A mixture of nitrogen and xenon gases, at a total pressure of 836 mm Hg, contains 2.80 grams of nitrogen and 24.9 grams of xenon

larisa86 [58]

Answer: Partial pressure of nitrogen and xenon are 288mmHg and 548 mmHg respectively.

Explanation:

The partial pressure of a gas is given by Raoult's law, which is:

$p_A=p_T\times \chi_A$

where,

$p_A$ = partial pressure of substance A

$p_T$ = total pressure

$\chi_A$ = mole fraction of substance A

We are given:

$m_{N_2}=2.80g$

$m_{Xe}=24.9g$

Mole fraction of a substance is given by:

$\chi_A=\frac{n_A}{n_A+n_B}$

And,

$n_A=\frac{m_A}{M_A}$

Mole fraction of nitrogen is given as:

$\chi_{N_2}=\frac{\frac{m_{N_2}}{M_{N_2}}}{(\frac{m_{N_2}}{M_{N_2}}+\frac{m_{Xe}}{M_{Xe}})}$

Molar mass of $N_2$ = 28 g/mol

Molar mass of $Xe$ = g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\chi_{N_2}=\frac{\frac{2.80}{28}}{\frac{2.80}{28}+\frac{24.9}{131}}$

$\chi_{N_2}=\frac{0.100}{0.100+0.190}=0.345$

To calculate the mole fraction of xenon, we use the equation:

$\chi_{Xe}+\chi_{N_2}=1\\\\\chi_{Xe}=1-0.345=0.655$

$p_{N_2}=836mmHg\times 0.345=288mmHg$

$p_{Xe}=836mmHg\times 0.655=548mmHg$

Thus partial pressure of nitrogen and xenon are 288mmHg and 548 mmHg respectively.

The auto in the sketch moves forward as the brakes are applied. A bystander says that during the interval of braking, the auto's

Ivan

Answer:

The statement is true: velocity and acceleration have opposite directions in the interval of braking.

Explanation:

Let's say we have a velocity $v>0$ .

The acceleration $a$ is the rate of change of the velocity $v$ . This means that if $v$ is <em>increasing during</em> time, then $a$ must be positive. But if $v$ is <em>decreasing over</em> time, then $a$ will be negative (even though the velocity is positive).

Mathematically:

$a=\frac{dv}{dt}$

$v$ decreases ⇒ $\frac{dv}{dt}$

⇒ $a$ .

Example:

$v(t)=e^{-t}>0 \\\\\frac{dv}{dt}=-te^{-t}$

A 41 kg girl and a 5.0 kg sled are on the frictionless ice of a frozen lake, 15 m apart but connected by a rope of negligible ma

goldfiish [28.3K]

(a) 0.8 m/s^2

The force exerted on the sled is F = 4.0 N. We can calculate the acceleration of the sled by using Newton's second law:

$F=ma$

where

m = 5.0 kg is the mass of the sled

a is the acceleration of the sled

Solving the equation for a, we find:

$a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{4.0 N}{5.0 kg}=0.8 m/s^2$

(b) 0.098 m/s^2

According to Newton's third law (action-reaction law), since the girl exerts a force on the sled, then the sled exerts an equal and opposite force on the girl as well. This means that the force exerted on the girl is also F = 4.0 N. As before, we can calculate the acceleration of the girl by using Newton's second law:

$F=ma$

where

m = 41 kg is the mass of the girl

a is the acceleration of the girl

Solving the equation for a, we find:

$a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{4.0 N}{41 kg}=0.098 m/s^2$

(c) 5.8 s

Taking the initial position of the girl as x = 0, the position at time t of the girl is given by:

$x(t)=\frac{1}{2}a_g t^2$

where $a_g = 0.098 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of the girl.

The sled starts instead its motion from x = 15 m, so its position at time t is given by

$x'(t)=15-\frac{1}{2}a_s t^2$

where $a_s=0.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of the sled, and the negative sign is due to the fact that the sled accelerates in opposite direction to the girl's acceleration.

The girl and the sled meet when x(t) = x'(t). So, we find:

$\frac{1}{2}a_g t^2=15-\frac{1}{2}a_s t^2\\(a_g+a_s) t^2=30 m\\t=\sqrt{\frac{30 m}{a_g+a_s}}=\sqrt{\frac{30 m}{0.8 m/s^2+0.098 m/s^2}}=5.8 s$
