Do the number of moles of a gas impact the pressure of a gas?

1 answer:

6 0

Yes. Avogadro Law gives the relationship between volume and amount when pressure and temperature are held constant. Remember amount is measured in moles. This means the gas pressure inside the container will increase (for an instant), becoming greater than the pressure on the outside of the walls.

Answer: The partial pressure of oxygen gas is 2.76 bar

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation given by ideal gas which follows:

$PV=nRT$

where,

P = pressure of the gas = 5.57 bar

V = Volume of the gas = 2.19 L

T = Temperature of the gas = 298 K

R = Gas constant = $0.0831\text{ L bar }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

n = Total number of moles = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$5.57bar\times 2.19L=n\times 0.0831\text{ L. bar }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 298K\\\\n=\frac{5.57\times 2.19}{0.0831\times 298}=0.493mol$

To calculate the mole fraction of carbon dioxide, we use the equation given by Raoult's law, which is:

$p_{A}=p_T\times \chi_{A}$ ........(1)

where,

$p_A$ = partial pressure of carbon dioxide = 0.318 bar

$p_T$ = total pressure = 5.57 bar

$\chi_A$ = mole fraction of carbon dioxide = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.318bar=5.57bar\times \chi_{CO_2}\\\\\chi_{CO_2}=\frac{0.381}{5.57}=0.0571$

Mole fraction of a substance is given by:

$\chi_A=\frac{n_A}{n_A+n_B}$

We are given:

Moles of nitrogen gas = 0.221 moles

Mole fraction of nitrogen gas, $\chi_{N_2}=\frac{0.221}{0.493}=0.448$

Calculating the partial pressure of oxygen gas by using equation 1, we get:

Mole fraction of oxygen gas = (1 - 0.0571 - 0.448) = 0.4949

Total pressure of the system = 5.57 bar

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$p_{O_2}=5.57bar\times 0.4949\\\\p_{O_2}=2.76bar$

Hence, the partial pressure of oxygen gas is 2.76 bar

Which is the strongest acid listed in the table?

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Hydrofluoric acid.

Explanation:

To know which of the acid is the strongest, let us determine the pka of each acid. This is illustrated below:

1. Acetic acid

Ka = 1.8x10^-5

pKa =..?

pKa = –logKa

pKa = –Log 1.8x10^-5

pKa = 4.74

2. Benzoic acid

Ka = 6.5x10^-5

pKa =..?

pKa = –logKa

pKa = –Log 6.5x10^-5

pKa = 4.18

3. Hydrofluoric acid.

Ka = 6.8x10^-4

pKa =..?

pKa = –logKa

pKa = –Log 6.8x10^-4

pKa = 3.17

4. Hypochlorous acid

Ka = 3.0x10^-8

pKa =..?

pKa = –logKa

pKa = –Log 3.0x10^-8

pKa = 7.52

Note: the smaller the pKa value, the stronger the acid.

The pka of the various acids as calculated above is given below:

Acid >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> pKa

1. Acetic acid >>>>>>>>>> 4.74

2. Benzoic acid >>>>>>>> 4.18

3. Hydrofluoric acid >>>> 3.17

4. Hypochlorous acid >> 7.52

From the above illustration, we can see that hydrofluoric acid has the lowest pKa value. Therefore, hydrofluoric acid is the strongest among them.

Convert 1.7 Kg to cg

Kipish [7]

To answer this lets first see how much 1 kg is equal to in cg.

1 kg = 100000 cg

Now lets multiply:-

100000 × 1.7 = 170000

So, 1.7 kg = 170000 cg

Hope I helped ya!!!
