What is the pressure of a mixture of oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide gases if the pressures of these gases are as follows: P

O2 = 254 mm Hg, PN2 = 0.351 atm, and
PCO2 = 43.9 kPa?

Answer:

his is an example of a first-year chemistry question where you must first convert two of the pressures to the units of the third and add them up, per Dalton’s law of additive pressures. There are three possible answers, one for each of the three pressure units.

1 atm = 760 torr …… torr and mm Hg are the same

1 atm = 101.3 kPa

Dalton’s law:

P(total) = P(O2) + P(N2) + P(CO2)

Explanation:

Gases will assume whatever pressure depending on the equation of state of the mixture (in this case) and the volume htey are contained in. That could be the ideal gas law and simple mixing law, If you are quoting the partial pressures which you call simply “the pressure” of each gas, and that these refer to their values in the present mixture, then yes, we would add them up. The pressures are low enough for the ideal gas law to apply provided the temperature is not extremely low as well .

Which process is most likely responsible for the removal of the missing parts of the rock layers
Sav [38]
I believe Erosion is the process most likely responsible for the removal of the missing parts of the rock layers. Erosion involves the physical action of surface processes that removes soil, rock, or dissolved material from one location on the Earth's crust, then  moved away to another location.

The different molecules that make up the air in a room have on average the same kinetic energy. How does the speed of the differ
kap26 [50]
The formula for kinetic energy is KE=1/2(mv²).  Since both mass and velocity are multiplied by each other, particle with a larger mass needs to be moving slower than a particle with less mass if both have the same kinetic energy. You can think of it as 2KE/m=v² or 2KE/v²=m, If you increase the mass the velocity needs to decrease to keep the same KE value.

I hope this helps.  Let me know in the comments if anything is unclear.

Acetylene, C2H2, can be converted to ethane, C2H6, by a process known as hydrogenation. The reaction is C2H2(g) + 2H2(g) ⇌ C2H6(
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

-255.4 kJ

Explanation:

The free energy of a reversible reaction can be calculated by:

ΔG = (ΔG° + RTlnQ)*n

Where R is the gas constant (8.314x10⁻³ kJ/mol.K), T is the temperature in K, n is the number of moles of the products (n =1), and Q is the reaction quotient, which is calculated based on the multiplication of partial pressures by the partial pressure of the products elevated by their coefficient divide by the multiplication of the partial pressure of the reactants elevated by their coefficients.

C₂H₂(g) + 2H₂(g) ⇄ C₂H₆(g)

Q = pC₂H₆/[pC₂H₂ * (pH₂)²]

Q = 0.261/[8.58*(3.06)²]

Q = 3.2487x10⁻³

ΔG = -241.2 + 8.314x10⁻³x298*ln(3.2487x10⁻³)

ΔG = -255.4 kJ
