3 0

Answer:

Due higher critical temperature, condensability and gas solubility.

Explanation:

The permeability of packaging materials to CO2 is 6 times higher than the permeability to O2 and nitrogen because carbondioxide gas has higher condensability and higher gas solubility in membranes. Due to its higher condensability and solubility, carbondioxide gas is more permeable that other gases such as oxygen and nitrogen gases. Carbondioxide gas also have  higher critical temperature than other gases which make it more permeable than other gases.

A solution contains 0.115 mol h2o and an unknown number of moles of nacl. the vapor pressure of the solution at 30°c is 25.7 tor
Valentin [98]
According to Raoult's low:
We will use this formula: Vp(Solution) = mole fraction of solvent * Vp(solvent)
∴ mole fraction of solvent = Vp(Solu) / Vp (Solv)
when we have Vp(solu) = 25.7 torr & Vp(solv) = 31.8 torr 
So by substitution:
∴ mole fraction of solvent = 25.7 / 31.8 =0.808 
when we assume the moles of solute NaCl = X 
and according to the mole fraction of solvent formula:
mole fraction of solvent = moles of solvent / (moles of solvent + moles of solute)
by substitute:
∴ 0.808 = 0.115 / (0.115 + X)
 So X (the no.of moles of NaCl) = 0.027 m

Plete the following problems significant figures: 6 × 0.30<br>​
jeka57 [31]
6= Only the digits 1 and 6 are the actual measured values. Therefore we have only 2 significant figures.

0.3= Zeros used as placeholders are not significant. Zeros that come before non-zero integers are never significant. Example 5: The zeros in 098, 0.3, and 0.000000000389 are not significant because they are all in front of non-zero integers. c. If the zeros come after non-zero integers and are followed by a decimal point, the zeros are significant.
