AI Thread Summary
To calculate the mass percentage of N2H4 in hydrogen/nitrogen mixtures, it is essential to first determine the mole percentage, which was calculated as 25%. The ratio of product gases to reactants is 9/4, with N2H4 being 3/1 and NH3 at 2. A mass percentage of approximately 38% was initially reported, but this was later clarified as a misreading of the question. The correct interpretation likely pertains to mole percentages rather than mass. Accurate calculations depend on understanding the distinction between mass and mole percentages in gas mixtures.

Homework Statement
131.) A mixture of NH3( g) and N2H4( g) is placed in a sealed container at 300 K. The total pressure is 0.50 atm. The container is heated to 1200 K at which time both substances decompose completely according to the equations 2 NH3( g) = N2( g) + 3 H2( g); N2H4( g) = N2( g) + 2 H2( g). After decomposition is complete, the total pressure at 1200 K is found to be 4.5 atm. Find the percent of N2H4( g) in the original mixture. (Assume two significant figures for the temperature.)
Relevant Equations
PV=nRT
Pressure = P
Volume = V
moles = n
gas constant = r
temperature (kelvins) = T
So essentially you are supposed to find the mass percentage of N2H4 in the Hydrogen/Nitrogen mixtures. The way I understood it, the only way to find the mass percentage of the gasses is to find the mole percentage. Which I got as 25%, based on the fact that the ratio of product gasses to reactants is 9/4 where N2H4 is 3/1 and NH3 is 2.

I got a mass percentage of 38% ~ book says 25%

Never mind I missread the mass part. Maybe it did mean in moles, I think I misread and read part of another question.
 
I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
