The mass fractions of a mixture of gases are 15 percent nitrogen, 5 percent helium, 60 percent methane, and 20 percent ethane wi
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass fraction N₂ : He : CH₄ : C₂H₆ : : 15 : 5 : 60 : 20

mole fraction  N₂ : He : CH₄ : C₂H₆ : : 15/28 : 5/4 : 60/16 : 20/30

mole fraction  N₂ : He : CH₄ : C₂H₆ : : .5357  : 1.25 : 3.75 : .67

Total mole fractions = .5357 + 1.25 + 3.75 + 0.67 = 6.2057

mole fraction of N₂ =  .5357 / 6.2057 = .0877

mole fraction of He = 1.25 / 6.2057 = .20

mole fraction of CH₄ = 3.75 / 6.2057 = .6043

mole fraction of C₂H₆ = .67 / 6.2057 = .108

Partial pressure = total pressure x mole fraction

Partial pressure of N₂ = 1200 kPa  x .0877 = 105.24 kPa

Partial pressure of He = 1200 kPa  x .20  = 240 kPa

Partial pressure of CH₄ = 1200 kPa  x  .6043  = 725.16 kPa

Partial pressure of C₂H₆ = 1200 kPa  x .108    = 129.6 kPa

Which member of the alkali metals has the highest
natulia [17]

Answer:

E)Li

Explanation:

Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract a pair of bonding electrons. In the periodic table, electronegativity increases across the period and decrease down the group.

This means the element at the top of the group would have the highest electronegativity.

The correct option is;

E)Li
