(a) A gas fills completely the

ohaa [14]

Answer:

a)The force of attraction between particles of gas is negligible. Because of this, particles of gas move in all directions. Thus, a gas fills the vessel completely in which it is kept.

b)Because of negligible force of attraction between particles of gas, the particles of gas have the highest kinetic energy. These properties enable the particles of gas to move in all directions and hit the walls of container from all sides. Because of this a gas exerts pressure on the walls of the container in which it is kept.

Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) cannot be obtained in a pure form in the gas phase because it exists as a mixture of NO2 and N2O4. At 16°

Pavel [41]

Answer:

PNO₂ = 0.49 atm

PN₂O₄ = 0.45 atm

Explanation:

Let's begin with the equation of ideal gas, and derivate from it an equation that involves the density (ρ = m/V).

PV = nRT

n = m/M (m is the mass, and M the molar mass)

$PV = \frac{m}{M}RT$

$PxM = \frac{m}{V}RT$

PxM = ρRT

ρ = PxM/RT

With the density of the gas mixture, we can calculate the average of molar mass (Mavg), with the constant of the gases R = 0.082 atm.L/mol.K, and T = 16 + 273 = 289 K

$2.7 = \frac{0.94xMavg}{0.082x289}$

0.94Mavg = 63.9846

Mavg = 68.0687 g/mol

The molar mass of N is 14 g/mol and of O is 16 g/mol, than $M_{NO2} = 46$ g/mol and $M_{N2O4} = 96$ g/mol. Calling y the molar fraction:

$Mavg = M_{NO2}y_{NO2} + M_{N2O4}y_{N2O4}$

And,

$y_{NO2} + y_{N2O4} = 1$

$y_{N2O4} = 1 - y_{NO2}$

So,

$68.0687 = 46y_{NO2} + 92x(1 - y_{NO2})$

$68.0687 - 92 = 46y_{NO2} - 92y_{NO2}$

$46y_{NO2} = 23.9313$

$y_{NO2} = 0.52$

$y_{N2O4} = 0.48$

The partial pressure is the molar fraction multiplied by the total pressure so:

PNO₂ = 0.52x0.94 = 0.49 atm

PN₂O₄ = 0.48x0.94 = 0.45 atm

In full detail, explain what happens during the electrolysis of a NaCl brine? Be sure to identify what is being oxidized and wha

yuradex [85]

Answer:

Explanation:

Electrolysis of aqeous sodium chloride(NaCl)

Electrolysis is a process that converts electrical energy into chemical energy.

Electrolytic processes involves three major steps:

1. Ionization of electrolyte and water

2. Migration of ions to electrodes

3. Discharge of ions at the electrodes.

For the Electrolysis of brine, we follow these three steps:

1. Ionization of the aqeous brine solution:

NaCl → Na⁺ + Cl⁻

H₂O ⇄H⁺ + OH⁻

2. Migration of ions to the electrodes

The positive charges Na⁺ and H⁺ would both go to the cathode which is the negatively charged electrode

The negative charges Cl⁻ and OH⁻ migrates to the anode which are the positively charged electrodes. The anode is positively charged electrode.

3. Discharge of ions at the electrodes.

The preferential discharge of ions is based on the activity series and concentration of the ions.

On the activity series H is lower and it discharges preferentially to Na in the cathode:

2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → H₂

At this electrode, the cathode, reduction occurs and H⁺ ions are reduced.

At the anode Cl⁻ and OH⁻ migrates. But Cl⁻ is discharged preferentially due to its higher concentration.

2Cl⁻ ⇄ Cl₂ + 2e⁻

This is the oxidation half and Cl is oxidized
