Explanation:

As a substance melts, and goes from a solid to a liquid state, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases, and the molecules move faster, and they separate further and further away from each other. The intermolecluar forces holding the molecules together become weaker

Trimix 10/50 is a gas mixture that contians 10% oxygen and 50% helium, and the rest is nitrogen. If a tank of trimix 10/50 has a

Answer: 1.61 x 10⁴ kPa

Dalton's law states that the sum of the partial pressures of each gas equals the total pressure of the gas mixture. According to this law,

Pi = xi P

where Pi is the partial pressure of the gas i, xi is the mole fraction of the gas i in the gas mixture and P is the total pressure.

The mole fraction is defined as the quotient between the moles of solute (ni) and the total moles of the mixture (nt), which is calculated by adding the moles of all its components:

xi = $\frac{n_{i} }{n_{t} }$

In the Trimix 10/50 mix you have 10% oxygen, 50% helium and 40% nitrogen.

To calculate the total number of moles of the mixture and thus determine the molar fraction of helium, we consider 100 g and calculate the number of moles that represent 10 g of O₂ (n₁), 50 g of He (n₂) and 40 g of N₂ (n₃):

n₁ = 10 g x $\frac{1 mol}{31.998 g}$ = 0.313 mol

n₂ = 50 g x $\frac{1 mol}{8.005 g}$ = 6.246 mol

n₃ = 40 g x $\frac{1 mol}{28.013 g}$ = 1.428 mol

Then the total number of moles (nt) will be:

nt = n₁ + n₂ + n₃ = 0.313 mol + 6.246 mol +1.428 mol

nt = 7,987 mol

Then, the mole fraction of helium (x₂) in the mixture will be,

x₂ = $\frac{6.246 mol}{7.987 mol}$ = 0.78

and the partial pressure of helium in the mixture, according to Dalton's law, will be:

P₂ = x₂ P = 0.78 x 2.07 x 10⁴ kPa

P₂= 1.61 x 10⁴ kPa

So, the partial pressure of helium if a tank of trimix 10/50 has a total pressure of 2.07 x 104 kPa is 1.61 x 10⁴ kPa

Which statement is always true of the cathode in an electrochemical cell? Reduction occurs here. It is considered the "negative"

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

It Is Considered The "negative" Electrode

Explanation:

An electrochemical cell is an electrolytic cell that drives a non-spontaneous redox reaction through the application of electrical energy. This cell is used to decompose chemical compounds, in a process called electrolysis. An electrode at which reduction take place is called the cathode. In reduction, electrons travel toward the site of reduction such that the negative charge is on the cathode.
