The composition of dry air at sea level is 78.03% N2, 20.99% O2, and 0.033% CO2 by volume. (a) calculate the average molar mass

of this air sample (b) calculate the partial pressures of N2, O2, and CO2 in atm. (at constant temperature and pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles of the gas). Also what should be used for constant temperature and pressure?

Answer:

the average molar mass of this air sample can be calculated as

addition of the product of the average molar weights of the component gases and their percentage compositions

1. Average Molar mass of Air = 0.7803 x 28 + 0.2099 x 32 + 0.00033 x 44 = 28.58g/mol

2. The partial pressures of N2, O2, and CO2 in atm.

From Ideal gas law, at stp, Volume of air V=22.4L/mol

PV =nRT

Since, at constant temperature and pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles of the gas

Total Pressure P=1atm

Partial Pressure p = mol fraction x P

Volume of N2 = 0.7803 x 22.4L = 17.47L, Partial Pressure = 0.7803atm

Volume of O2 = 0.2099 x 22.4L = 4.68L Partial Pressure = 0.209atm

Volume of CO2 = 0.00033 x 22.4L = 0.00739L, Partial Pressure = 0.033atm

Cobalt-60 is produced by a three reaction process involving neutron capture, beta-emission, and neutron capture. The initial rea

Dima020 [189]

Answer : The correct option is, (C) $^{58}\textrm{Fe}$

Explanation :

Neutron capture : In this decay process, an atomic nucleus and one or more number of neutrons collide and combine to form a heavier nucleus. The mass number changes in this process.

The neutron capture equation is represented as,

$_Z^A\textrm{X}+_{0}^1\textrm{n}\rightarrow _{Z}^{A+1}\textrm{X}+\gamma$

(A is the atomic mass number and Z is the atomic number)

Beta emission or beta minus decay : It is a type of decay process, in which a neutrons gets converted to proton, an electron and anti-neutrino. In this the atomic mass number remains same.

The beta minus decay equation is represented as,

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^A\textrm{Y}+_{-1}^0e$

(A is the atomic mass number and Z is the atomic number)

As per question, the cobalt-60 is produced by a three reaction process involving neutron capture, beta-emission, and neutron capture.

Process 1 : Neutron capture.

$_{26}^{58}\textrm{Fe}+_{0}^1\textrm{n}\rightarrow _{26}^{59}\textrm{Fe}+\gamma$

Process 2 : Beta emission.

$_{26}^{59}\textrm{Fe}\rightarrow _{27}^{59}\textrm{Co}+_{-1}^0e$

Process 3 : Neutron capture.

$_{27}^{59}\textrm{Co}+_{0}^1\textrm{n}\rightarrow _{26}^{60}\textrm{Co}+\gamma$

From this we conclude that, the initial reactant in the production of cobalt-60 is $_{26}^{58}\textrm{Fe}$

Hence, the correct option is, (C) $^{58}\textrm{Fe}$

Element X reacts with element Y to give a product containing X3+ ions and Y2− ions.

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

X₂Y₃

Explanation:

X⇒X³⁺ + 3e⁻ /×2

Y + 2e⁻ ⇒ Y²⁻ /×3

2X⇒2X³⁺ 6e⁻

3Y + 6e⁻⇒ 3Y²⁻

2X + 3Y ⇒2X³⁺ + 3Y²⁻ ⇒ X₂Y₃

Electron from one side and from other side can be shortened so we multiply half equations to get equivalent number of electrons on both side. Next step is summing these two half equations. Element Y takes two electrons from element X, so X become positive charged, and Y become negatively charged. It is very likely that element Y have greater electronegativity.

What does it mean when a mineral has a definite chemical composition?

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

For a substance to classify as a mineral, it must lie within certain parameters. It should be an inorganic solid, that is naturally occurring in nature (not synthesized), with an ordered internal structure and a definite chemical composition.

By definite chemical composition, geologists mean that the mineral must be have chemical constituents that have an unvarying chemical composition, or a chemical composition that oscillates withing a very limited and specific range.

An example is the mineral, halite. It has a chemical composition of one sodium atom and one chloride atom, represented as NaCl and is unchanging in this composition throughout nature.

Be sure to answer all parts. There are three different dichloroethylenes (molecular formula C2H2Cl2), which we can designate X,

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Explanation:Since the compound X has no net-dipole moment so we can ascertain that this compound is not associated with any polarity.

hence the compound must be overall non-polar. The net dipole moment of compound is zero means that the vector sum of individual dipoles are zero and hence the two individual bond dipoles associated with C-Cl bond must be oriented in the opposite directions with respect to each other.]

So we can propose that compound X must be trans alkene as only in trans compounds the individual bond dipoles cancel each other.

If one isomer of the alkene is trans then the other two isomers may be cis .

Since the two alkenes give the same molecular formula on hydrogenation which means they are quite similar and only slightly different.

The two possibility of cis structures are possible:

in the first way it is possible the one carbon has two chlorine substituents and the carbon has two hydrogens.

Or the other way could be that two chlorine atoms are present on the two carbon atoms in cis manner that is on the same side and two hydrogens are also present on the different carbon atoms in the same manner.
