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>

<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

A fruit-and-oatmeal bar contains 142 nutritional Calories. Convert this energy to calories
madreJ [45]

Answer:

a fruit and oatmeal bar contains 142000 calories.

A nutritional calorie, or kilocalorie, is equal to 1000 calories.

E = 142 kcal · 1000 cal/kcal.

E = 142 000 cal.

Calorie (cal), or small calorie, is the amount of energy needed to heat one gram of water by one degree Celsius.

One small calorie is approximately 4.2 joules.

A calorie is a unit of energy.

When a person says "I think that between an elephant and a monkey that jumped off the cliff, both of them will hit the ground at
Fofino [41]

Option A is correct. When a person says "<em>I think</em><em> that between an elephant and a monkey that jumped off the cliff, both of them will hit the ground at the same time."</em> the person is stating his Hypothesis

A hypothesis is an explanation proposed or given based on a piece of evidence that is limited.

It is useful at the beginning of an investigation because it serves as the building block for an impending fact or law.

From the statement, we can see that the person is not too sure of the information provided since he "thinks". <em>He said, </em><em>"I think</em><em> that between an elephant and a monkey that jumped off the cliff, both of them will hit the ground at the same time." </em>

<em />

Hence we can conclude that the person is stating a hypothesis.

Law and theory are incorrect because they are already proven facts.

Explain why a propane torch is lit inside a hot air balloon during preflight preparations. Which gas law applies?
Olegator [25]

Propane torch is lit inside a hot air balloon during pre-flight preparation because the heat from the touch is needed to heat the cold air inside the balloon, so that the air will expand and become less dense and rise, thus providing a lift for the balloon. This is line with charle's law, which states that, the volume of a fixed mass of ideal gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature. This law implies that, as the temperature of the air inside the balloon increase, the volume of the balloon also increases.

How many moles of methane are produced when 85.1 moles of carbon dioxide gas react with excess hydrogen gas?
tino4ka555 [31]

Taking into account the reaction stoichiometry, 340.0 moles  of methane are produced when 85.1 moles of carbon dioxide gas react with excess hydrogen gas

<h3>Reaction stoichiometry</h3>

In first place, the balanced reaction is:

CO₂ + 4 H₄  → CH₄ + 2 H₂O

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:

  • CO₂: 1 mole
  • H₄: 4 moles  
  • CH₄: 1 mole
  • H₂O: 2 moles

<h3>Moles of CH₄ formed</h3>

The following rule of three can be applied: if by reaction stoichiometry 1 mole of CO₂ form 4 moles of CH₄, 85.1 moles of CO₂ form how many moles of CH₄?

moles of CH_{4} =\frac{85.1 moles of CO_{2}x4 moles of CH_{4} }{1 moles of CO_{2}}

<u><em>moles of CH₄= 340.4 moles</em></u>

Then, 340.0 moles  of methane are produced when 85.1 moles of carbon dioxide gas react with excess hydrogen gas
