A mixture of helium and oxygen is used in scuba diving tanks to help prevent ""the bends"". 46 L helium and 12 L oxygen are comb

marin [14]

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

Choose the correct statement concerning units of power or energy. a. A kilojoule (kJ) is a unit of power. b. A gigawatt (GW) is

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

A kilowatt (kW) is a unit of power.

Explanation:

The power of an object is given by :

$P=\dfrac{E}{t}$

Here,

E is the energy required

t is time

The SI unit of power is Watts and the SI unit of energy is Joule. the commercial unit of energy is kilowatt per hour.

Option (1) : A kilojoule (kJ) is a unit of power is incorrect.

Option (2) : A gigawatt (GW) is a unit of energy is incorrect.

Option (3) : A watt (W) is a unit of energy is incorrect.

Option (4) : A kilowatt x hour per year (kWh/yr) is a unit of energy is incorrect.

Option (4) : A kilowatt (kW) is a unit of power is correct.

Hence, the correct option is (d).
