Answer:

Explanation:

In an acid-catalyzed epoxide ring-opening reaction, there is a formation of two intermediate in the reaction. The first stage involves the protonation of oxygen in the epoxide. The stage is followed by the attraction of water molecules onto the more substituted carbon atom in the epoxide ring. The stepwise reaction mechanism can be seen in the image attached below.

In the equation. C + O2 --------> CO2; CO2 is the

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer: Product

Explanation:

A Chemical reaction shows how substances, written in symbols known as reactants, are converted to different substances called products. An arrow from the left hand side (reactants) points to right hand side ( products )shows the direction of flow of reaction.

In the equation. C + O2 --------> CO2

reactant------> product

CO2 is the product

Part A: Three gases (8.00 g of methane, CH_4, 18.0g of ethane, C_2H_6, and an unknown amount of propane, C_3H_8) were added to t

myrzilka [38]

Explanation:

Part A:

Total pressure of the mixture = P = 5.40 atm

Volume of the container = V = 10.0 L

Temperature of the mixture = T = 23°C = 296.15 K

Total number of moles of gases = n

PV = nRT (ideal gas equation)

$n=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{5.40 atm\times 10.0 L}{0.0821 atm L/mol K\times 296.15 K}=2.22 mol$

Moles of methane gas = $n_1=\frac{8.00 g}{16 g/mol}=0.5 mol$

Moles of ethane gas = $n_2=\frac{18.0 g}{30 g/mol}=0.6 mol$

Moles of propane gas = $n_3$

$n=n_1+n_2+n_3$

$2.22=0.5 mol +0.6 mol+ n_3$

$n_3= 2.22 mol - 0.5 mol -0.6 mol= 1.12 mol$

Mole fraction of methane = $\chi_1=\frac{n_1}{n_1+n_2+n_3}=\frac{n_1}{n}$

$\chi_1=\frac{0.5 mol}{2.22 mol}=0.2252$

Similarly, mole fraction of ethane and propane :

$\chi_2=\frac{n_2}{n}=\frac{0.6 mol}{2.22 mol}=0.2703$

$\chi_3=\frac{n_3}{n}=\frac{1.12 mol}{2.22 mol}=0.5045$

Partial pressure of each gas can be calculated by the help of Dalton's' law:

$p_i=P\times \chi_1$

Partial pressure of methane gas:

$p_1=P\times \chi_1=5.40 atm\times 0.2252=1.22 atm$

Partial pressure of ethane gas:

$p_2=P\times \chi_2=5.40 atm\times 0.2703=1.46 atm$

Partial pressure of propane gas:

$p_3=P\times \chi_3=5.40 atm\times 0.5045=2.72 atm$

Part B:

Suppose in 100 grams mixture of nitrogen and oxygen gas.

Percentage of nitrogen = 37.8 %

Mass of nitrogen in 100 g mixture = 37.8 g

Mass of oxygen gas = 100 g - 37.8 g = 62.2 g

Moles of nitrogen gas = $n_1=\frac{37.8 g g}{28g/mol}=1.35 mol$

Moles of oxygen gas = $n_2=\frac{62.2 g}{32 g/mol}=1.94 mol$

Mole fraction of nitrogen= $\chi_1=\frac{n_1}{n_1+n_2}$

$\chi_1=\frac{1.35 mol}{1.35 mol+1.94 mol}=0.4103$

Similarly, mole fraction of oxygen

$\chi_2=\frac{n_2}{n_1+n_2}=\frac{1.94 mol}{1.35 mol+1.94 mol}=0.5897$

Partial pressure of each gas can be calculated by the help of Dalton's' law:

$p_i=P\times \chi_1$

The total pressure is 405 mmHg.

P = 405 mmHg

Partial pressure of nitrogen gas:

$p_1=P\times \chi_1=405 mmHg\times 0.4103 =166.17 mmHg$

Partial pressure of oxygen gas:

$p_2=P\times \chi_2=405 mmHg\times 0.5897=238.83 mmHg$
