Trimix is a general name for a type of gas blend used by technical divers and contains nitrogen, oxygen and helium. In one Trimi

x blend, the partial pressures of each gas are 55 atm oxygen, 90 atm nitrogen, and 50 atm helium. What is the percent oxygen (by volume) in this trimex blend?

Answer:

28.2

Explanation:

Add all of the pressures, 55, 90, and 50, and divide 100 by the answer you get (195). You'll get 0.512820513 and multiply it by .55 (atm of Oxygen) and you'll get 28.2

Answer:

The percentage by volume of Oxygen gas in the Trimex blend is 28.2%.

Explanation:

We shall use the formula that connects the mole ratio of a particular gas in a mixture with the partial pressure of that gas and the total pressure of the mixture: which is:

Mole ratio of Oxygen in Trimex = Partial pressure of Oxygen in Trimex divided by the Total pressure of all the gases that made up of Trimex.

Here we go, mole ratio of Oxygen= 55/195. The total pressure is the addition of the partial pressures of all the gases in the Trimex mixture, which is 55+90+50=195.

So the mole ratio of our Oxygen gas will be: 0.282, no unit.

This means we can assume the total moles of all the gas is 1, and oxygen is 0.282.

Since we know that 1 mole of any gas will have 22.4dm cube as volume, then the total volume of the Trimex will be 22.4dm cube, while that of the oxygen gas will be 0.282 X 22.4 dm cube= 6.3179dm cube. Therefore, the percentage by volume of Oxygen gas in the Trimex will be: 6.3179/22.4 X 100 = 28.2%.

1. If you have a sample of gas at a pressure of 16 atm, what will the pressure be if the volume is halved?
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

1. The pressure will be 32 atm, twice the initial pressure.

2. The pressure will be 1.83 atm, one third of the initial pressure.

Explanation:

Boyle's law is one of the gas laws that relates the volume and pressure of a certain quantity of gas kept at a constant temperature.

This law says that "The volume occupied by a given gaseous mass at constant temperature is inversely proportional to pressure." This means that if the pressure increases, the volume decreases, while if the pressure decreases, the volume increases.

Boyle's law is expressed mathematically as:

Pressure * Volume = constant

or P * V = k

Ahora es posible suponer que tienes un cierto volumen de gas V1 que se encuentra a una presión P1 al comienzo del experimento. Si varias el volumen de gas hasta un nuevo valor V2, entonces la presión cambiará a P2, y se cumplirá:

P1*V1=P2*V2

1. In this case:

  • P1= 16 atm
  • V1
  • P2= ?
  • V2= V1÷2= \frac{V1}{2} because the volume is halved.

So:

16 atm*V1= P2* \frac{V1}{2}

Solving:

\frac{16 atm*V1*2}{V1}=P2

16 atm*2= P2

32 atm= P2

<u><em>The pressure will be 32 atm, twice the initial pressure.</em></u>

2. Now

  • P1= 5.5 atm
  • V1
  • P2= ?
  • V2= V1*3 because the volume is tripled.

So:

5.5 atm*V1= P2* V1*3

Solving:

\frac{5.5 atm*V1}{3*V1}=P2

\frac{5.5 atm}{3}= P2

1.83 atm= P2

<u><em>The pressure will be 1.83 atm, one third of the initial pressure.</em></u>

What is the molar concentration of chloride ions in a
Yanka [14]

Answer:

The concentration of chloride ions in the final solution is 3 M.

Explanation:

The number of moles present in a solution can be calculated as follows:

number of moles = concentration in molarity * volume

In 100 ml of a 2 M KCl solution, there will be (0.1 l * 2mol/l) 0.2 mol Cl⁻

For every mol of CaCl₂, there are 2 moles of Cl⁻, then, the number of moles of Cl⁻ in 50 l of a 1.5 M solution will be:

number of moles of Cl⁻ = 2 * number of moles of  CaCl₂

number of moles of Cl⁻ = 2 ( 50 l * 1.5 mol / l ) = 150 mol Cl⁻

The total number of moles of Cl⁻ present in the solution will be (150 mol + 0.2 mol ) 150.2 mol.

Assuming ideal behavior, the volume of the final solution will be ( 50 l + 0.1 l) 50.1 l. The molar concentration of chloride ions will be:

Concentration = number of moles of Cl⁻ / volume

Concentration = 150.2 mol / 50.1 l = 3.0 M
