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>
Democritus was the first to propose the idea of the atom. He said the atom was just this tiny, solid sphere. However, he used no scientific evidence to support his claim, so a guy named John Dalton did some experimenting and basically backed up Democritus' claim with evidence. Then, a guy named J.J. Thompson came along and said the atom was not solid and that is consisted of tiny negatively charged particles(electrons) and he came up with the Plum Pudding model which is just a tiny sphere with a punch of random scattered dots in it. After that, Ernest Rutherford did experiments and found that the tiny sphere is made up of mostly empty space with a tiny, dense, positively charged sphere inside of it, and the negatively charged particles just randomly float around it. Neils Bohr then said that the electrons take specific, circular, evenly spaced paths. Then, finally, we come to the Quantum Mechanical Model which is the one accepted today. This model basically vetos Bohr's idea and has a nucleus inside of an electron cloud, which is where the electrons are found.
a method of procedure that has characterized natural science since the 17th century, consisting in systematic observation, measurement, and experiment, and the formulation, testing, and modification of hypotheses.
