Welding is an industrial process that is used to join pieces of metal. A certain mixture of gases used in welding is composed of carbon dioxide and argon. The partial pressure of carbon dioxide is 0.080 atm and the partial pressure of argon is 0.24 atm. What is the total pressure of the mixture?

What fraction of the molecules in the mixture are argon?

 0.32 atm

Explanation:

According to Dalton's law, the total pressure is the sum of individual pressures.

Given :  =total pressure of gases = ?

= partial pressure of carbon dioxide = 0.080 atm

= partial pressure of argon = 0.24 atm    

putting in the values we get:

Thus the total pressure of the gases is 0.32 atm

the enthalpy of formation of water is given as -285.8kj/mol, which states that the enthalpy of formation is negative.

negative enthalpy of formation indicates that the heat is released during the reaction process. the heat is released from reaction to the surroundings the enthalpy is expressed with a negative sign with the energy given out in the reaction process.

the formation of water takes place by giving out heat which is -285.8 kj/mol.

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
