1. A container holds four times as many moles of CO2 as O2. If the total pressure in the container is 20. atm,

what is the pressure exerted by carbon dioxide?

T

-

atm

Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Partial pressure of CO2 = 16 atm

Explanation:

Total number of moles of gases = 4+1 = 5 moles

Mole fraction of CO2 = 4/5

Partial pressure of CO2 = mole fraction of CO2 × total pressure

Partial pressure of CO2 = (4/5) × 20

Partial pressure of CO2 = 16 atm

out of these options:

ability to burn paper

pure sodium reacting violently with water

the boiling point of water

helium does not tend to react with anything

i would say this is a physical property:

helium does not tend to react with anything

why? :

i said helium does not tend to react with anything because well, it reacts to ! but ability to burn paper, pure sodium reacting violently with water, & the boiling point of water are chemical or

physical properties: the properties of a substance that can be observed without changing the chemical makeup of the substance

chemical properties: properties of a substance relating to the chemical nature and reactivity of the substance
