Question
1. If equal masses of C2H2, C2H4, and C3H6 are placed in a flask, which of the following is true?
a) Partial pressure of C3H6 is greater than that of C2H4, which is greater than that of C2H2.
b) Partial pressure of C2H4 is greater than that of C2H2, which is greater than that of C3H6.
c) They each have the same partial pressure.
d) Partial pressure of C2H2 is greater than that of C2H4, which is greater than that of C3H6.
 
2. You have a sample of hydrogen gas containing H2 and D2 (Deuterium) that you want to separate into pure components. What is the relative rate of diffusion of H2 to D2 (ratio between rate of H2 to rate of D2)? (H = 1.008 g/mol; D = 2.016 g/mol)
 
3. A 4.500-g sample containing sodium carbonate (105.99 g/mol) and other impurities is titrated with 0.15 M HCl solution. The initial buret reading is 2.34 mL. The final buret reading is 37.85 mL when the titration reaches the end point. Assuming sodium carbonate is the only component in the sample that reacts with HCl, what is the percent by mass of sodium carbonate in the sample? Na2CO3 + 2HCl --> 2NaCl + H2O + CO2
 
Expert Solution
Step 1

In same amounts of gaseous mixtures with increasing of molecular mass of a gas decreases it's parial pressure.

Molar mass order C3H6 > C2H4 > C2H2

Therefore partial pressure decreases in reverse order of molar masses.
