Answer:

The mole fraction of hexane is 0.61

Explanation:

Raoult's law allows calculating the vapor pressure of a substance when it is forming part of an ideal solution, knowing its vapor pressure when it is pure (at the same temperature) and the composition of the ideal solution in terms of mole fraction.

Pi=xi*Pi°

where Pi is the partial pressure of component i in the solution, Pi ° is the vapor pressure of component i pure and xi is the mole fraction of component i in the liquid phase.

In a solution, once the components have reached chemical equilibrium, the total vapor pressure is:

Psolution=P1 + P2=x1*P1° +x2*P2°

In this case:

Psolution= xpentane*Ppentane° +xhexane*Phexane°

Being:

  • Psolution= 258 torr
  • xpentane + xhexane=1 ⇒ xpentane= 1 - xhexane
  • Ppentane°=  425 torr
  • xhexane= ?
  • Phexane°= 151 torr

and replacing:

258 torr= (1-xhexane)* 425 torr + xhexane* 151 torr

you get:

258 torr= 425 torr - 425 torr*xhexane + xhexane* 151 torr

258 torr - 425 torr= - 425 torr*xhexane + xhexane* 151 torr

-167 torr= -274 torr*xhexane

xhexane=\frac{-167 torr}{-274 torr}

xhexane= 0.61

<u><em>The mole fraction of hexane is 0.61</em></u>

Answer:

Number of moles of photons required = 5.04 × 10⁴ moles

Explanation:

The energy of a photon can be calculated from Planck's equation E = hc/λ

Where h = 6.63 × 10-³⁴ Js and c, the velocity of light = 3.0 × 10⁸ m/s

Energy of one mole of photons = N₀ × hc/λ

wavelength of photon, λ = 520 nm = 5.20 × 10-⁷ m

Energy of one mole of photons = 6.02 × 10²³ × 6.63 × 10−³⁴ × 3 × 10⁸/5.20 × 10-⁷

Energy of one mole of photons = 2.30 × 10⁵ J/mol

Energy required to raise the temperature of a given mass of a substance, E = mcΔT

Where m is mass of substance,  c is specific heat capacity,  ΔT is temperature difference

Mass ofnwternin the pool = volume × density

Volume of water = Volume of swimming pool

Volume of water = 16 × 34 × 6 ft³ = 3264 ft³

1 ft³ = 28316.8 cm³; 3264 ft³ = 28316.8 × 3264 = 92426035.2 cm³

Density of water = 1 g/cm³

Mass of water = 92426035.2 cm³ × 1 g/cm³ = 92426035.2g

ΔT = 80°C - 50°C = 30°C, c = 4.18 J/g/K

Energy required to raise 92426035.2 g water by 30° C = 92426035.2 × 4.18 × 30

Energy required = 1.16 × 10¹⁰ J

Hence, number of moles of photons required = 1.16 × 10¹⁰ J/2.30 × 10⁵ J/mol

Number of moles of photons required = 5.04 × 10⁴ moles

The elements in a row of the the periodic table​
Aleks [24]

Answer:

<em><u>Rows in the periodic table are called periods</u></em>. As one moves from left to right in a given period, the chemical properties of the elements slowly change. <em><u>Columns in the periodic table are called groups</u></em>. Elements in a given group in the periodic table share many similar chemical and physical properties

Whats a particle of electormagnetic radiation
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

<em>Scientists have observed that electromagnetic radiation has a dual "personality." Besides acting like waves, it acts like a stream of particles (called "photons") that have no mass. The photons with the highest energy correspond to the shortest wavelengths.</em>
