Concept explainers
Interpretation:
This is to be explained why the measured properties of a mixture of gases depend only on the total number of moles of particles but not on the identity of individual gas particles.
Concept Introduction:
In an ideal gas, molecules are assumed to occupy negligible volume. This means the interaction between the molecule of gas is negligible in case of ideal gases.
Due to this there is no difference between substance as per the molecules of gas as far as behavior is concerned for the bulk amount. All the gas molecules independently behave and the overall amount of gas present in the system determined the overall propertied of the sample.
According to the Dalton’s law of partial pressures, if a mixture of gasses is present in a container, the total pressure exerted by gas molecules will be sum of the partial pressures of all the gases present in the container. Here, the partial pressure of a gas is defined as pressure exerted by a gas when it is considered alone in the container.

CaCO3(s)CaO(s)+CO2(g) 25 g of CaCO3 is heated, what mass of CO2would be produced? What volume would this quantity of CO2 (CU at STP?arrow_forwardYou have two distinct gaseous compounds made from element X and element Y. The mass percents are as follows: Compound I: 30.43% X, 69.57% Y Compound II: 63.64% X, 36.36% Y In their natural standard states, element X and element Y exist as gases. (Monatomic? Diatomic? Triatomic? That is for you to determine.) When you react gas X with gas Y to make the products, you get the following data (all at the same pressure and temperature): 1. volume gas X + 2 volumes gas Y2 volumes compound I 2. volumes gas X + 1 volume gas Y2 volumes compound II Assume the simplest possible formulas for reactants and products in the chemical equations above. Then, determine the relative atomic masses of element X and element Y.arrow_forward
- A power plant is driven by the combustion of a complex fossil fuel having the formula C11H7S. Assume the air supply is composed of only N2 and O2 with a molar ratio of 3.76:1.00, and the N2 remains unreacted. In addition to the water produced, the fuels C is completely combusted to CO2 and its sulfur content is converted to SO2. In order to evaluate gases emitted at the exhaust stacks for environmental regulation purposes, the nitrogen supplied with the air must also be included in the balanced reactions. a Including the N2 supplied m the air, write a balanced combustion equation for the complex fuel assuming 100% stoichiometric combustion (i.e., when there is no excess oxygen in the products and the only C-containing product is CO2). Except in the case of N2, use only integer coefficients. b Including N2 supplied in the air, write a balanced combustion equation for the complex fuel assuming 120% stoichiometric combustion (i.e., when excess oxygen is present in the products and the only C-containing product is CO2). Except in the case of use only integer coefficients c Calculate the minimum mass (in kg) of air required to completely combust 1700 kg of C11H7S. d Calculate the air/fuel mass ratio, assuming 100% stoichiometric combustion. e Calculate the air/fuel mass ratio, assuming 120% stoichiometric combustion.arrow_forwardMany cereals are made with high moisture content so that the cereal can be formed into various shapes before it is dried.

How do these postulates help us account for the following bulk properties of a gas: the pressure of the gas and why the pressure of the gas increases with increased temperature; the fact that a gas tills its entire container; and the fact that the volume of a given sample of gas increases as its temperature is increased.arrow_forward

When the mixture has come to equilibrium she determines that it contains 0.57 mol of ethylene gas and 9.27 mol of water vapor. 28 The engineer then adds another 0.43 mol of ethylene, and allows the mixture to come to equilibrium again. Calculate the moles of ethanol after equilibrium is reached the second time. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. 29 ? 00 E ▸ 000 Ar >arrow_forward
