What happens when steam in the bathroom hits cold surface

1 answer:

5 0

Condensation happens when the temperature of air containing moisture decreases. falling air temperatures cause condensation because warm air can hold more moisture than cold air. when warm air in the bathroom is heated by the shower to temperatures as much as 100 degrees F, the air becomes saturated with moisture, hope it helps

Which of the following is not a correct chemical equation for a double displacement reaction? (D?)

emmasim [6.3K]

The correct answer would be the last option. A double displacement type of reaction involves the switching of places the cations and anions accordingly. The given reaction is erroneous since in the product side the anions and cations are being paired which would not make sense. The correct reaction should be

4NaBr + Co(SO3)2 yields CoBr4 + 2Na2SO3

Chris is correct because the reactants and products do not have to have the same mass, but they do have to weigh the same. Is the correct answer:) Hannah is right because the mass of the reactants was different than the mass of the products. is incorrect

The vapor above a mixture of pentane and hexane at room temperature contains 35.5% pentane by mass. What is the mass percent com

FrozenT [24]

The mass percent of Pentane in solution is 16.49%

The mass percent of Hexane in solution is 83.51%

Explanation:

Take 1 kg basis for the vapor: 35.5 mass% pentane = 355 g pentane with 645 g hexane.

Convert these values to mol% using their molecular weights:

Pentane: Mp = 72.15 g/mol -> 355g/72.15 g/mol = 4.92mol

Hexane: Mh = 86.18 g/mol -> 645g/86.18 g/mol = 7.48mol

Pentane mol%: yp = 4.92/(4.92+7.48) = 39.68%

Hexane mol%: yh = 100 - 39.68 = 60.32%

Pp-vap = 425 torr = 0.555atm

Ph-vap = 151 torr = 0.199atm

From Raoult's law we know:

Pp = xp $\times$ Pp - vap = yp $\times$ Pt (1)

Ph = xh $\times$ Ph - vap = yh $\times$ Pt (2)

Since it is a binary mixture we can write xh = (1 - xp) and yh = (1 - yp), therefore (2) becomes:

(1 - xp) $\times$ Ph - vap = (1 - yp) $\times$ Pt (3)

Substituting (1) into (3) we get:

(1-xp) $\times$ Ph - vap = (1 - yp) $\times$ xp $\times$ Pp - vap / yp (4)

Rearrange for xp:

xp = Ph - vap / (Pp - vap/yp - Pp - vap + Ph - vap) (5)

Subbing in the values we find:

Pentane mol% in solution: xp = 19.08%

Hexane mol% in solution: xh = 80.92%

Now for converting these mol% to mass%, take 1 mol basis for the solution and multiplying it by molar mass:

mp = 0.1908 mol $\times$ 72.15 g/mol

= 13.766 g

mh = 0.8092 mol $\times$ 86.18 g/mol

= 69.737 g

Mass% of Pentane solution = 13.766/(13.766+69.737)

= 16.49%

Mass% of Hexane solution = 83.51%
