The partial pressure of oxygen given the total barometric pressure is : 108.15 mmHg

<u>Given data : </u>

Total barometric pressure = 515 mmHg

Assuming oxygen percentage = 21%

Barometric pressure dry at 37°C

<h3 /><h3>Determine the partial pressure of oxygen </h3>

Applying the relation below

Partial pressure = oxygen percentage * Barometric pressure

= 21% * 515 mmHg

= 108.15 mmHg

Hence we can conclude that the partial pressure of oxygen is 108.15 mmHg.

If I have 7.5 L of a gas in a piston at a pressure of 1.75 atm and compress the gas until its volume is 3.7 L, what will the new

Sergio [31]

Answer:

3.55atm

Explanation:

We will apply Boyle's law formula in solving this problem.

P1V1 = P2V2

And with values given in the question

P1=initial pressure of gas = 1.75atm

V1=initial volume of gas =7.5L

P2=final pressure of gas inside new piston in atm

V2=final volume of gas = 3.7L

We need to find the final pressure

From the equation, P1V1 = P2V2,

We make P2 subject

P2 = (P1V1) / V2

P2 = (1.75×7.5)/3.7

P2=3.55atm

Therefore, the new pressure inside the piston is 3.55atm

What is the boiling point elevation constant, Kb, of diethyl ether if 38.2 g of the nonelectrolyte benzophenone, C6H5COC6H5, dis

kakasveta [241]

Answer: the boiling point elevation constant is $1.73^0C/m$

Explanation:

Elevation in boiling point is given by:

$\Delta T_b=i\times K_b\times m$

$\Delta T_b=T_b-T_b^0=$ = Elevation in boling point

i= vant hoff factor = 1 (for non electrolyte)

$K_b$ =boiling point constant = ?

m= molality

$\Delta T_b=i\times K_b\times \frac{\text{mass of solute}}{\text{molar mass of solute}\times \text{weight of solvent in kg}}$

Weight of solvent (diethylether)= 330 g = 0.33 kg

Molar mass of solute (benzophenone)= 182 g/mol

Mass of solute (benzophenone) = 38.2 g

$(35.7-34.6)^0C=1\times K_b\times \frac{38.2g}{182g/mol\times 0.33kg}$

$K_b=1.73^0C/m$

Thus the boiling point elevation constant is $1.73^0C/m$
