Answer:

21.16 MPa

Explanation:

Partial pressure of oxygen = 5.62 MPa

Total gas pressure = 26.78 MPa

But

Total pressure of the gas= sum of partial pressures of all the constituent gases in the system.

This implies that;

Total pressure of the system = partial pressure of nitrogen + partial pressure of oxygen

Hence partial pressure of nitrogen=

Total pressure of the system - partial pressure of oxygen

Therefore;

Partial pressure of nitrogen= 26.78 - 5.62

Partial pressure of nitrogen = 21.16 MPa

Answer:

The partial pressure of Nitrogen gas in the tank = 21.16 MPa.

Explanation:

According to Dalton's Law of partial pressure for gases, the total pressure of a mixture of gas under unchanging conditions is a sum of the partial pressures of each of the individual constituent gas.

The mixture consists of Nitrogen and oxygen gas. Hence, mathematically,

Total Pressure of the mixture = (Partial Pressure of Oxygen gas) + (Partial Pressure of Nitrogen gas)

Total Pressure of the mixture = 26.78 MPa.

Partial Pressure of Oxygen gas = 5.62 MPa.

Partial Pressure of Nitrogen gas = ?

26.78 = 5.62 + (Partial Pressure of Nitrogen gas)

Partial Pressure of Nitrogen gas = 26.78 - 5.62 = 21.16 MPa.

Hope this Helps!!!

Time taken for star to reach Earth = 7.5 years

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

7.5 light years(distance Earth-star)

Required

Time taken

Solution

Speed of light=v = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

1 light years = 9.461 × 10¹⁵ m= distance(d)

So time taken for 1 light years :

time(t) = distance(d) : speed(v)

t = 9.461 × 10¹⁵ m : 3 x 10⁸ m/s

t = 3.154 x 10⁷ s = 1 years

So for 7.5 light years, time taken = 7.5 years

Fed [463]

Answer:

The correct order it b. always add acid last.

Explanation:

Adding acid first could result on a violent reaction and heat or fumes can be generated. The best approach is to always add all the water or non-acid component first, or add a significant portion before adding the acid slowly to the mixture.
