Protons = Atomic number
Protons + Neutrons = Mass Number
Protons = 20
Neutrons = Atomic number - Mass number
Neutrons = 82 - 20 = 62

A flask contains 6g hydrogen gas and 64 g oxygen at rtp the partial pressure of hydrogen gas in the flask of the total pressure
Alex

Answer:

B.3/5p

Explanation:

For this question, we have to remember <u>"Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures"</u>. This law says that the pressure of the mixture would be equal to the sum of the partial pressure of each gas.

Additionally, we have a <em>proportional relationship between moles and pressure</em>. In other words, more moles indicate more pressure and vice-versa.

P_i=P_t_o_t_a_l*X_i

Where:

P_i=Partial pressure

P_t_o_t_a_l=Total pressure

X_i=mole fraction

With this in mind, we can work with the moles of each compound if we want to analyze the pressure. With the molar mass of each compound we can calculate the moles:

<u>moles of hydrogen gas</u>

The molar mass of hydrogen gas (H_2) is 2 g/mol, so:

6g~H_2\frac{1~mol~H_2}{2~g~H_2}=~3~mol~H_2

<u>moles of oxygen gas</u>

The molar mass of oxygen gas (O_2) is 32 g/mol, so:

64g~H_2\frac{1~mol~H_2}{32~g~H_2}=~2~mol~O_2

Now, total moles are:

Total moles = 2 + 3 = 5

With this value, we can write the partial pressure expression for each gas:

P_H_2=\frac{3}{5}*P_t_o_t_a_l

P_O_2=\frac{2}{5}*P_t_o_t_a_l

So, the answer would be <u>3/5P</u>.

I hope it helps!

Where are the noble gases on the periodic table and what characteristics do they have?
OlgaM077 [116]
<span>the noble gases are those who occupy the eighth group of the periodic table and are so called because having the complete valence shell do not need to form bonds with other atoms and are thus in atomic form ...
</span>
The noble gases (also called rare gases) are of the inert gases that constitute the eighteenth [1] group of the periodic table of the elements, ie, the right-most column. They consist of atoms with electron shells full. It includes the following elements: helium neon argon krypton xenon radon Ununoctium <span>Sometimes they (particularly helium) are located together with other gases (mostly nitrogen and methane) into endogenous sources; helium of endogenous origin comes from the decomposition of radioactive elements present in the subsurface that emit α particles (ie ions He2 +): These oxidized species present in the soil and become elio.I atoms of the noble gases are all monatomic gas, not easily liquefiable, present the atmosphere in different percentages; the most common is argon which is approximately the 0.932%.</span>

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

I would recommend them becoming an Analytical Chemist because Analytical Chemists examine and identify various elements and compounds to find out the composition, structure, and nature of substances and they determine the concentration of chemical pollutants in soil, water,and air. I would recommend taking inorganic, organic, analytical, and physical chemistry as well as computer science, physics, and environmental science
