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%.

How many grams of NH3 can be dissolved in 50 grams of water at 50oC?
weqwewe [10]

15 grams of  NH3 can be dissolved

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

50 grams of water at 50°C

Required

mass of NH3

Solution

Solubility is the maximum amount of a substance that can dissolve in some solvents. Factors that affect solubility  

  • 1. Temperature:
  • 2. Surface area:
  • 3. Solvent type:
  • 4. Stirring process:

We can use solubility chart (attached) to determine the solubility of NH3 at 50°C

From the graph, we can see that the solubility of NH3 in 100 g of water at 50 C is 30 g

So that the solubility in 50 grams of water is:

= 50/100 x 30

= 15 grams
