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

monitta

Answer:

\large \boxed{9.780 \times 10^{4}\text{ u}}

Explanation:

The molecular mass of a monomer unit is:

C₂H₃Cl = 2×12.01 + 3×1.008 + 35.45 = 24.02 + 3.024 + 35.45 = 62.494 u

For 1565 units,

\text{Molecular mass} = \text{1565 units} \times \dfrac{\text{62.494 u}}{\text{1 unit }} = \mathbf{9.780 \times 10^{4}}\textbf{ u}\\\\\text{The molecular mass of the chain is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{9.780 \times 10^{4}}\textbf{ u}}$}

How do water molecules move away from their H-O-H configuration to become new molecules?
maksim [4K]

Answer:

A water molecule is consists of two hydrogen atom, each bound to the central oxygen atom through a covalent chemical bond.

Water molecules can form new molecules by moving away from their H-O-H configuration due to thermal motions and rotations. <u>Thermal motions and rotations break the individual hydrogen bonds and change the  H-O-H configuration influenced by the temperature and pressure.</u>
