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)

If I have 6 moles of a gas at a pressure of 5.8 atm and a volume of 12 liters, what
poizon [28]

The temperature of the system is 141.36K.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

According to the universal gas law, the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature and number of moles of the gas and inversely proportional to the volume of the gas.

So in equation format,

\frac{P\times V}{n\times T} =constant.

Or\frac{P\times V}{n\times T}= R.

Here R is called the universal gas constant which has different values in different units.

Here the unit of volume is in litres and unit of pressure is in atmosphere.

So. Value of R comes as =0.082057\frac{L\times atm} {K\times mole}.

So, according to the question,

P is 5.8atm, V is 12 litres and n is 6 moles.

So, 5.8\times12 = 6\times0.082057\times T.

Or, T = \frac{5.8\times12} {6\times0.082057}.

Or, T = 141.36.

So,the temperature of the system is 141.36K

What are the reactants and products of fermentation?
SVEN [57.7K]
The fermentation reaction is a biochemical reaction which involves a microorganism consuming a substrate (Carbon -source) and in order to produce several products such as alcohol, proteins, amino acids, biogas etc.

The most common reactant/substrate for a fermentation reaction is sugar, specifically glucose and the most common product is alcohol. If the fermentation process is aerobic in nature, then a oxygen is also required as reactant. By products include carbon dioxide, sulfur oxides etc.

When ethylbenzene is treated with NBS and irradiated with UV light, two stereoisomeric compounds are obtained in equal amounts.
Stells [14]

Answer: 1-Phenyl ethyl radical is formed as an intermediate in the reaction and since Phenyl ethyl radical has  a trigonal planar geometry so it is a planar molecule having two faces.  So Br radical radical can recombine  with the  two faces with equal probability  leading to a racemic mixture in 50:50ratio of products.Hence two products are formed which are known as enatiomers.

Explanation:

When we irradiate the ethylbenzene with UV light , it leads to homolytic cleavage and 1- Phenyl ethyl free radical is generated.

Phenyl ethyl free radical is generated because it is very stable as it is on a  secondary carbon center as well as on a benzylic position so it can be stabilized by the resonance as well as inductive effect at the secondary carbon center.

NBS(N-bromosuccinimide) is a source of bromine radical and provides bromine free radical.

Once the  1- Phenyl ethyl free radical is generated then bromine free radical can recombine with benzyl free radical leading to product formation.

Since  1- Phenyl ethyl free radical  has a trigonal planar geometry so it is a planar molecule which has two faces  and hence the radical recombination with bromine free radical can occur with either of the two faces available.

Kindly refer the attachments for structure as well as the mechanism of the reaction.

So two isomers which are enantiomers are produced  are obtained.
