Does a part or slice of a substance have a different density than the whole piece? Pls help!

Density is defined as mass per unit volume so even when you cut an object in half unit volume does not change so each part would have a different density even if it’s cut into the same pieces

A 2.50-l flask contains a mixture of methane (ch4) and propane (c3h8) at a pressure of 1.45 atm and 20°c. when this gas mixture

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:- Mole fraction of methane in the original gas mixture is 0.854.

Solution:- From given volume, pressure and temperature, we could calculate the total moles of the gaseous mixture of methane and propane using ideal gas law as:

PV = nRT

$n=\frac{PV}{RT}$

V = 2.50 L

P = 1.45 atm

T = 20 + 273 = 293 K

Let's plug in the values in the equation:

$n=(\frac{1.45*2.50}{0.0821*293})$

n = 0.151

Let's say the solution has X moles of methane. Then moles of propane would be = (0.151 - X)

The combustion equations of methane and propane are:

$CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O$

$C_3H_8+5O_2\rightarrow 3CO_2+4H_2O$

From methane balanced equation, there is 1:1 mol ratio between methane and carbon dioxide. So, X moles of methane would produce X moles of carbon dioxide.

From balanced equation of propane, there is 1:3 mol ratio between propane and carbon dioxide. So, (0.151 - X) moles of propane would give 3(0.151 - X) moles of carbon dioxide.

So, total moles of carbon dioxide that we would get from methane and propane combustion are:

X + 3(0.151 - X)

From given data, 8.60 g of carbon dioxide are formed by the combustion of gas mixture.

moles of Carbon dioxide = $8.60g(\frac{1mol}{44g})$

moles of carbon dioxide = 0.195 mol

Hence, 0.195 = X + 3(0.151 - X)

Let's solve this for X as:

0.195 = X + 0.453 - 3X

0.195 = 0.453 - 2X

2X = 0.453 - 0.195

2X = 0.258

$X=\frac{0.258}{2}$

X = 0.129

So, there are 0.129 moles of methane in the mixture.

moles of propane = 0.151 - 0.129 = 0.022

mole fraction of methane = $\frac{moles of Methane}{total moles}$

mole fraction of methane = $\frac{0.129}{0.151}$

mole fraction of methane = 0.854

Hence, the mole fraction of methane gas in the original gas mixture is 0.854.

What is the motion of convention currents

Blababa [14]

Answer:Convection currents drive the movement of Earth's rigid tectonic plates in the planet's fluid molten mantle. In places where convection currents rise up towards the crust's surface, tectonic plates move away from each other in a process known as seafloor spreading (Fig. 7.21).

How does the structureof the cell membrane help the cell regulate water

Tanya [424]

"The major purpose of the cell membrane is to regulate the types of substances that enter the cells and leave the cell, thus, it is a semi permeable structure.
The structure of the cell membrane help the cell in regulating the amount of the water inside the cell because, when the optimum amount of water is inside the cell, the membrane will not allow the pasage of water molecules into the cell again.
And in a situation, where the concentration of substance inside the cell is above the normal concentration, the cell membrane will allow the required amount of water to flow into the cell in order to reduce the concentration.
Also, the phospholipid bilayers that are found in the cell membrane help to regulate water homeostasis of the cell by using its hydrophobic tail to repel water molecules and thus keep them out or inside of the cells."
