Read this excerpt from Emerson’s essay “Self-Reliance” and decide whether it is biased. Explain your answer as well as what you

can conclude from this excerpt.
To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men,—that is genius. . . Familiar as the voice of the mind is to each, the highest merit we ascribeto assign; credit to Moses, Plato, and Milton is, that they set at naughtnone; no books and traditions, and spoke not what men, but what they thought. A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within. . . . Yet he dismisses without notice his thought, because it is his. In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts: they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty.

Answer:

In this excerpt, Emerson is in favor of, and stresses the importance of, individual intellect and moral development. He urges readers to look within—into their inner selves to seek inspiration and attain self-reliance rather than imitating others or adopting age-old ideas, which society has practiced over time. He uses examples of great thinkers such as Moses, Milton, and Plato, who thought for themselves and didn’t let society and established ideas influence them. Emerson further stresses that people should not dismiss their own ideas, only to discover them in others’ works, but learn to nurture and accept their potential. When people are able to accept and trust their own thoughts, they will be able to come up with ideas as brilliant and original as those of any wise man.

A mixture of carbon dioxide and helium gases is maintained in a 7.91 L flask at a pressure of 1.42 atm and a temperature of 33 °
Crank

Answer:

The gas mixture contains 1.038 grams of helium

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

Volume of the flask = 7.91 L

Total Pressure = 1.42 atm

Temperature = 33 °C

Mass of CO2 = 8.25 grams

Molar mass of CO2 = 44.01 g/mol

Molar mass of He = 4 g/mol

<u>Step 2</u>: Calculate total number moles of gas

p*V = n*R*T

⇒ p = the pressure = 1.42 atm

⇒ V = the volume = 7.91 L

⇒ n= the number of moles = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ R = the gas constant = 0.08206 L* atm/K*mol

⇒ T = the temperature = 33 °C = 306 Kelvin

n = (p*V)/(R*T)

n = (1.42*7.91)/(0.08206 * 306)

n = 0.447 moles

<u>Step 3</u>: Calculate moles of CO2

Moles CO2 = mass CO2 / Molar mass CO2

Moles CO2 = 8.25 grams / 44.01 g/mol

Moles CO2 = 0.1875 moles

<u>Step 4:</u> Calculate moles of Helium

Moles Helium = total moles of gas - moles of CO2

Moles Helium = 0.447 - 0.1875 = 0.2595 moles of helium

<u>Step 5: </u> Calculate mass of helium

Mass of helium = moles of helium * molar mass of helium

Mass of helium = 0.2595 moles * 4 g/mol

Mass of helium = 1.038 grams

The gas mixture contains 1.038 grams of helium

The decomposition of N2O4 into NO2 has Kp = 2. Some N2O4 is placed into an empty container, and the partial pressure of NO2 at e
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Expression for the given decomposition reaction is as follows.

           N_{2}O_{4} \rightarrow 2NO_{2}

Let us assume that x concentration of N_{2}O_{4} is present at the initial stage. Therefore, according to the ICE table,

                    N_{2}O_{4} \rightarrow 2NO_{2}

Initial :               x                   0

Change :       - 0.1        2 \times 0.1

Equilibrium : (x - 0.1)             0.2

Now, expression for K_{p} of this reaction is as follows.

     K_{p} = \frac{P^{2}_{NO_{2}}}{P_{N_{2}O_{4}}}

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

          K_{p} = \frac{P^{2}_{NO_{2}}}{P_{N_{2}O_{4}}}

                 2 = \frac{(0.2)^{2}}{(x - 0.1)}

                2 \times (x - 0.1) = (0.2)^{2}

                            x = 0.12

This means that P_{N_{2}O_{4}} = x = 0.12 atm.

Thus, we can conclude that the initial pressure in the container prior to decomposition is 0.12 atm.
