A sample of gas isolated from unrefined petroleum contains 90.0% CH4, 8.9% C2H6, and 1.1% C3H8 at a total pressure of 3.34 atm.

What is the partial pressure of each component of this gas

Answer:

The partial pressure of each component of this gas is:

  • Partial pressure of methane= 3.006 atm
  • Partial pressure of ethane=  0.29726 atm
  • Partial pressure of propane= 0.03674 atm

Explanation:

The partial pressure of a gas in a mixture is the pressure that gas would exert if it were alone in the container.

On the other hand, the mole fraction is a dimensionless quantity that expresses the ratio of the number of moles of a component with the number of moles of all the components present.

Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures states that the partial pressure of each gas is equal to the total pressure of the gas mixture multiplied by the mole fraction of that gas.

The partial pressures then, can be calculated by multiplication of the percents by the total pressure.

So, the partial pressure of each component of this gas is: :

  • Partial pressure of methane= \frac{90}{100} *3.34 atm=0.9*3.34 atm

<u><em>Partial pressure of methane= 3.006 atm</em></u>

  • Partial pressure of ethane= \frac{8.9}{100} *3.34 atm=0.089*3.34 atm

<u><em>Partial pressure of ethane=  0.29726 atm</em></u>

  • Partial pressure of propane= \frac{1.1}{100} *3.34 atm=0.011*3.34 atm

<u><em>Partial pressure of propane= 0.03674 atm</em></u>

Glycogen ________. Glycogen ________. forms the regulatory molecules known as enzymes serves as a structural component of human
jasenka [17]

Answer:

Glycogen in an important storage polysaccharide found in animal tissues.

Explanation:

Full question:

Glycogen ________

A) forms the regulatory molecules known as enzymes

B) serves as a structural component of human cells

C) helps to protect vital organs from damage

D) is an important storage polysaccharide found in animal tissues

E) contains the genetic information found in cells

Glycogen is a complex polysaccharide of glucose founded in humans, animals, fungi and even bacteria. In humans, the glycogen is made and stored in liver cells. In the center on glycogen molecule, there is a single protein called Glycogenin. It is a center of a big flower made of glucose molecules (please refer to the scheme attached - Glycogenin is red and the blue lines are glucose chains). Glycogen is also stored in skeletal muscle, red and white blood cells, in glial brain cells and kidneys but in a smaller amounts. It can be found in the placenta in pregnant women where it serves as a nutrient storage for embryo. In an adult, the liver weighs 1,5 kg and glycogen weighs about 120g in such a liver. After a meal, the level of sugar is rising and the insulin is being secreted. Insulin is a tool by which sugar is being delivered to the cells, like a food delivery. During this period, glycogen is being synthesized in the liver out of glucose residues. When the meal is digested, the sugar level is back to normal. When more energy is needed, glycogen from the liver is broken down by glycogen phosphorylase and the new sugar is released into the bloodstream.

Which type of bond is present in hydrogen sulfide (H2S)? The table of electronegativities is given
LuckyWell [14K]

Bonds formed between atoms can be classified as ionic and covalent

Ionic bonds are formed between atoms that have a high difference in the electronegativity values.

In contrast, bonds formed between atoms that have a difference in electronegativity lower than the ionic counterparts are polar covalent bonds.  If the atoms have very similar electronegativities, they form non-polar covalent bonds.

In H2S, the S atom is bonded to 2 H atoms. The electronegativity of H = 2.2 and S= 2.56. Since the difference is not high the bond formed will be covalent (polar covalent).

A freezer compartment is covered with a 2-mm-thick layer of frost at the time it malfunctions. If the compartment is in ambient
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

The time required to melt the frost is 3.25 hours.

Explanation:

The time required to melt the frost dependes on the latent heat of the frost and the amount of heat it is transfered by convection to the air .

The heat transferred per unit area can be expressed as:

q=h_c*A*\Delta T\\\\q/A=h_c*\Delta T

being hc the convective heat transfer coefficient (2 Wm^-2K^-1) and ΔT the difference of temperature (20-0=20 °C or K).

q/A=h_c*\Delta T=2\frac{W}{m^2K}*20K=40\frac{W}{m^2}

If we take 1 m^2 of ice, with 2 mm of thickness, we have this volume

V=T*A = 0.002 m * 1 m^2=0.002m^3

The mass of the frost can be estimated as

M=\rho * V=700\frac{kg}{m^3}*0.002m^3= 1.4 kg

Then,  the amount of heat needed to melt this surface (1 m²) of frost is

Q=L*M=334\frac{kJ}{kg}*1.4kg= 467.6kJ

The time needed to melt the frost can be calculated as

t=\frac{Q}{(q/A)}=\frac{467.6kJ/m2}{40W/m2} = 11.69\frac{kJ}{W}*\frac{1W*s}{1J}*\frac{1000J}{1kJ}=   11690s=3.25h

How does trace evidence end up transferring to the crime scene, suspect, or victim? Discuss some of the ways that this might hap
disa [49]
Trace evidence can end up transferring to the crime scene through Locard's Exchange Principle, which states that whenever two things come into contact with one another, there is an exchange of physical material A.K.A evidence. This exchange is most often done through physical contact, such as a struggle or a suspect attempting to hide evidence or alter the crime scene. It can even involve a suspect's shirt sleeve brushing against some wet paint.
