Answer: Relative humidity

Explanation:

Relative humidity (RH) is the ratio of the partial pressure of water vapor to the equilibrium vapor pressure of water at a given temperature. Relative humidity depends on temperature and the pressure of the system of interest. The same amount of water vapor has higher relative humidity in cool air than in warm air. A related parameter to that regard is that of dew point.

A gas mixture contains 0.700 mol of N2, 0.300 mol of H2, and 0.400 mol of CH4. Calculate the pressure of the gas mixture and the

Nitella [24]

Answer:

Pressure of the gas mixture: 4.30 atm

Partial pressure N₂ = 2.15 atm

Partial pressure H₂ = 0.91 atm

Partial pressure CH₄ = 1.23 atm

Explanation:

To determine partial pressure we sum the total moles in order to find out the total pressure

We can work with mole fraction

We apply the Ideal Gases Law

0.700 N₂ + 0.300 H₂ + 0.400 CH₄ = 1.4 moles

We replace data → P . V = n . R .T

T° must be at K → 27 °C + 273 = 300 K

P . 8 L = 1.4 mol . 0.082 L.atm/mol.K . 300 K

P = ( 1.4 mol . 0.082 L.atm/mol.K . 300 K) / 8 L = 4.30 atm (Total pressure)

We apply the mol the fraction for the partial pressure

Moles x gas / total moles = partial pressure x gas / total pressure

Mole fraction N₂ → 0.700 /1.4 = 0.5

Partial pressure N₂ = 0.5 . 4.30 atm =2.15 atm

Mole fraction H₂ → 0.300 / 1.4 = 0.21

Partial pressure H₂ = 0.21 . 4.30 atm = 0.91 atm

Mole fraction CH₄ → 0.400 /1.4 = 0.28

Partial pressure CH₄ = 0.28 . 4.30 atm =1.23 atm

What does Hess's law state can be done in order to be able to react solid magnesium with oxygen gas safely (that is, without exp

aleksley [76]

Answer:

C. The reaction can be broken down and performed in steps

Explanation:

Hess's Law of Constant Heat Summation states that irrespective of the number of steps followed in a reaction, the total enthalpy change for the reaction is the sum of all enthalpy changes corresponding to all the steps in the overall reaction. The implication of this law is that the change of enthalpy in a chemical reaction is independent of the pathway between the initial and final states of the system.

To obtain MgO safely without exposing magnesium to flame, the reaction sequence shown in the image attached may be carried out. Since the enthalpy of the overall reaction is independent of the pathway between the initial and final states of the system, the sum of the enthalpy of each step yields the enthalpy of formation of MgO.
