Determine the total pressure of a mixture that contains 5.25 g of He and 3.25 g of N2 in a 7.75-L flask at a temperature of 27ºC.

4.54 atm

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the total number of gaseous moles

We will calculate the moles of each gas using its molar mass.

He: 5.25 g × 1 mol/4.00 g = 1.31 mol

N₂: 3.25 g × 1 mol/28.01 g = 0.116 mol

The total number of moles is:

n = 1.31 mol + 0.116 mol = 1.43 mol

Step 2: Convert 27 °C to Kelvin

We will use the following expression.

K = °C + 273.15 = 27 + 273.15 = 300 K

Step 3: Calculate the total pressure of the mixture

We will use the ideal gas equation.

P × V = n × R × T

P = n × R × T / V

P = 1.43 mol × (0.0821 atm.L/mol.K) × 300 K / 7.75 L = 4.54 atm

periodic trends is an atom that gets larger as the number of electronic shells increase, the radius of atoms increases as you go down a certain group in the periodic table of elements. in general, the size of an atom will decrease as you move from left to right of a certain period.
