Answer:

The partial pressure of acetic acid is 73.5 torr

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Total pressure is 226 torr

mass of acetic acid = 126 grams

mass of methanol = 141 grams

 

Step 2: Calculate moles of acetic acid

moles acetic acid = mass acetic acid / molar mass acetic acid

moles acetic acid = 127 grams / 60.05 g/mol

moles acetic acid = 2.115 moles

Step 3: Calculate moles of methanol

moles methanol = 141 grams / 32.04 g/mol

moles methanol = 4.40 moles

Step 4: Calculate total moles

Total moles = moles of acetic acid + moles methanol

Total moles = 2.115 moles + 4.40 moles

Total moles = 6.515 moles

Step 5: Calculate mole fraction of acetic acid

2.115 moles / 6.515 moles = 0.325

Step 6: Calculate partial pressure of acetic acid

P(acetic acid) = 0.325 * 226

P(acetic acid) = 73.45 torr ≈73.5

 

We can control this by calculating the partial pressure of methanol

mole fraction of methanol = (6.515-2.115)/6.515 = 0.675

P(methanol) = 0.675 * 226 = 152.55

226 - 152.55 = 73.45 torr  

The partial pressure of acetic acid is 73.5 torr

Determine the electron-group arrangement, molecular shape, and ideal bond angle(s) for each of the following:
Alja [10]

The electron-group arrangement of CO₃²⁻ is trigonal planar. The molecular shape is trigonal planar, and the ideal bond angle(s) is CO₃²⁻ is 120°

<h3>What is the molecular geometry of a compound?</h3>

The position of the compound's electrons and nuclei can be seen in the molecular geometry. It demonstrates how the form of the complex is created by the interaction of electrons and nuclei.

Here, according to the VSEPR  theory, the shape of the carbonate ion is trigonal planar. The carbon will be in the center.

Thus, the electron-group arrangement and the shape of the carbonate ion are trigonal planar. The bond angle will be 120°.

Methane burns in oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. Which of the following represents a preliminary, unbalanced equatio
german

The correct option is: CH4 + O2 → CO2 + H2O.

In writing chemical equations, the reactants are usually written to the left of the equation of the reaction while the products are written to the right of the reaction. An arrow pointing in the right direction shows the direction of the reaction. In the question given above, methane and oxygen are the reactants while carbon dioxide and water are the products. The options that states the chemical reaction correctly is option 1.

Why does the sun seem to change position in the sky?
Blababa [14]

The first major contributor to the Sun's apparent motion is the fact that Earth orbits the Sun while tilted on its axis. The Earth's axial tilt of approximately 23.5° ensures that observers at different locations will see the Sun reach higher-or-lower positions above the horizon throughout the year.

hope this helps ^^

Write the net ionic equation for the reaction of aqueous copper(II) chloride with aqueous sodium phosphate. Remember to include
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

3 Cu²⁺(aq) + 2 PO₄³⁻(aq) ⇒ Cu₃(PO₄)₂(s)

Explanation:

Let's consider the molecular equation between aqueous copper(II) chloride and aqueous sodium phosphate.

3 CuCl₂(aq) + 2 Na₃PO₄(aq) ⇒ 6 NaCl(aq) + Cu₃(PO₄)₂(s)

The complete ionic equation includes all the ions and insoluble species.

3 Cu²⁺(aq) + 6 Cl⁻(aq) + 6 Na⁺(aq) + 2 PO₄³⁻(aq) ⇒ 6 Na⁺(aq) + 6 Cl⁻(aq) + Cu₃(PO₄)₂(s)

The net ionic equation includes only the ions that participate in the reaction (not spectator ions) and insoluble species.

3 Cu²⁺(aq) + 2 PO₄³⁻(aq) ⇒ Cu₃(PO₄)₂(s)
