Three gases (8.00 g of methane, CH4, 18.0 g of ethane, C2H6, and an unknown amount of propane, C3H8) were added to the same 10.0

-L container. At 23.0 ∘C, the total pressure in the container is 5.00 atm . Calculate the partial pressure of each gas in the container.

Answer:

Partial pressure of methane: 1.18 atm

Partial pressure of ethane: 1.45 atm

Partial pressure of propane: 2.35 atm

Explanation:

Let the total moles of gases in a container be n.

Total pressure of the gases in a container =P = 5.0 atm

Temperature of the gases in a container =T = 23°C = 296.15 K

Volume of the container = V = 10.0 L

PV=nRT (Ideal gas equation)

n=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{5.0 atm\times 10.0 L}{0.0821 atm L/mol K\times 296.15 K}=2.0564 mol

Moles of methane gas =n_1=\frac{8.00 g}{16.04 g/mol}=0.4878 mol

Moles of ethane gas =n_2=\frac{18.00 g}{30.07 g/mol}=0.5986 mol

Moles of propane gas =n_3=?

n=n_1+n_2+n_3

n_3=n-n_1-n_2=2.0564 mol-0.4878 mol-0.5986 mol= 0.9700 mol

Partial pressure of all the gases can be calculated by using Raoult's law:

p_i=P\times \chi_i

p_i = partial pressure of 'i' component.

\chi_1 = mole fraction of 'i' component in mixture

P = total pressure of the mixture

Partial pressure of methane:

p_1=P\times \chi_1=P\times \frac{n_1}{n_1+n+2+n_3}=P\times \frac{n_1}{n}

p_1=5.00 atm\times \frac{0.4878 mol}{2.0564 mol}=1.18 atm

Partial pressure of ethane:

p_2=P\times \chi_2=P\times \frac{n_2}{n_1+n+2+n_3}=P\times \frac{n_2}{n}

p_2=5.00 atm\times \frac{0.5986 mol}{2.0564 mol}=1.45 atm

Partial pressure of propane:

p_3=P\times \chi_3=P\times \frac{n_3}{n_1+n+2+n_3}=P\times \frac{n_3}{n}

p_3=5.00 atm\times \frac{0.9700 mol}{2.0564 mol}=2.35 atm

Which equation shows how to calculate how many grams (g) of KOH would be needed to fully react with 4 mol Mg(OH)2? The balanced
bazaltina [42]
Mole ratio:

MgCl₂ + 2 KOH = Mg(OH)₂ + 2 KCl

2 moles KOH ---------------- 1 mole Mg(OH)₂
moles KOH ------------------- 4 moles Mg(OH₂)

moles KOH = 4 x 2 / 1

= 8 moles of  KOH

molar mass KOH = 56 g/mol

mass of KOH = n x mm

mass of  KOH = 8 x 56

= 448 g of KOH 

hope this helps!

Substance X has a fixed volume, and the attraction between its particles is strong. Substance Y has widely spread out particles
enot [183]
Among the choices given, the correct answer is the first option. Substance X most likely is a crystal, and substance Y most likely is a liquid. Substance X having a fixed volume describes a crystal because crystals occupy a certain volume. Substance Y is a liquid because liquids can still be compressed further in order to attain a more packed <span>structure.</span>

A cleaning bottle contains 83.1 g of ammonia. How many molecules of ammonia are in the bottle?
Tasya [4]

Answer:

2.94 x 10^2^4

Explanation:

First we need to find out how many moles of ammonia there are, using the formula: Mass = mr x moles.

We know the mass is 83.1g, now we need to find the mR of ammonia - NH3.

N = 14, H = 1, so 14 + (3x1) = an mr of 17.

Moles = mass/ mr = 83.1/17 = 4.8882

Now we can multiply the moles by avogadro's constant to find the number of molecules:

4.8882 x (6.02 x 10^2^3 ) = 2.94 x 10^2^4 molecules of ammonia

What salt is produced in each of the following neutralization reactions? HNO3(aq)+KOH(aq)→H2O(l)+? HNO3(aq)+Ca(OH)2(aq)→H2O(l)+?
Igoryamba

Answer:

1. KNO3

2. Ca(NO3)2

3. CaCl2

4. KCl

Explanation:

In each of the neutralization reactions, the H from one of the reactant(acid) will combine with the OH from the other reactant (base) to form water while the other elements combine to give the salt as shown below:

1. HNO3 + KOH → H2O + KNO3

The salt produced is KNO3

2. 2HNO3 + Ca(OH)2 → 2H2O + Ca(NO3)2

The salt produced is Ca(NO3)2

3. 2HCl +Ca(OH)2 → 2H2O + CaCl2

The salt produced is CaCl2

4. HCl +KOH → H2O + KCl

The salt produced is KCl
