Hey there!

The reason why <span>ocean currents move from the equator towards the poles are because the wind push the water's away from the equator and toward the poles, so pretty much, let's blame this on the wind, it's the wind's fault not ours. But yes, your correct answer to this question above would be of that the wind's push the water's away from the equator and to the poles.

Hope this helps you buddy!</span>

The solubility of nitrogen gas at 25 degrees C and 1 atm is 6.8 x 10^(-4) mol/L. If the partial pressure of nitrogen gas in air
Zolol [24]

Answer:

5.2 x 10⁻⁴ M.

Explanation:

  • The relationship between gas pressure and the  concentration of dissolved gas is given by  Henry’s law:

<em>P = kC</em>

where P is the partial pressure of the gaseous  solute above the solution.

k is a constant (Henry’s constant).

C is the concentration of the dissolved gas.

  • At two different pressures, there is two different concentrations of dissolved gases and is expressed in a relation as:

<em>P₁C₂ = P₂C₁,</em>

P₁ = 1.0 atm, C₁ = 6.8 x 10⁻⁴ mol/L.

P₂ = 0.76 atm, C₂ = ??? mol/L.

<em>∴ C₂ = (P₂C₁)/P₁ =</em> (0.76 atm)(6.8 x 10⁻⁴ mol/L)/(1.0 atm) = <em>5.168 x 10⁻⁴ mol/L ≅ 5.2 x 10⁻⁴ M.</em>

What pressure, in atm, would be exerted by 0.023 grams of oxygen (O2) if it occupies 31.6 mL at 91
Vikentia [17]

Answer:  A pressure of 0.681 atm would be exerted by 0.023 grams of oxygen (O_2) if it occupies 31.6 mL at 91^{o}C.

Explanation:

Given : Mass of oxygen = 0.023 g

Volume = 31.6 mL

Convert mL into L as follows.

1 mL = 0.001 L\\31.6 mL = 31.6 mL \times \frac{0.001 L}{1 mL}\\= 0.0316 L

Temperature = 91^{o}C = (91 + 273) K = 364 K

As molar mass of O_2 is 32 g/mol. Hence, the number of moles of O_2 are calculated as follows.

No. of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\\= \frac{0.023 g}{32 g/mol}\\= 0.00072 mol

Using the ideal gas equation calculate the pressure exerted by given gas as follows.

PV = nRT

where,

P = pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L atm/mol K

T = temperature

Substitute the value into above formula as follows.

PV = nRT\\P  \times 0.0316 L = 0.00072 mol \times 0.0821 L atm/mol K \times 364 K\\P = \frac{0.00072 mol \times 0.0821 L atm/mol K \times 364 K}{0.0316 L}\\= 0.681 atm

Thus, we can conclude that a pressure of 0.681 atm would be exerted by 0.023 grams of oxygen (O_2) if it occupies 31.6 mL at 91^{o}C.
