Answer: The correct answer is "Neither person is correct because light does not change frequency when it travels through different media".

Explanation:

The speed of the wave depends on the medium through which it is travelling. The speed of the light is more in the rarer medium than the denser medium.

Frank says that light travels through diamond with the greatest frequency. Lisa says that light travels through air with the greatest frequency. Both are wrong as the frequency remains constant when the light is travelling from one medium to another. The speed of light is lowest in diamond.

Therefore, the correct option is (c).

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

Marat540 [252]

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, $1.815\times 10^4KPa$

How to solve partial pressure given water vapor pressure?

CaHeK987 [17]

The partial pressure of water in the mixture, Pwater, is the equilibrium vapour pressure of water at the temperature specified. At 298 K, from the data at the beginning of the questions section, Pwater = 3.17 kPa. Using the Ideal Gas Equation, the number of moles of N2 can be calculated.

Why are most solid ionic compounds electrically nonconductive, whereas aqueous solutions of ionic compounds are good conductors

Allisa [31]

Answer:

there must be free-moving electrons in a compound to conduct electricity.

in solid ionic compounds, there are no free electrons so it can't conduct electricity.

But in aqueous form the forces of attraction are broken and the ions (cations and anions) are free to move. This means there are free electrons that allow the aqueous compound to conduct electricity.

List the substances Ar, Cl2, CH4, and CH3COOH, in order of increasing strength of intermolecular attractions. List the substance

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Order of increasing strength of intermolecular attraction:

$CH_3COOH$ > $Cl_2$ > $CH_4$ > Ar

Explanation:

$CH_3COOH$ can form hydrogen bond as H atom is attached with electronegative atom O.

Rest three, $Cl_2$ , $CH_4$ , Ar are non-polar molecules.

In non-polar molecules, van der Waal's intermolecular forces of attractions exist. Hydrogen bonding is stronger intermolecular attraction then van der Waal's intermolecular forces of attraction, hence, $CH_3COOH$ has strongest intermolecular attractions.

Ar will have least intermolecular attraction, as it behaves almost as ideal gas and there is no intermolecular attraction exist between molecules of ideal gases.

Molecular size and mass of $Cl_2$ is high as compared to $CH_4$ .

van der Waals intermolecular forces of attraction increases with increase in size.

Therefore,

Order of increasing strength of intermolecular attraction will be:

$CH_3COOH$ > $Cl_2$ > $CH_4$ > Ar
