A mixture of h2 and n2 has a density of 0.216 at 300k and 500 torr. what is the mole fraction composition of the mixture

1 answer:

4 0

We know that:
number of moles (n) = mass / molar mass

Now, from the general law of gases:
PV = nRT
where:
P is the pressure = 500 torr = 0.65 atm
V is the volume
n is the number of moles
R is the gas constant = 0.082
T is the temperature = 300 k
We will just rearrange this equation as follows:
P = nRT / V
Then we will substitute n with its equivalent equation mentioned at the beginning:
P = (mass x R x T) / (volume x molar mass) ......> equation I
Now, we know that:
density = mass / volume
We will substitute (mass/volume) in equation I with density as follows:
P = (density x R x T) / molar mass
Rearrange this equation to get the mass as follows:
molar mass = dRT/P = (0.216 x 0.082 x 300) / 0.65 = 8.4738 grams

From the periodic table:
molecular mass of hydrogen = 1 grams
molecular mass of nitrogen = 14 grams
Therefore:
molar mass of hydrogen = 2 x 1 = 2 grams
molar mass of nitrogen = 2 x 14 = 28 grams

We can assume that the number of moles of of each element is y.
We can thus build up the following equation:
2y + 28y = 8.4738
30y = 8.4738
y = 0.28246

Therefore:
mole fraction of hydrogen = 2 x 0.28246 = 0.56492
mole fraction of nitrogen = 28 x 0.28246 = 7.90888

Which equation shows how wavelength is related to velocity and frequency?

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

The correct option is the option;

$\lambda = \dfrac{v}{f}$

Explanation:

The wavelength of a wave is the distance between two successive crests of the wave

Therefore, the wavelength, λ, is given by the fraction of the velocity, v, of the wave divided by the frequency, f, (the number of cycles that pass through a point) of the wave

Mathematically, we have;

$The \ wavelength, \ \lambda = \dfrac{The \ wave \ velocity, \ v}{The \ wave \ frequency, \ f}$

$\lambda = \dfrac{v}{f}$

The substances below are listed by increasing specific heat capacity value. Starting at 30.0 °C, they each absorb 100 kJ of ther

JulijaS [17]

The heat change is related to specific heat as

Heat change = mass of substance X specific heat X change in temperature

So if we are considering same amount of substance

and we are starting with the same temperature

the change in temperature will be inversely proportional to the specific heat

higher the specific heat lower the temperature change

Thus the change in temperature will be least for the substance with highest specific heat.

Which of the following occurs when a covalent bond forms? Which of the following occurs when a covalent bond forms? Partial char

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A covalent bond is defined as the bond which occurs due to sharing of electrons between the combining atoms.

Generally, a covalent bond is formed between non-metals.

For example, both nitrogen and oxygen atoms are non-metals and they combine covalently to form $NO_{2}$ compound.

As nitrogen has 5 valence electrons and an oxygen atom has 6 valence electrons. So, there occurs unequal sharing of electrons between the two.

Thus, we can conclude that when a covalent bond forms then electrons in valence shells are shared between atoms.

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

The atmosphere traps heat energy from the Sun and energy radiated from Earth's surface helping to maintain Earth's climate

Explanation:

Earth's atmosphere keeps much of the Sun's energy from escaping into space. This process, called the greenhouse effect, keeps the planet warm enough for life to exist. The atmosphere allows about half of the Sun's heat energy (50%) to reach Earth's surface.
