At an atmospheric pressure of 870 mm hg of 21% oxygen, the partial pressure of oxygen is

1 answer:

7 0

Atmosphere is made of a mixture of gases. Each individual gas exerts a pressure known as the partial pressure.
The sum of the partial pressures exerted by each gas in the mixture is equal to the total pressure exerted by the mixture of gases as a whole.
The partial pressure depends on the composition of the gas in the mixture.
In this case the total pressure - 870 mmHg
21% of atmosphere is oxygen
partial pressure of Oxygen = 870 mmHg x 21% = 182.7 mmHg

The image formed by a lens may be real or virtual. The image formed by a lens is always virtual.

amid [387]

There are types of lens; concave and convex lens.
The concave lens is a lens which has an inward curve in the middle, that is, the edges of the curve are thicker than the center of the lens, because of this, any light that enter the lens will spread out [diverge]. An image will look smaller and upright when viewed by a concave lens. Image formed by concave lens are usually VIRTUAL.
A concave lens will produce a real image ONLY if the object is located beyond the focal point of the lens.
A convex lens is a converging lens, this is because, the center of the lens is thicker than its edges. Any ray of light that passes through the lens will converge at the middle of the lens at point called principal focus. A convex lens produce a VIRTUAL image when the object is placed infront of the focal point. The virtual image formed is always magnified and upright.<span />

A sample of oxygen gas occupies a volume of 250 mL at .8 atm of pressure. What volume will it occupy at 1.2 atm of pressure?

musickatia [10]

167 mL

P1V1 = P2V2
P1 = .8 atm
V1 = 250 mL
P2 = 1.2 atm

Solve for V2 —> V2 = P1V1/P2

V2 = (0.8 atm)(250 mL) / (1.2 atm) = 167 mL

Determine the theoretical yield of HCl if 60.0 g of BC13 and 37.5 g of H20 are reacted according to the following balanced react

Pie

Answer : The theoretical yield of HCl is, 56.1735 grams

Explanation : Given,

Mass of $BCl_3$ = 60 g

Mass of $H_2O$ = 37.5 g

Molar mass of $BCl_3$ = 117 g/mole

Molar mass of $H_2O$ = 18 g/mole

Molar mass of $HCl$ = 36.5 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of $BCl_3$ and $H_2O$ .

$\text{Moles of }BCl_3=\frac{\text{Mass of }BCl_3}{\text{Molar mass of }BCl_3}=\frac{60g}{117g/mole}=0.513moles$

$\text{Moles of }H_2O=\frac{\text{Mass of }H_2O}{\text{Molar mass of }H_2O}=\frac{37.5g}{18g/mole}=2.083moles$

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$BCl_3(g)+3H_2O(l)\rightarrow H_3BO_3(s)+3HCl(g)$

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 1 mole of $BCl_3$ react with 3 mole of $H_2O$

So, 0.513 moles of $BCl_3$ react with $3\times 0.513=1.539$ moles of $H_2O$

From this we conclude that, $H_2O$ is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and $BCl_3$ is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Now we have to calculate the moles of $HCl$ .

As, 1 mole of $BCl_3$ react to give 3 moles of $HCl$

So, 0.513 moles of $BCl_3$ react to give $3\times 0.513=1.539$ moles of $HCl$

Now we have to calculate the mass of $HCl$ .

$\text{Mass of }HCl=\text{Moles of }HCl\times \text{Molar mass of }HCl$

$\text{Mass of }HCl=(1.539mole)\times (36.5g/mole)=56.1735g$

Therefore, the theoretical yield of HCl is, 56.1735 grams

Protozoan infection is not likely to be transmitted by:

anygoal [31]

Hi!

The answer is breathing.

Protozoans are organisms that can multiply themselves in humans, and serious infections can develop from one organism. The most frequently transmission methods are contaminated food or fecal contact. Dog bites inoculate bacteria into deep tissue, and they also serve as a transmission method.

Breathing is not considered to be likely to transmit protozoan infection because protozoans rarely develop in the respiratory tract.
