Answer:

1. Partial pressure of H₂ = 2 atm

2. Partial pressure of He = 2 atm

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mole of H₂ = 3.50 moles

Mole of He = 3.50 moles

Total pressure (Pₜ) = 4 atm

Partial pressure of H₂ =?

Partial pressure of He =?

Next, we shall determine the mole fraction of each gas this can be obtained as follow:

Mole of H₂ = 3.50 moles

Mole of He = 3.50 moles

Total mole = Mole of H₂ + Mole of He

Total mole = 3.50 + 3.50

Total mole = 7 moles

Mole fraction of H₂ = mole of H₂ / Total mole

Mole fraction of H₂ = 3.5/7

Mole fraction of H₂ = 0.5

Mole fraction of He = mole of He / Total mole

Mole fraction of He = 3.5/7

Mole fraction of He = 0.5

1. Determination of the partial pressure of H₂.

Mole fraction of H₂ = 0.5

Total pressure (Pₜ) = 4 atm

Partial pressure of H₂ =?

Partial pressure of H₂ = Mole fraction of H₂ × Pₜ

Partial pressure of H₂ = 0.5 × 4

Partial pressure of H₂ = 2 atm

2. Determination of the partial pressure of He.

Total pressure (Pₜ) = 4 atm

Partial pressure of H₂ = 2 atm

Partial pressure of He =?

Total pressure (Pₜ) = Partial pressure of H₂ + Partial pressure of He

4 = 2 + Partial pressure of He

Collect like terms

Partial pressure of He = 4 – 2

Partial pressure of He = 2 atm

An object's velocity can be described by its acceleration and direction.<br><br> True<br> False
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

An object's velocity can be described by it's direction. Because velocity is a vector. Besides velocity and acceleration are different units they can't be described by each other.

Explain the reason potassium was visible when using the cobalt glass. Describe what occured.
Korolek [52]

Explanation:

If potassium is burnt the ions go into a high state of energy. Once they cool, it gives off energy in the form of a visible spectrum which has a characteristic color Now, The cobalt glass blocks out yellow light, and potassium ion which is purple in color is visible.
