For scuba dives below 150 ft, helium is often used to replace nitrogen in the scuba tank. If 15.2 g of He(g) and 30.6 g of O2(g)

are added to a previously evacuated 5.00 L tank at 22° C, calculate the partial pressure of each gas present as well as the total pressure in the tank.

Answer:

see explanation below

Explanation:

To do this exercise, we need to use the following expression:

P = nRT/V

This is the equation for an ideal gas. so, we have the temperature of 22 °C, R is the gas constant which is 0.082 L atm / mol K, V is the volume in this case, 5 L, and n is the moles, which we do not have, but we can calculate it.

For the case of the oxygen (AW = 16 g/mol):

n = 30.6 / 32 = 0.956 moles

For the case of helium (AW = 4 g/mol)_

n = 15.2 / 4 = 3.8 moles

Now that we have the moles, let's calculate the pressures:

P1 = 0.956 * 0.082 * 295 / 5

P1 = 4.63 atm

P2 = 3.8 * 0.082 * 295 / 5

P2 = 18.38 atm

Finally the total pressure:

Pt = 4.63 + 18.38

Pt = 23.01 atm

Morant Bay is 33 km south of Port Antonio a pigeon can fly at a speed of 1.2 m s what is the displacement of morant bay from Por
valkas [14]

Answer:

33km due south

Explanation:

Morant Bay is 33km south of Port Antonio;

  Problem: displacement of Morant bay from Port Antonio;

Displacement is a vector quantity. It is the length of path between two position and the direction inclusive.

So, it has magnitude and must be specified with a direction.

  • Therefore, the displacement of Morant Bay from Port Antonio is 33km due south.

Before landing, the brakes and the tires of an airliner have a temperature of 15.0∘C. Upon landing, the 90.7 kg carbon fiber bra
Goryan [66]

Answer:

0.921 J/g degrees C

Explanation:

Recall that the First Law of Thermodynamics demands that the total internal energy of an isolated system must remain constant. Any amount of energy lost by the brakes must be gained by the tires (in the form of heat in this situation).  Therefore, heat given off by the brakes = −heat taken in by tires, or:

−qbrakes=qtires

The equation used to calculate the quantity of heat energy exchanged in this process is:

−qbrakes=−cbrakes mbrakes ΔTbrakes=ctires mtires ΔTtires=qtires

First we must convert the mass of the tires and the brakes from  kg to  g.

massbrakes=90.7 kg×1,000. g1 kg=9.07×104 g

masstires=123 kg×1,000. g1 kg=1.23×105 g

Next, substitute in known values and rearrange to solve for ctires. Note that the final temperature for both the tires and the brakes is 172∘C, the initial temperature of the brakes is 312∘C and the initial temperature of the tires is 15∘C.

−(1.400Jg∘C)(9.07×104 g)(172∘C−312∘C)=(ctires)(1.23×105 g)(172∘C−15∘C)

ctires=−(1.400 Jg∘C)(9.07×104 g)(−140∘C)(1.23×105 g)(157∘C)=17,777,200 J19311000 g∘C=0.9206Jg∘C

The answer should have three significant figures, so round to 0.921Jg∘C.

During a combustion reaction, 9.00 grams of oxygen reacted with 3.00 grams of CH4.
Monica [59]

Answer:

0.74 grams of methane

Explanation:

The balanced equation of the combustion reaction of methane with oxygen is:

  • CH₄ + 2 O₂ → CO₂ + 2 H₂O

it is clear that 1 mol of CH₄ reacts with 2 mol of O₂.

firstly, we need to calculate the number of moles of both

for CH₄:

number of moles = mass / molar mass = (3.00 g) /  (16.00 g/mol) = 0.1875 mol.

for O₂:

number of moles = mass / molar mass = (9.00 g) /  (32.00 g/mol) = 0.2812 mol.

  • it is clear that O₂ is the limiting reactant and methane will leftover.

using cross multiplication

1 mol of  CH₄ needs → 2 mol of O₂

???  mol of  CH₄  needs → 0.2812 mol of O₂

∴ the number of mol of CH₄ needed = (0.2812 * 1) / 2 = 0.1406 mol

so 0.14 mol will react and the remaining CH₄

mol of CH₄ left over = 0.1875 -0.1406 = 0.0469 mol

now we convert moles into grams

mass of CH₄ left over = no. of mol of CH₄ left over *  molar mass

                                    = 0.0469 mol * 16 g/mol = 0.7504 g

So, the right choice is 0.74 grams of methane

A sample of gas contains 6.25 × 10-3 mol in a 500.0 mL flask at 265°C. What is the pressure of the gas in kilopascals? Which var
RideAnS [48]

55.9 kPa; Variables given = volume (V), moles (n), temperature (T)

We must calculate <em>p</em> from <em>V, n</em>, and <em>T</em>, so we use <em>the Ideal Gas Law</em>:

<em>pV = nRT</em>

Solve for <em>p</em>: <em>p = nRT/V</em>

R = 8.314 kPa.L.K^(-1).mol^(-1)

<em>T</em> = (265 + 273.15) K = 538.15 K

<em>V</em> = 500.0 mL = 0.5000 L

∴ <em>p</em> = [6.25 x 10^(-3) mol x 8.314 kPa·L·K^(-1)·mol^(-1) x 538.15 K]/(0.5000 L) = 55.9 kPa
