Calculate the solubility of hydrogen in water at an atmospheric pressure of 0.380 atm (a typical value at high altitude).

Pani-rosa [81]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Calculate the solubility of hydrogen in water at an atmospheric pressure of 0.380 atm (a typical value at high altitude).

Atmospheric Gas Mole Fraction kH mol/(L*atm)

$N_2$ $7.81\times 10^{-1}$ $6.70\times 10^{-4}$

$O_2$ $2.10\times 10^{-1}$ $1.30\times 10^{-3}$

Ar $9.34\times 10^{-3}$ $1.40\times 10^{-3}$

$CO_2$ $3.33\times 10^{-4}$ $3.50\times 10^{-2}$

$CH_4$ $2.00\times 10^{-6}$ $1.40\times 10^{-3}$

$H_2$ $5.00\times 10^{-7}$ $7.80\times 10^{-4}$

<u>Answer:</u> The solubility of hydrogen gas in water at given atmospheric pressure is $1.48\times 10^{-10}M$

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the partial pressure of hydrogen gas, we use the equation given by Raoult's law, which is:

$p_{\text{hydrogen gas}}=p_T\times \chi_{\text{hydrogen gas}}$

where,

$p_A$ = partial pressure of hydrogen gas = ?

$p_T$ = total pressure = 0.380 atm

$\chi_A$ = mole fraction of hydrogen gas = $5.00\times 10^{-7}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$p_{\text{hydrogen gas}}=0.380\times 5.00\times 10^{-7}\\\\p_{\text{hydrogen gas}}=1.9\times 10^{-7}atm$

To calculate the molar solubility, we use the equation given by Henry's law, which is:

$C_{H_2}=K_H\times p_{H_2}$

where,

$K_H$ = Henry's constant = $7.80\times 10^{-4}mol/L.atm$

$p_{H_2}$ = partial pressure of hydrogen gas = $1.9\times 10^{-7}atm$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$C_{H_2}=7.80\times 10^{-4}mol/L.atm\times 1.9\times 10^{-7}atm\\\\C_{CO_2}=1.48\times 10^{-10}M$

Hence, the solubility of hydrogen gas in water at given atmospheric pressure is $1.48\times 10^{-10}M$

What are the uses of polythene?

Crank

Polyethylene is synthesized from ethylene which is a compound derived from natural gas or petroleum. It’s essentially a thermoplastic, implying that it can be molten and remolded into the desired shape making it reusable and cost-effective. Of all the different kinds of plastics produced around the world, polyethylene is the most common and significant.

Polyethylene is manufactured in three different forms namely:

Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE),High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) andLinear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE),

Each of these three plastics has different applications ranging from containers, packaging and films to buckets and bottles.

Hope it helps you...

How many moles of chromium III nitrate are produced When chromium reacts with 0.85 moles of lead for nitrate to produce chromium

Pepsi [2]

0.85 moles formula units of lead nitrate will produce 0.57 moles formula units of chromium (III) nitrate.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Typically, the oxidation state of Pb in lead nitrate tend to be +2. In other words, Pb in lead nitrate tends to exist as $\text{Pb}^{2+}$ ions. The formula for a nitrate ion is ${\text{NO}_3}^{-}$ . The charge on each of the nitrate ion is -1. The charge on the two ions should balance. As a result, each $\text{Pb}^{2+}$ ion in lead nitrate would pair up with two ${\text{NO}_3}^{-}$ ions. The formula for lead nitrate will be $\text{Pb}({\text{NO}_3})_2$ . Each formula unit of lead nitrate will contain one $\text{Pb}^{2+}$ ion and two ${\text{NO}_3}^{-}$ ions.

The "III" in the name "chromium (III) nitrate" is a Roman Numeral. It indicates that the oxidation state of Cr in chromium (III) nitrate is +3. The Cr in that compound will exist as $\text{Cr}^{3+}$ . Similarly, each $\text{Cr}^{3+}$ will pair up with three ${\text{NO}_3}^{-}$ ions. The formula for chromium (III) nitrate will be $\text{Cr}(\text{NO}_3})_3$ . Each formula unit of chromium (III) nitrate will contain one ${\text{NO}_3}^{-}$ ion and three ${\text{NO}_3}^{-}$ ions.

0.85 moles formula units of lead nitrate will contain 0.85 × 2 = 1.7 moles of ${\text{NO}_3}^{-}$ ions. Those nitrate ions will end up in 1.7 / 3 = 0.57 moles formula units of chromium (III) nitrate. As a result, the reaction will produce 0.57 moles formula units of chromium (III) nitrate.

Which molecule has a nonpolar covalent bond?

kondaur [170]

Nonpolar covalent bonds are chemical bonds where two atoms share a pair of electrons with each other and the electronegativities of the two atoms are equal. An example is methane. It has four carbon-hydrogen single covalent bonds. These bonds are nonpolar because the electrons are shared equally.

Give one chemical property of soda ash.

Elenna [48]

<span>Soda ash is sodium carbonate, Na2CO3. One chemical property of this compound is its basicity, which is measured by the pKb. The pKb for sodium carbonate is 3.67. It is the result of the dissociation of Na2CO3 in water: Na2CO3 + H2O = Na HCO3 + Na (+) + OH(-). This pKb means that it is a highly basic compound. pKb = log { 1 / [OH-] }, so pKb is a measure of the concentrations of OH- ions, which is the basiciity of the compound. </span>
