Answer:

P(C₆H₆) = 0.2961 atm

Explanation:

I found an exercise pretty similar to this, so i'm gonna use the data of this exercise to show you how to do it, and then, replace your data in the procedure so you can have an accurate result:

<em>"At a certain temperature the vapor pressure of pure benzene (C6H6) is measured to be 0.63 atm. Suppose a solution is prepared by mixing 79.2 g of benzene and 115. g of heptane (C7H16) Calculate the partial pressure of benzene vapor above this solution. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. Note for advanced students: you may assume the solution is ideal".</em>

Now, according to the data, we want partial pressure of benzene, so we need to use Raoul's law which is:

P = Xₐ * P°    (1)

Where:

P: Partial pressure

Xₐ: molar fraction

P°: Vapour pressure

We only have the vapour pressure of benzene in the mixture. We need to determine the molar fraction first. To do this, we need the moles of each compound in the mixture.

To get the moles:   n = m / MM

To get the molar mass of benzene (C₆H₆) and heptane (C₇H₁₆), we need the atomic weights of Carbon and hydrogen, which are 12 g/mol and 1 g/mol:

MM(C₆H₆) = (12*6) + (6*1) = 78 g/mol

MM(C₇H₁₆) = (7*12) + (16*1) = 100 g/mol

Let's determine the moles of each compound:

moles (C₆H₆) = 79.2 / 78 = 1.02 moles

moles (C₇H₁₆) = 115 / 100 = 1.15 moles

moles in solution = 1.02 + 1.15 = 2.17 moles

To get the molar fractions, we use the following expression:

Xₐ = moles(C₆H₆) / moles in solution

Xₐ = 1.02 / 2.17 = 0.47

Finally, the partial pressure is:

P(C₆H₆) = 0.47 * 0.63

<h2>P(C₆H₆) = 0.2961 atm</h2>

Hope this helps

What relationship exists between the mass number of an element and the isotopes of that element?
labwork [276]
The mass number plays an important role for elements and their isotopes. Mass number comes from the addition of protons and neutrons (their weight). Isotopes are the elements, but with a different number of neutrons. So in turn, by subtracting the number of protons (atomic number) from the mass, you can find the number of neutrons.

pentagon [3]

Answer:

c) atomic number / alkaline earth metals/ and halogens

Explanation:

Elements of modern periodic table are arrang in atomic number; for its electron configuration and its chemical properties. This arrangement shows periodic trends.

Alkaline earth metals are a group of elements that are located in group 2 of the Periodic Table and are the following: Beryllium (Be), Magnesium (Mg), Calcium (Ca), Strontium (Sr), Barium (Ba) and Radio (Ra).

The Halogens are the chemical elements that form group 17 (XVII A, previously used) or group VII A of the periodic table: fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), iodine (I), astatine (At) and teneso (Ts)
