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

What is the total pressure (in atm) inside of a vessel containing N2 exerting a partial pressure of 0.256 atm, He exerting a par
Bezzdna [24]

Answer: Total pressure inside of a vessel is 0.908 atm

Explanation:

According to Dalton's law, the total pressure is the sum of individual partial pressures. exerted by each gas alone.

p_{total}=p_1+p_2+p_3

p_{N_2} = partial pressure of nitrogen = 0.256 atm

p_{He} = partial pressure of helium = 203 mm Hg = 0.267 atm  (760mmHg=1atm)

p_{H_2} = partial pressure of hydrogen =39.0 kPa = 0.385 atm  (1kPa=0.00987 atm)

Thus p_{total}=p_{H_2}+p_{He}+p_{H_2}

p_{total} =0.256atm+0.267atm+0.385atm =0.908atm

Thus total pressure (in atm) inside of a vessel is 0.908

Iodine, I2, is a solid at room temperature but sublimes (converts from a solid into a gas) when warmed. What is the temperature
Stels [109]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

382.63 K

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given;

  • Volume of Iodine as 71.4 mL
  • Mass of Iodine as 0.276 g
  • Pressure of Iodine as 0.478 atm

We are required to calculate the temperature of Iodine

  • We are going to use the ideal gas equation;
  • According to the ideal gas equation; PV = nRT, where R is the ideal gas constant, 0.082057 L.atm/mol.K.
  • Rearranging the formula;

T = PV ÷ nR

But, n, the number of moles = Mass ÷ Molar mass

Molar mass of iodine = 253.8089 g/mol

Thus, n = 0.276 g ÷ 253.8089 g/mol

           = 0.001087 moles

Therefore;

T = (0.478 atm × 0.0714 L) ÷ (0.001087 moles × 0.082057)

  = 382.63 K

Thus, the temperature of Iodine in Kelvin is 382.63 K
