A solution contains two isomers, n-propyl alcohol and isopropyl alcohol, at 25°C. The total vapor pressure is 38.6 torr. What ar

e the mole fractions of each alcohol in the liquid and in the vapor phase? The vapor pressures are 21.0 torr for n-propyl alcohol and 45.2 torr for isopropyl alcohol.

Answer:

Mole fraction of alcohols in liquid phase x_1=0.2727\& x_2=0.7273.

Mole fraction of alcohols in vapor phase y_1=0.1468\& y_2=0.8516.

Explanation:

The total vapor pressure of the solution = p =38.6 Torr

Partial vapor pressure of the  n-propyl alcohol =p^{o}_1=21.0 Torr

Partial vapor pressure of the isopropyl alcohol =p^{o}_2=45.2 Torr

p=x_1\times p^{o}_1+x_2\times p^{o}_2  (Raoult's Law)

p=x_1\times p^{o}_1+(1-x_1)\times p^{o}_2

38.6 Torr=x_1\times 21.0 Torr+(1-x_1)\times 45.2 Torr

x_1=0.2727

x_2=1-0.2727=0.7273

x_1\& x_2 is mole fraction in liquid phase.

Mole fraction of components in vapor phase y_1\& y_2

p_1=y_1\times p (Dalton's law of partial pressure)

y_1=\frac{p_1}{38.6 Torr}=\frac{p^{o}_1\times x_1}{38.6 Torr}

y_1=\frac{21.0 Torr\times 0.2727}{38.6 Torr}=0.1468

y_1=\frac{p_2}{38.6 Torr}=\frac{p^{o}_2\times x_2}{38.6 Torr}

y_2=\frac{45.2 Torr\times 0.7273}{38.6 Torr}=0.8516

Mole fraction of alcohols in vapor phase y_1=0.1468\& y_2=0.8516

Sonar is a technology that uses sound waves to calculate the distance to an object. Explain why you think sonar is useful for sc
Margarita [4]

Answer:

<em>Sonar can be used to measure the depth of the seabed or the distance of any object, animal or a man-made vessel any other objects </em>

Explanation:

  • A sound wave or sound pulse is projected into the water.
  • If any object tends to come in the way of the pulse, an echo is produced or the signal is reflected back.
  • A transducer measures the strength of this signal and hence determines the depth of the object or the sea.

This is much better way of measuring distances under the sea since light alone is not able to pierce through the ocean after a certain distance.

A powerful sonar blast can help in taking multiple measurements at a time, while even a laser will find it difficult to reach below 3 km of depth.

A 0.271g sample of an unknown vapor occupies 294ml at 140C and 874mmHg. The emperical formula of the compound is CH2. How many m
Phoenix [80]
Using PV = nRT, we can calculate the moles of the sample.
874 mmHg = 116,524 Pa
n = PV/RT
n = 116,524 x 294 x 10⁻⁶ / 8.314 x (140 + 273)
n = 9.98 x 10⁻³ mol

moles = mass / Mr
Mr = 0.271/9.98 x 10⁻³
Mr = 27.2
Mass of empirical formula = 14
Repeat units = 27.2 / 14 ≈ 2

Formula of substance:
C₂H₄

Combustion equation:
C₂H₄ + 3O₂ → 2CO₂ + 2H₂O

1 mole produces 2 moles of CO₂, so 3 moles will produce 6 moles CO₂

What is solubility? .​
blsea [12.9K]
Solubility is the ability of a solid, liquid, or gaseous chemical substance (referred to as the solute) to dissolve in solvent (usually a liquid) and form a solution. The solubility of a substance fundamentally depends on the solvent used, as well as temperature and pressure.

sugar taken in a boiling tube is strongly heated. a) write the procedure of this experiment . b) which are the products obtained
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

chemical changes

Explanation:

A chemical change is one in which a new kind of matter is formed. It is always accompanied by energy changes. The process is not easily reversible and hence, it is a permanent procedure.

Burning of charcoal produces a new kind of produces in the combustion process.

Both heating of copper(ii)carbonate strongly and zinc oxide will lead to a decomposition reaction in which new compounds are formed.
