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°

C and 0.94 atm, the density of this gas mixture is 2.7 g·L−1. What is the partial pressure of each gas? (2 sig fig)

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

What volume of CH4(g), measured at 25oC and 745 Torr, must be burned in excess oxygen to release 1.00 x 106 kJ of heat to the su
anastassius [24]

Answer:

V=27992L=28.00m^3

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the combustion of methane is shown below:

CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O

And has a heat of combustion of −890.8 kJ/mol, for which the burnt moles are:

n_{CH_4}=\frac{-1.00x10^6kJ}{-890.8kJ/mol}= 1122.6molCH_4

Whereas is consider the total released heat to the surroundings (negative as it is exiting heat) and the aforementioned heat of combustion. Then, by using the ideal gas equation, we are able to compute the volume at 25 °C (298K) and 745 torr (0.98 atm) that must be measured:

PV=nRT\\\\V=\frac{nRT}{P}=\frac{1122.6mol*0.082\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*298K}{0.98atm}\\\\V=27992L=28.00m^3

Best regards.

What happens in cellular respiration?
Alecsey [184]
Cellular respiration is the process of oxidizing food molecules, like glucose, to carbon dioxide and water. The energy released is trapped in the form of ATP for use by all the energy-consuming activities of the cell. The process occurs in two phases: glycolysis, the breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid.
