Please help me with this question thanks :D

A liquid mixture composed of 20% CH4, 30% C2H4, 35% C2H2, and 15% C2H20. What is the average molecular weight of the mixture? a)

blondinia [14]

Answer: The correct answer is Option c.

Explanation:

We are given:

Mass percentage of $CH_4$ = 20 %

So, mole fraction of $CH_4$ = 0.2

Mass percentage of $C_2H_4$ = 30 %

So, mole fraction of $C_2H_4$ = 0.3

Mass percentage of $C_2H_2$ = 35 %

So, mole fraction of $C_2H_2$ = 0.35

Mass percentage of $C_2H_2O$ = 15 %

So, mole fraction of $C_2H_2O$ = 0.15

We know that:

Molar mass of $CH_4$ = 16 g/mol

Molar mass of $C_2H_4$ = 28 g/mol

Molar mass of $C_2H_2$ = 26 g/mol

Molar mass of $C_2H_2O$ = 48 g/mol

To calculate the average molecular mass of the mixture, we use the equation:

$\text{Average molecular weight of mixture}=\frac{_{i=1}^n\sum{\chi_im_i}}{n_i}$

where,

$\chi_i$ = mole fractions of i-th species

$m_i$ = molar masses of i-th species

$n_i$ = number of observations

Putting values in above equation:

$\text{Average molecular weight}=\frac{(\chi_{CH_4}\times M_{CH_4})+(\chi_{C_2H_4}\times M_{C_2H_4})+(\chi_{C_2H_2}\times M_{C_2H_2})+(\chi_{C_2H_2O}\times M_{C_2H_2O})}{4}$

$\text{Average molecular weight of mixture}=\frac{(0.20\times 16)+(0.30\times 28)+(0.35\times 26)+(0.15\times 42)}{4}\\\\\text{Average molecular weight of mixture}=6.75$

Hence, the correct answer is Option c.

Molecules with ____________ bonds between their components will ____________ (fall apart) in water, releasing charged particles

Musya8 [376]

Molecules with ionic bonds between their components will dissociate (fall apart) in water, releasing charged particles called ions.
When the number of protons and electrons are not equal, ion is formed. There are two types of ions, Cations and anions. Cations are the positively charged ions and when an atom gains electron, Cation is formed. Anions are negatively charged ions and when an atom loses electrons, anion is formed.

How does a rock’s mass change when it goes through the rock cycle?

JulijaS [17]

The rock cycle is the process of converting rock between igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic forms. ... Molten rock inside the Earth undergoes a phase change as it cools to produce solid igneous rock. The chemical changes which form the rock depend on the type of minerals present and how fast the rock cools.

On a mission to a newly discovered planet, an astronaut finds gallium abundances of 61.29% for 69Ga and 39.71% for 71Ga. What is

Verizon [17]

(exact weight of isotope #1) (abundance of isotope #1) + (exact weight of isotope #2) (abundance of isotope #2) = average atomic weight of the element(68.72*61.29) + (39.71*70.92) = 4211.84 + 2816.237028.07/100= 70.28

70.28 is the atomic mass of Gallium for the location
