What pressure, in atmospheres, is exerted on the body of a diver if he is 38 ft below the surface of the water when atmospheric

pressure at the surface is 750 mmHg ? Assume that the density of the water is 1.00g/cm3=1.00×103kg/m3. The gravitational constant is 9.81m/s2, and 1Pa=1kg/m−s2.
Express your answer using two significant figures.

The pressure of diver = atmospheric pressure + water pressure

atmospheric pressure = 750 mmHg (as given) = 750 / 760 atm = 0.987 atm

Water pressure is

P = hρg

where

h = height of water = 38 ft

1 ft = 0.3048

38 ft = 11.58 m

ρ = density  = 1000 Kg / m³

g = gravitational constant  = 9.81 m/s2

P = 11.58 X 1000 X 9.81 = 113599.8 Kg / m s^2 Or N /m^2

1 N / m^2 = 1 pa = 9.869 X 10^-6 atm

P = 113599.8 Pa = 1.12 atm

Total pressure = 1.12 + 0.987 atm = 2.107 atm = 2.1 atm (two significant figures)

A sample of ideal gas is in a sealed container. The pressure of the gas is 485 torr , and the temperature is 40 ∘C . If the temp
Fantom [35]

Answer:

537.68 torr.

Explanation:

  • We can use the general law of ideal gas:<em> PV = nRT.</em>

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.

V is the volume of the gas in L.

n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.

R is the general gas constant,

T is the temperature of the gas in K.

  • If n and V are constant, and have different values of P and T:

<em>(P₁T₂) = (P₂T₁).</em>

P₁ = 485 torr, T₁ = 40°C + 273 = 313 K,

P₂ = ??? torr, ​T₂ = 74°C + 273 = 347 K.

∴ P₂ = (P₁T₂)/(P₁) = (485 torr)(347 K)/(313 K) = 537.68 torr.

A vessel contains a mixture of gases. The mass of each gas used to make the mixture is known. Which of the following information
faltersainse [42]

Answer: The molar mass of each gas

Explanation:

Mole fraction is the ratio of moles of that component to the total moles of solution. Moles of solute is the ratio of given mass to the molar mass.

\text{Mole fraction of solute}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Total Moles}}

Suppose if there are three gases A, B and C.

a) \text{Mole fraction of A}=\frac{\text{Moles of A}}{\text{ Moles of (A+B+C)}}

b) \text{Mole fraction of B}=\frac{\text{Moles of B}}{\text{ Moles of (A+B+C)}}

c) \text{Mole fraction of C}=\frac{\text{Moles of C}}{\text{ Moles of (A+B+C)}}

moles of solute =\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}

Thus if mass of each gas is known , we must know the molar mass of each gas to know the moles of each gas.

What is the balance equation for copper metal and aqueous zinc nitrate
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

No reaction

Explanation:

Single-displacement reaction is the chemical reaction in which one metal which has higher negative redox potential replaces the another from it's salt solution.

Thus, Cu cannot replaces zine from its salt as it is less reactive than zince.

However, zinc can replace copper from its salt as:

Zn_{(s)}+Cu(NO_3)_2_{(aq)}\rightarrow Cu_{(s)}+Zn(NO_3)_2_{(aq)}
