Answer:

Honestly, I'm not even sure what the incorrect student was trying to do. The correct answer is:

( ) = the number of elements

(1)N2 and (3)H2

I think the student added the N2 and H2 to "balance" the chemical equation when instead they should have tried the balance the equation by making sure the atoms on the reactant side are equal to the atoms on the product side. You do this by multiplying the atoms on the reactant side until they equal the product side (not by adding them, as the student did).

How much heat is required to raise the temperature of 81.0 g of water from its melting point to its boiling point?

Dovator [93]

Answer:

Specific heat of water = 33.89 KJ

Explanation:

Given:

mass of water = 81 gram

Initial temperature = 0°C

Final temperature = 100°C

Specific heat of water = 4.184

Find:

Required heat Q

Computation:

Q = Mass x Specific heat of water x (Final temperature - Initial temperature)

Q = (81)(4.184)(100-0)

Q = 33,890.4

Specific heat of water = 33.89 KJ

A cylinder was charged with 1.25 atm of oxygen gas, 6.73 atm of argon, and 0.895 atm of xenon. What is the mole fraction of each

katrin2010 [14]

Considering the Dalton's partial pressure, the mole fraction of each gas is:

$x_{oxygen}$ = 0.14
$x_{argon}$ = 0.76
$x_{xenon}$ = 0.10

<h3>Dalton's partial pressure</h3>

The pressure exerted by a particular gas in a mixture is known as its partial pressure.

So, Dalton's law states that the total pressure of a gas mixture is equal to the sum of the pressures that each gas would exert if it were alone:

$P_{T} =P_{1} +P_{2} +...+P_{n}$

where n is the amount of gases in the gas mixture.

This relationship is due to the assumption that there are no attractive forces between the gases.

Dalton's partial pressure law can also be expressed in terms of the mole fraction of the gas in the mixture. The mole fraction is a dimensionless quantity that expresses the ratio of the number of moles of a component to the number of moles of all the components present.

So in a mixture of two or more gases, the partial pressure of gas A can be expressed as:

$P_{A} =x_{A} P_{T}$

In summary, the total pressure in a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of partial pressures of each gas.

Mole fraction of each gas

In this case, you know that:

$P_{oxygen }$ = 1.25 atm
$P_{argon}$ = 6.73 atm
$P_{xenon}$ = 0.895 atm
$P_{T} =P_{oxygen} +P_{argon}+P_{xenon}$ = 1.25 atm + 6.73 atm + 0.895 atm= 8.875 atm
