Answer:

Continuous

Explanation:

The reason behind the amount of sugar being 0.75 cups is continuous is that it is not countable and it is measurable. The continuous variable is the variable that is measurable and have no jumps while the discrete variable is countable and have jumps such that 0,1,2 etc. As we cannot count the 0.75 cups of the amount of sugar and we can measure this amount thus it is a continuous variable.

Gasoline is a mixture of hydrocarbons, a major component of which is octane, CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3. Octane has a vapor pressu

Nitella [24]

Answer:

$\Delta \:H_{vap}=40383.88\ J/mol$

Explanation:

The expression for Clausius-Clapeyron Equation is shown below as:

$\ln P = \dfrac{-\Delta{H_{vap}}}{RT} + c$

Where,

P is the vapor pressure

ΔHvap is the Enthalpy of Vaporization

R is the gas constant (8.314×10⁻³ kJ /mol K)

c is the constant.

For two situations and phases, the equation becomes:

$\ln \left( \dfrac{P_1}{P_2} \right) = \dfrac{\Delta H_{vap}}{R} \left( \dfrac{1}{T_2}- \dfrac{1}{T_1} \right)$

Given:

$P_1$ = 13.95 torr

$P_2$ = 144.78 torr

$T_1$ = 25°C

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15

So,

T = (25 + 273.15) K = 298.15 K

$T_1$ = 298.15 K

$T_2$ = 75°C = 348.15 K

So,

$\ln \:\left(\:\frac{13.95}{144.78}\right)\:=\:\frac{\Delta \:H_{vap}}{8.314}\:\left(\:\frac{1}{348.15}-\:\frac{1}{298.15}\:\right)$

$\Delta \:H_{vap}=\ln \left(\frac{13.95}{144.78}\right)\frac{8.314}{\left(\frac{1}{348.15}-\frac{1}{298.15}\right)}$

$\Delta \:H_{vap}=\frac{8.314}{\frac{1}{348.15}-\frac{1}{298.15}}\left(\ln \left(13.95\right)-\ln \left(144.78\right)\right)$

$\Delta \:H_{vap}=\left(-\frac{863000.86966\dots }{50}\right)\left(\ln \left(13.95\right)-\ln \left(144.78\right)\right)$

$\Delta \:H_{vap}=40383.88\ J/mol$

You have 49.8 g of O2 gas in a container with twice the volume as one with CO2 gas. The pressure and temperature of both contain

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

34.2 g is the mass of carbon dioxide gas one have in the container.

Explanation:

Moles of $O_2$ :-

Mass = 49.8 g

Molar mass of oxygen gas = 32 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$Moles= \frac{49.8\ g}{32\ g/mol}$

$Moles_{O_2}= 1.55625\ mol$

Since pressure and volume are constant, we can use the Avogadro's law as:-

$\frac {V_1}{n_1}=\frac {V_2}{n_2}$

Given ,

V₂ is twice the volume of V₁

V₂ = 2V₁

n₁ = ?

n₂ = 1.55625 mol

Using above equation as:

$\frac {V_1}{n_1}=\frac {V_2}{n_2}$

$\frac {V_1}{n_1}=\frac {2\times V_1}{1.55625}$

n₁ = 0.778125 moles

Moles of carbon dioxide = 0.778125 moles

Molar mass of $CO_2$ = 44.0 g/mol

Mass of $CO_2$ = Moles × Molar mass = 0.778125 × 44.0 g = 34.2 g

34.2 g is the mass of carbon dioxide gas one have in the container.

What is the fraction of the hydrogen atom's mass (11h) that is in the nucleus? the mass of proton is 1.007276 u, and the mass of

ololo11 [35]

Hello there!

To determine the fraction of the hydrogen atom's mass that is in the nucleus, we have to keep in mind that a Hydrogen atom has 1 proton and 1 electron. Protons are in the nucleus while electrons are in electron shells surrounding the nucleus. The mass of the nucleus will be equal to the mass of 1 proton and we can express the fraction as follows:

$Mass Fraction= \frac{mass 1 Proton}{mass H atom} = \frac{1,007276 u}{1,007825}=0,9995$

So, the fraction of the hydrogen atom's mass that is in the nucleus is 0,9995. That means that almost all the mass of this atom is at the nucleus.

Have a nice day!

495 cm3 of oxygen gas and 877 cm3 of nitrogen gas, both at 25.0 C and 114.7 kpa, are injected into an evacuated 536 cm3 flask. F

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

Total pressure of the flask is 2.8999 atm.

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of oxygen (O2) gas= 495 cm3

= 0.495 L (1 cm³ = 1 mL = 0.001 L)

Volume of nitrogen (N2) gas = 877 cm3

= 0.877 L (1 cm³ = 1 mL = 0.001 L)

volume of falsk = 536 cm3

= 0.536 L (1 cm³ = 1 mL = 0.001 L)

Temperature = 25 °C

T = (25°C + 273.15) K

= 298.15 K

Pressure = 114.7 kPa

= 114.700 Pa

Pressure (torr) = 114,700 / 101325

= 1.132 atm

Formula:

PV=nRT (ideal gas equation)

P = pressure

V = volume

R (gas constnt)= 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol

T = temperature

n = number of moles for both gases

Solution:

Firstly we will find the number of moles for oxygen and nitrogen gas.

For Oxygen:

n = PV / RT

n = 1.132 atm × 0.495 L / 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol × 298.15 K

= 0.560 / 24.47

= 0.0229 moles

For Nitrogen:

n = PV / RT

n = 1.132 atm × 0.877 / 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol × 298.15 K

n = 0.992 / 24.47

= 0.0406

Total moles = moles for oxygen gas + moles for nitrogen gas

= 0.0229 moles + 0.0406 moles

n = 0.0635 moles

Now put the values in formula

PV=nRT

P = nRT / V

P = 0.0635 × 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol × 298.15 K / 0.536 L

P = 1.554 / 0.536

P = 2.8999 atm

Total pressure in the flask is 2.8999 atm, while assuming the temperature constant.
