000 atm of dry nitrogen, placed in a container having a pinhole opening in its side, leaks from the container 3.55 times faster

We will assume that the question is discussing 1.000 atm of N₂ initially. The question is discussing diffusion rates of two gases and asks us to identify the species. We can use Graham's Law to attempt this problem with the following formula:

Rate₁/Rate₂ = sqrt(M₂/M₁)

We are told that the N₂ is 3.55 times as fast as the unknown species, so rate 1 = 3.55 and rate 2 = 1. We know the molecular weight of N₂ as 28 g/mol. Now we can use the equation above to solve for the molecular weight of the unknown, M₂:

3.55/1 = sqrt(M2/28)
(3.55)² = M₂/28
M₂ = 28 (3.55)₂
M₂ = 353 g/mol

The unknown compound has a molecular mass of roughly 353 g/mol and this is very close to the molecular mass of UF₆ which is 352.02 g/mol. Therefore, it is likely that the unknown gas is UF₆.

a heliox tank contains 32% helium and 68% oxygen. the total pressure in the tank is 395 kPa. What is the partial pressure of oxy
trapecia [35]

Answer:

Pp O2 = 82.944 KPa

Explanation:

heliox tank:

∴ %wt He = 32%

∴ %wt O2 = 68%

∴ Pt = 395 KPa

⇒ Pp O2 = ?

assuming a mix of ideal gases at the temperature and volumen of the mix:

∴ Pi = RTni/V

∴ Pt = RTnt/V

⇒ Pi/Pt = ni/nt = Xi

⇒ Pi = (Xi)*(Pt)

∴ Xi: molar fraction (ni/nt)

⇒ 0.68 = mass O2/mass mix

assuming mass mix = 100 g

⇒ mass O2 = 68 g

∴ molar mass O2 = 32 g/mol

⇒ moles O2 = (68 g)(mol/32 g) = 2.125 mol O2

⇒ mass He = 32 g

∴ molar mass He = 4.0026 g/mol

⇒ moles He = (32 g)(mol/4.0026 g) = 7.995 mol He

⇒ nt = nO2 + nHe = 2.125 mol + 7.995 mol = 10.12 moles

molar fraction O2:

⇒ X O2 = nO2/nt = (2.125 mol/10.12 mol) = 0.2099

⇒ Pp O2 = (X O2)(Pt)

⇒ Pp O2 = (0.2099)(395 KPa)

⇒ Pp O2 = 82.944 KPa

which of the following is not a postulate or assumption of the kinetic molecular theory? select the correct answer below: pressu
Alinara [238K]

The right response to the preceding question is: "Repulsive forces on each other or the container walls, both of which are postulates."

The Kinetic Molecular Theory's five fundamental tenets are as follows:

1. The molecules that make up gases are constantly moving, moving straight forward, and only changing direction when they clash with other molecules or the walls of a container.

2. The gas's constituent molecules are minuscule in comparison to the spaces between them.

3. Molecules in a gas collide with the container walls to exert pressure on the walls of the container.

4. Since gas molecules are not attracted to or repelled by the container walls, their collisions are not caused by these forces.

Explanation:

During the phase change represented by the heat of fusion the temperature does not change. The molecules in the liquid state has a higher degree of freedom but are stabilized by the strong hydrogen bonding requiring a larger into of energy to separate the molecules than the heat of fusion.
