Here's a breakdown of the concepts behind the multiple-choice questions, along with the answers:
A) 0.60 atm
- Concept: Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures. P{total} = P1 + P2 + … + Pn. The partial pressure of a gas is also proportional to its mole fraction in the mixture: Pi = Xi * P{total}, where Xi is the mole fraction of gas i.
- Solution:
- Total moles = 0.32 mol (He) + 0.56 mol (Ne) = 0.88 mol
- Mole fraction of Ne, X_{Ne} = 0.56 mol / 0.88 mol ≈ 0.636
- P_{Ne} = 0.636 * 0.95 atm ≈ 0.60 atm
B) CH4
- Concept: Graham's Law of Effusion. The rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass. Lighter gases effuse faster.
- Solution:
- NH3 (17 g/mol), CH4 (16 g/mol), Ar (40 g/mol), HCl (36.5 g/mol)
- CH4 has the lowest molar mass, so it will effuse the fastest.
D) krypton
- Concept: Ideal Gas Law Deviations. Real gases deviate from ideal behavior at high pressures and low temperatures. Larger, more complex molecules with greater intermolecular forces deviate more.
- Solution:
- Larger noble gases have stronger London dispersion forces, leading to greater deviations. Krypton is the largest among the options.
C) the condensed
- Concept: Phases of Matter. Liquids and solids are condensed phases because their particles are close together compared to gases.
- Solution:
- Liquids and solids have high densities and low compressibility due to close intermolecular distances.
A) dispersion
- Concept: Intermolecular Forces. CBr4 is a nonpolar molecule, so the predominant force is London dispersion forces.
- Solution:
- CBr4 is symmetrical, so the individual bond dipoles cancel out, making the molecule nonpolar.
A) H2O
- Concept: Boiling Point and Intermolecular Forces. Higher intermolecular forces lead to higher boiling points.
- Solution:
- H2O can form hydrogen bonds, which are stronger than the dipole-dipole forces in CO2 and Kr and the dispersion forces in CH4.
C) Ne
- Concept: Boiling Point and Intermolecular Forces. For noble gases, boiling point increases with increasing atomic size due to stronger London dispersion forces.
- Solution:
- Ne < Ar < Kr < Xe in terms of size and thus boiling point.
B) dipole-dipole
- Concept: Intermolecular Forces. HBr is a polar molecule, so the predominant force is dipole-dipole.
- Solution:
- HBr has a significant difference in electronegativity between H and Br, creating a dipole moment.
A) 0.18 atm
- Concept: Dalton's Law and Unit Conversions. Convert torr to atm, then subtract the partial pressure of N2 to find the partial pressure of O2.
- Solution:
- Total pressure in atm: 730 torr / 760 torr/atm ≈ 0.96 atm
- P{O2} = P{total} - P_{N2} = 0.96 atm - 0.78 atm = 0.18 atm
Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures in Depth:
Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures states that in a mixture of non-reacting gases, the total pressure exerted is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases. The partial pressure of a gas is the pressure that the gas would exert if it occupied the same volume alone.
Mathematically, this is expressed as:
P{total} = P1 + P2 + P3 + … + P_n
Where:
- P_{total} is the total pressure of the gas mixture.
- P1, P2, P3, …, Pn are the partial pressures of the individual gases in the mixture.
Key Points:
- Ideal Gas Behavior: Dalton's Law assumes that the gases in the mixture behave ideally, meaning there are no significant intermolecular interactions between the gas molecules.
- Non-reacting Gases: The gases in the mixture should not chemically react with each other. If a reaction occurs, the law is not applicable without adjustments.
- Mole Fraction: The partial pressure of a gas in a mixture is related to its mole fraction. The mole fraction Xi of a gas i in a mixture is given by:
Xi = \frac{ni}{n{total}}
Where:
- n_i is the number of moles of gas i.
- n_{total} is the total number of moles of gas in the mixture.
The partial pressure of gas i can then be calculated as:
Pi = Xi * P_{total}
Applications:
- Calculating Total Pressure: If you know the partial pressures of all gases in a mixture,
