen to 1 due to:

$x_{H_2}+x_{N_2}=1\\\\x_{H_2}=1-0.333=0.667$

Then, we can plug in to obtain the total pressure:

$P_T=\frac{75.0torr}{0.667}\\\\P_T=112.4torr$

Regards!

What is the molality of a solution that contains 1.34 moles of NaCl in 2.47 kg of solvent

dsp73

The molality is 0.54 M when 1.34 moles of NaCl is present in 2.47 kg of solvent.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Molality is the measure of how much of amount of solute is dissolved in the solvent. So it is calculated as the ratio of moles of solute to the grams of solvent.

$\text {Molality}=\frac{\text {Moles of solute}}{\text {Mass of solvent}}$

As in this case, the solute is NaCl and solvent is unknown. So the moles of solute is given as 1.34 moles and the mass of solvent is given as 2.47 kg.

Hence, $\text { molality }=\frac{1.34}{2.47}= 0.54 \mathrm{M}$

Thus, the molality is 0.54 M when 1.34 moles of NaCl is present in 2.47 kg of solvent.

Inessa [10]

Answer:

B. temperature decreases as altitude increases.

Explanation:

Just like in the lower reaches of the atmosphere, the troposphere, in the mesosphere, temperature decreases as altitude increases.

The mesosphere is the third layer of the atmosphere just above the stratosphere.

It begins at the top of the stratosphere and ends at the mesopause where the thermosphere begins.
The mesosphere is often referred to as the middle layer.

With increasing height, the temperature of the mesosphere decreases significantly. The top of the mesosphere is one of the coldest part of the earth atmosphere. This is as a result of increasing atmospheric cooling by carbon dioxide in this region of the atmosphere.
