AI Thread Summary
To calculate the molecular mass of gas mixtures involving Helium (He), monomethylhydrazine (MMH), and dinitrogen tetroxide (MON), the weighted average method is recommended. The molecular masses are 4 g/mol for He, 46 g/mol for MMH, and 92 g/mol for MON. The average molecular mass is essential for accurate computations, particularly when determining properties that scale with molar mass. For the specific problem of mixing 0.5 L of He and 0.5 L of Argon (Ar), the density of the mixture can be calculated using the ideal gas law, factoring in the individual contributions of each gas based on their respective molar masses and the total volume. This approach ensures accurate results for density, which is crucial in various applications involving gas mixtures.

Dear all

I have a case. I have two tanks, one is filled with Helium gas and monomethylhydrazine(MMH) and another tank with Helium gas and Dinitrogentetraoxide(MON). Both tanks are at 47degC so they are in gaseous form.

I want to know what will be the Molecular Mass of the gas. The molecular mass of He=4 g/mol,MMH=46 g/mol and MON=92 g/mol.

So can anyone tell me what will be the molecular mass i should use for computations for (He+MMH, He+MON and He+MMH+MON)

Thanks

For some applications you can use weighted average - but calculation requires knowing composition of the mixtures.
 
But why to take the average and why not the sum of all three?
 
Because some properties scale as the average of the molar mass.

Solve this problem: you mix 0.5 L He and 0.5 L Ar. What is the density of the mixture?
 

Thread 'Why does having 8 valence electrons make an element inert?'

I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!

Thread 'Solubility of MgSO47H2O in water'

It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...
