Answer:

1. Partial pressure of N2 is 204.5 mmHg

2. Partial pressure of Cl2 is 613.5 mmHg

Explanation:

Step 1:

The equation for the reaction. This is given below:

NCl3 —> N2 (g) + Cl2 (g)

Step 2:

Balancing the equation.

NCl3 (l) —> N2 (g) + Cl2 (g)

The above equation is balanced as follow:

There are 2 atoms of N on the right side and 1 atom on the left side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of NCl3 as shown below:

2NCl3 (l) —> N2 (g) + Cl2 (g)

There are 6 atoms of Cl on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 3 in front of Cl2 as shown below:

2NCl3 (l) —> N2 (g) + 3Cl2 (g)

Now the equation is balanced.

Step 2:

Determination of the mole fraction of each gas.

From the balanced equation above, the resulting mixture of the gas contains:

Mole of N2 = 1

Mole of Cl2 = 3

Total mole = 4

Therefore, the mole fraction for each gas is:

Mole fraction of N2 = mole of N2/total mole

Mole fraction of N2 = 1/4

Mole fraction of Cl2 = mole of Cl2/total mole

Mole fraction of Cl2 = 3/4

Step 3:

Determination of the partial pressure of N2.

Partial pressure = mole fraction x total pressure

Total pressure = 818 mmHg

Mole fraction of N2 = 1/4

Partial pressure of N2 = 1/4 x 818

Partial pressure of N2 = 204.5 mmHg

Step 4:

Determination of the partial pressure of Cl2.

Partial pressure = mole fraction x total pressure

Total pressure = 818 mmHg

Mole fraction of Cl2 = 3/4

Partial pressure of Cl2 = 3/4 x 818

Partial pressure of Cl2 = 613.5 mmHg

Answer:

p_{N_2}=204.5mmHg\\p_{Cl_2}=613.5mmHg

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the undergoing chemical reaction is:

2NCl_3(g)\rightarrow N_2(g)+3Cl_2(g)

Thus, by knowing that the nitrogen trichloride is completely decomposed, one assumes there is one mole of nitrogen and three moles of chlorine (stoichiometric coefficients) as a basis to compute the partial pressures since they have the mole ratio from the nitrogen trichloride. Hence, the mole fractions result:

x_{N_2}=\frac{1}{1+3}=0.25\\ x_{Cl_2}=1-0.25=0.75

In such a way, for the final pressure 818 mmHg, the partial pressures become:

p_{N_2}=x_{N_2}p_T=0.25*818mmHg=204.5mmHg\\p_{Cl_2}=x_{Cl_2}p_T=0.75*818mmHg=613.5mmHg

Best regards.

What are the major difference between potential and kinetic energy?​
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

The energy of a body or a system with respect to the motion of the body or of the particles in the system. Potential energy is the stored energy in an object or system because of its position or configuration. Kinetic energy of an object is relative to other moving and stationary objects in its immediate environment.

If a object has a mass of 10 kilograms, how much does it weigh in newtons?
Len [333]
Depends on where the object is. On earth, moon , or somewhere without any other mass (theoretically). I think you mean how much does weigh on earth. So, the average gravitational acceleration on earth is : 9.83 m/s^2 To find out how much an object weighs, this is the formula : G=m.g where m is mass of the object g is the gravitational acceleration and G is weight. So, G = 10.9,83 = 98,3 N is the answer.
