A mixture of methane and carbon dioxide gases contains methane at a partial pressure of 431 mm Hg and carbon dioxide at a

Chemistry

KatRina [158]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

XCH₄ = 0.461

XCO₂ = 0.539

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Partial pressure of methane (pCH₄): 431 mmHg
  • Partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO₂): 504 mmHg

Step 2: Calculate the total pressure in the container

We will sum both partial pressures.

P = pCH₄ + pCO₂

P = 431 mmHg + 504 mmHg = 935 mmHg

Step 3: Calculate the mole fraction of each gas

We will use the following expression.

Xi = pi / P

XCH₄ = pCH₄/P = 431 mmHg/935 mmHg = 0.461

XCO₂ = pCO₂/P = 504 mmHg/935 mmHg = 0.539

As the water molecules re-freeze, what happens to the salt ions that are mixed in with the water?
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since salt is composed of two ions Na+ and Cl- it will attract to the opposite poles of the water and form a ion-dipole bond. This will cause the phenomenon freezing point depression where as the name states it will take a lower tempertature to freeze it. So instead of freezing at 0 degrees c it will freeze at a negative 2 or so on.
