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.

Describe how you would use a calorimeter to determine the specific heat capacity of a metal
vovikov84 [41]
<span>My only guess is obtain a metal and heat it in a boiling water bath (of known temperature) this will be your initial temperature. Now obtain a calorimeter cup with water of known temperature as well. Place the metal into the calorimeter cup and record the temperature after 5 minutes. You now have delta T, mass of the metal, and Q. Solve for C.

Hope this helps xox :)</span>

Why is it important to use low flame when evaporating water from a recovered filtrate?
goldfiish [28.3K]

It is important to use low flame when evaporating water from a recovered filtrate because then the water and filtrate will not spatter and the filtrate can also be recovered after evaporating water.

If flame is not low then water as well as got spatter so it is important to use low flame so that   the water and filtrate will not spatter.
