Why is air considered a mixture not a compound?

1 answer:

8 0

The best reason I can think of for why we believe that air is a mixture is that freezing air slowly yields different liquids at different temperatures. Liquid nitrogen has a different boiling point than liquid oxygen. They also freeze at different temperatures. If air were only 1 compound, then air in its entirety would have a single boiling point and a single freezing point.

In the reaction, A → Products, the rate constant is 3.6 × 10−4 s−1. If the initial concentration of A is 0.548 M, what will be t

Arada [10]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\large\boxed{0.529M}}$

Explanation:

Since the rate constant has units of s⁻¹, you can tell that the order of the reaction is 1.

Hence, the rate law is:

$r=d[A]/dt=-k[A]$

Solving that differential equation yields to the well known equation for the rates of a first order chemical reaction:

$[A]=[A]_0e^{-kt}$

You know [A]₀, k, and t, thus you can calculate [A].

$[A]=0.548M\times e^{-3.6\cdot 10^{-4}/s\times99.2s}$

$[A]=0.529M$

1.26 * 10^4 + 2.50 * 10^4 in sceintific notation

eduard

Hello! I can help you with this. First, convert them into it’s written out standard form. 10^4 is 10,000. 10,00 * 1.26 is 12,600. 10,000 * 2.5 is 25,000. 12,600 + 25,000 = 37,600 or 3.76 * 10^4 in scientific notation. The answer in scientific notation is 3.76 * 10^4.

A 0.75M solution of CH3OH is prepared in 0.500 kg of water. How many moles of CH3OH are needed?

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

We need 0.375 mol of CH3OH to prepare the solution

Explanation:

For the problem they give us the following data:

Solution concentration 0,75 M

Mass of Solvent is 0,5Kg

knowing that the density of water is 1g / mL, we find the volume of water:

$d = \frac{g}{mL} \\\\ V= \frac{g}{d} = \frac{500g}{1 \frac{g}{mL} } = 500mL = 0,5 L$
