The mole fraction of methanol in the mixture is 0.444

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole of water.

Mass of water = 45 g

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Mole of water =?

Mole = mass / molar mass

Mole of water = 45 / 18

Mole of water = 2.5 moles

Finally, we shall determine the mole fraction of methanol.

Mole of water = 2.5 moles

Mole of methanol = 2 moles

Total mole = 2 + 2.5 = 4.5 moles

Mole fraction of methanol =?

Mole fraction = mole / total mole

Mole fraction of methanol = 2 / 4.5

Mole fraction of methanol = 0.444

Thus, the mole fraction of methanol is 0.444

Natural gas is stored in a spherical tank at a temperature of 13°C. At a given initial time, the pressure in the tank is 117 kPa

drek231 [11]

Answer:

1. the absolute pressure in the tank before filling = 217 kPa

2. the absolute pressure in the tank after filling = 312 kPa

3. the ratio of the mass after filling M2 to that before filling M1 = 1.44

The correct relation is option c ( $\frac{M_{2} }{M_{1} } = \frac{P_{2} T_{1} }{P_{1} T_{2} }$ )

Explanation:

To find -

1. What is the absolute pressure in the tank before filling?

2. What is the absolute pressure in the tank after filling?

3. What is the ratio of the mass after filling M2 to that before filling M1 for this situation?

As we know that ,

Absolute pressure = Atmospheric pressure + Gage pressure

So,

Before filling the tank :

Given - Atmospheric pressure = 100 kPa , Gage pressure = 117 kPa

⇒Absolute pressure ( p1 ) = 100 + 117 = 217 kPa

Now,

After filling the tank :

Given - Atmospheric pressure = 100 kPa , Gage pressure = 212 kPa

⇒Absolute pressure (p2) = 100 + 212= 312 kPa

Now,

As given, volume is the same before and after filling,

i.e. $V_{1}$ = $V_{2}$

As we know that, P ∝ M

⇒ $\frac{p_{1} }{p_{2} } = \frac{m_{1} }{m_{2} }$

⇒ $\frac{m_{2} }{m_{1} } = \frac{p_{2} }{p_{1} }$

⇒ $\frac{m_{2} }{m_{1} } = \frac{312 }{217 } = 1.4378$ ≈ 1.44

Now, as we know that PV = nRT

As V is constant

⇒ P ∝ MT

⇒ $\frac{P}{T}$ ∝ M

⇒ $\frac{M_{2} }{M_{1} } = \frac{P_{2} T_{1} }{P_{1} T_{2} }$

So, The correct relation is c option.

How many valence electrons are in N2O? SeCl2? PBr3?

8090 [49]

Here is the answer for the three of them
N20 = 16 e-
SeCl2 =20
PBr3 = 26
Remember that to find the valence electrons in an atom you need to identify what group the element is in. An element in group 1A has 1 valence electron. If the element is in group 2A, then it has two valence electrons.

Calculate the mass percent composition of sulfur in Al2(SO4)3.

Anastaziya [24]

The molar mass of aluminum sulftae is 342.14 g/mol.

Since the subscript shows that there are 3 sulfurs within the substance, the total mass of sulfur is 96.21g/mol

Now take the mass of the sulfur and divide it by the molar mass of aluminum sulfate, then multiply by 100:
(96.21/342.15)(100) = 28.1% mass composition of sulfate
