Answer: The mole fractions of He in the mixture is 0.992.

The mole fraction of O_2 in the mixture is 0.008.

Explanation:

A gas mixture called heliox, 6.11% O_2 and 93.89% He gas by mass by mass.

Percentage of oxygen gas in a mixture by mass = 6.11%

In 100 gram mixture 6.11% of oxygen is present by mass :\frac{100\times 6.11}{100}=6.11 grams

Percentage of helium gas in a mixture by mass = 93.89%

In 100 gram mixture 93.89% of helium is present by mass :\frac{100\times 93.89}{100}=93.89  grams

Mole fraction of component 'x' in a mixture of 'x' and 'y'= =\chi _x=\frac{n_x}{n_x+n_y}

n_x = moles of gas 'x'=\frac{\text{mass of gas 'x'}}{\text{Molar mass of gas 'x'}}

n_y = moles of gas 'y'=\frac{\text{mass of gas 'y'}}{\text{Molar mass of gas 'y'}}

Moles of oxygen gas ,when 6.11 grams of oxygen in present in a mixture:

n_{O_2}=\frac{6.11 g}{16g/mol}=0.3818 moles

Moles of helium gas ,when 93.89 grams of helium in present in a mixture:

n_{He}=\frac{93.89 g}{2g/mol}=46.945 moles

=\chi _{O_2}=\frac{n_{O_2}}{n_{O_2}+n_{He}}=\frac{0.3818 mol}{0.3818 mol+46.945 mol}=0.008

=\chi _{He}=\frac{n_{He}}{n_{O_2}+n_{He}}=\frac{46.945 mol}{0.3818 mol+46.945 mol}=0.9919\approx 0.992

The mole fractions of He in the mixture is 0.992.

The mole fraction of O_2 in the mixture is 0.008.

How many moles of CaCO3 are needed to react with 12.5 mol SO2​
grandymaker [24]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

= 12.5 Moles of CaSO3

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

The reaction between CaCO3 and SO2 is given by the equation.

CaCO3(s) + SO2(g) → CaSO3(aq) + CO2(g)

The mole ratio between CaCO3 and SO2 is 1 : 1;

1 mole of CaCO3 reacts with 1 mole SO2 to form CaSO3 and CO2

Therefore;

<em>12.5 moles of SO2 will require 12.5 moles of CaSO3</em>

A student makes the following two claims about chemical reactions:
Svet_ta [14]
I would agree with the second one, not the first. You can't always see the chemical reaction, and it isn't always sudden. But the second claim is true.

Paul went to his friend's 2 km from his house, he used his bike and took him 9 minutes.
damaskus [11]

The average speed : 3.07 m/s

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

d1 = 2 km

t1 = 9 min

d2 = 1.5 km

t2 = 10 min

Required

The average speed

Solution

Average speed = total distance : total time

total distance :

= d1+d2

= 2+1.5

=3.5 km

total time :

= t1+t2

= 9 min + 10 min

= 19 min

Average speed :

= 3.5 km : 19 min

= 0.184 km/min

= 3.07 m/s
