<u>Answer:</u> The mole fraction of Helium is 0.978 and that of oxygen gas is 0.022

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}      .....(1)

  • <u>For helium:</u>

Given mass of helium = 23 g

Molar mass of helium = 4 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of helium}=\frac{23g}{4g/mol}=5.75mol

  • <u>For oxygen gas:</u>

Given mass of oxygen gas = 4.14 g

Molar mass of oxygen gas = 32 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of oxygen gas}=\frac{4.14g}{32g/mol}=0.129mol

Mole fraction of a substance is given by:

\chi_A=\frac{n_A}{n_A+n_B}

  • <u>For helium:</u>

Moles of helium = 5.75 moles

Total moles = [5.75 + 0.129] = 5.879 moles

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\chi_{(He)}=\frac{5.75}{5.879}=0.978

  • <u>For oxygen gas:</u>

Moles of oxygen gas = 0.129 moles

Total moles = [5.75 + 0.129] = 5.879 moles

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\chi_{(O_2)}=\frac{0.129}{5.879}=0.022

Hence, the mole fraction of Helium is 0.978 and that of oxygen gas is 0.022

A 15.0 L tank of gas contained at a high pressure of 8.20 • 10^4 torr. The tank is opened and the gas expands into an empty cham
Kay [80]

Answer:

P₂ = 0.205torr

Explanation:

Boyle's law relates the pressure and volume of a gas under two different conditions. The equation is:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

<em>Where P is pressure and V volume of of 1, initial conditions and 2, final conditions.</em>

P₂ is our incognite

Replacing:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

8.20x10⁴torr*15.0L = P₂*600x10⁴L

<h3>P₂ = 0.205torr</h3>

Which combustion equation violates the law of conservation of matter?
Sladkaya [172]
The law of conservation of mass or principle of mass conservation states that for any system closed to all transfers of matter and energy, the mass of the system must remain constant over time, as system's mass cannot change, so quantity cannot be added nor removed. Hence, the quantity of mass is conserved over time.

The law implies that mass can neither be created nor destroyed, although it may be rearranged in space, or the entities associated with it may be changed in form. For example, in chemical reactions, the mass of the chemical components before the reaction is equal to the mass of the components after the reaction. Thus, during any chemical reaction and low-energy thermodynamic processes in an isolated system, the total mass of the reactants, or starting materials, must be equal to the mass of the products.

The concept of mass conservation is widely used in many fields such as chemistry, mechanics, and fluid dynamics. Historically, mass conservation was demonstrated in chemical reactions independently by Mikhail Lomonosov and later rediscovered by Antoine Lavoisier in the late 18th century. The formulation of this law was of crucial importance in the progress from alchemyto the modern natural science of chemistry.

The conservation of mass only holds approximately and is considered part of a series of assumptions coming from classical mechanics. The law has to be modified to comply with the laws of quantum mechanics and special relativityunder the principle of mass-energy equivalence, which states that energy and mass form one conserved quantity. For very energetic systems the conservation of mass-only is shown not to hold, as is the case in nuclear reactions and particle-antiparticle annihilation in particle physics.

Mass is also not generally conserved in open systems. Such is the case when various forms of energy and matter are allowed into, or out of, the system. However, unless radioactivity or nuclear reactions are involved, the amount of energy escaping (or entering) such systems as heat, mechanical work, or electromagnetic radiation is usually too small to be measured as a decrease (or increase) in the mass of the system.

For systems where large gravitational fields are involved, general relativity has to be taken into account, where mass-energy conservation becomes a more complex concept, subject to different definitions, and neither mass nor energy is as strictly and simply conserved as is the case in special relativity.
