Answer

given,

For helium

Volume,V = 46 L

Pressure,P = 1 atm

Temperature,T = 25°C  =  273 +25 = 298 K

R=0.0821 L . atm /mole.K

n₁ = ?

number of moles

we know

P V = n R T

n_1 =\dfrac{46 \times 1}{0.0821\times 298}

  n₁ = 1.89 moles

For oxygen

Volume,V = 12 L

Pressure,P = 1 atm

Temperature,T = 25°C  =  273 +25 = 298 K

R=0.0821 L . atm /mole.K

n₂ = ?

number of moles

we know

P V = n R T

n_2 =\dfrac{12 \times 1}{0.0821\times 298}

  n₂ = 0.49 moles

Total volume of tank = 5 L

temperature of tank = 298 K

Partial pressure of helium

P_1=\dfrac{n_1 R T}{V}

P_1=\dfrac{1.89\times 0.0821\times 298}{5}

     P₁ = 9.25 atm

Partial pressure of oxygen

P_2=\dfrac{n_2 R T}{V}

P_2=\dfrac{0.49\times 0.0821\times 298}{5}

    P₂ = 2.39 atm

total pressure

    P = P₁ + P₂

    P = 9.25 + 2.39

    P = 11.64 atm

for example

1. drinking water at least after 1 hour beacuse if we immediately drink water just after meal it dilutes the HCL produced in our stomach which hinders the digestion process

2.picking up tomatoes for salads which contains oxalic acid

3.Cutting apples which contains malic acid with knife then after sometimes it will trun into brown due to oxidation of iron present in a apple.

A small airplane has to reach a speed if 27.8 m/s to takeoff. It can accelerate at 2.00 m/s^2. What is the minimal length of run
pickupchik [31]
Using the constant acceleration formula v^2 = u^2 + 2as, we can figure out that it would take a distance of 193.21m to reach 27.8m/s
