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

Consider this reaction: NH4 HPO42− → NH3 H2PO4− Which is the Bronsted-Lowry acid ? NH4 HPO42- HPO42– H2PO4–.
kvv77 [185]

Bronsted - Lowry acid in the given reaction is NH₄, as it gives H⁺ ion.

<h3>What is Bronsted - Lowry acid?</h3>

According to the theory of Bronsted - Lowry, acids are those substances which gives H⁺ ion or proton in the aqueous medium.

Given chemical reaction is :

NH₄ + HPO₄²⁻ → NH₃ + H₂PO₄⁻

In the above reaction NH₄ is the Bronsted - Lowry acid as it gives H⁺ ion in the reaction and changes to NH₃ which is the conjugate base of NH₄. Whereas HPO₄²⁻ is the  Bronsted - Lowry base as it accepts the H⁺ ion to form H₂PO₄⁻ which is the conjugate acid of it.

Hence, option (1) is correct, i.e. NH₄ is the Bronsted - Lowry acid.

How are volcanic mountains formed?
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

Volcanic mountains form as lava oozes forth from cracks in the earth. The lava builds up around the area where the eruption occurred. Layers build upon layers and over a period of time, a volcanic mountain forms. There are several ways that volcanic mountains are formed. Shield volcanoes, which are very wide with a gentle slope, are formed by long periods of eruption with low-viscosity lava.

How does a heat sink improve cooling inside computers?
amid [387]

Answer:

It does this by using a thermal conductor (usually metal) to carry heat away from the processor into fins that expose a high amount of surface area to moving air. This allows the air to be heated, thus cooling the heat sink and the processor as well.

a cylinder with a movable piston contains 250 cm3 air at 10°C. if the pressure is kept constant, at what temperature would you e
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

T₂ = 169.89 K

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume = 250 cm³

Initial temperature = 10°C (10+273.15 K = 283.15 K)

Final temperature = ?

Final volume = 150 cm³

Solution:

The given problem will be solve through the Charles Law.

According to this law, The volume of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant number of moles and pressure.

Mathematical expression:

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁ = Initial temperature

V₂ = Final volume  

T₂ = Final temperature

Now we will put the values in formula.

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

T₂ = T₁V₂/V₁  

T₂ = 283.15 K × 150 cm³ /  250 cm³

T₂ = 42472.5 K. cm³  / 250 cm³

T₂ = 169.89 K
