assume air sample is 78%N2 and 21%O2 how many units g/mol of the 0.316 g of air

Homework Answers

Answer #1

100 g air contains 78 g N2 and 21 g O2.

Hence

Mass of  N2 in 0.316 g air = (0.316 g x 78) / 100 = 0.2465 g

Mass of O2 in 0.316 g air = (0.316 g x 21) / 100 = 0.0664 g

Molarmass of  N2 =28 g/mol

No. of moles of N2 =  0.2465 g/28 g/mol = 8.80 x 10-3 mol

Molarmass of O2 =32 g/mol

No. of moles of O2 =   0.0664 g/32 g/mol = 2.08 x 10-3 mol

Total no. of moles in 0.316 g air = 8.80 x 10-3 mol + 2.08 x 10-3 mol = 10.88 x 10-3 mol

No. of moles = mass in grams / Molarmass

So molar mass of 0.316 g air = mass in grams / No. of moles = 0.316 g / 10.88 x 10-3 mol = 0.0290 x 103

= 29.0 g/mol

A permeation membrane separates an inlet air stream, F, (79 mol% N2, 21 mol% O2), into a permeate stream, M, and a reject stream, J. The inlet stream conditions are 293 K, 0.5 MPa, and 2 mol/min; the conditions for both outlet streams are 293 K and 0.1 MPa. If the permeate stream is 50 mol% O2, and the reject stream is 13 mol% O2, what are the volu-metric flowrates (L/min) of the two outlet streams? Can someone answer this...
