Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

Total pressure of  mixture = p = 378 kPa

Partial pressure of the oxygen gas = p^o_{O_2}=212 kPa

Partial pressure of the hydrogen gas = p^o_{H_2}=101 kPa

Partial pressure of the nitrogen gas = p^o_{N_2}=?

As we know that total pressure is sum of partial pressures exerted by all the individual gases.

p=p^o_{O_2}+p^o_{H_2}+p^o_{N_2}

378 kpa=212 kPa+101 kPa+p^o_{N_2}

p^o_{N_2}=378 kPa - 212 kPa-101 kPa=65 kPa

65 kPa the partial pressure exerted by nitrogen.

As we know that

<span>P total = pO +pH +pN</span>

<span>so</span>

P = P1 + P2 + P3

378 kPa= 212 kPa + 101 kPa + P(H2)

P(H2) = 65 kPa

partial pressure is 65

so correct option is A 

hope it helps

Which symbol on a regulatory marker indicates hazards such as rocks or stumps? green square?
g100num [7]

The symbol on a regulatory marker that indicates hazards such as rocks or stumps is an Orange Diamond. Regulatory markers are types of non-lateral markers such as white and orange markings that are used as navigation aids that give directions, warn of dangers and marks controlled locations. Orange diamond shapes warns of dangers such as rocks, stumps or construction.

James adds some magnetic marbles to a glass jar full of ordinary marbles, and then shakes up the jar. What do you think will hap
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Magnetic marbles will tend to attract each other.

Explanation:

Magnetic marbles are composed of ferromagnetic materials, which indicates that they function as a magnet and have the ability to attract other objects formed by ferromagnetic materials. In this case, we can say that the magnetic marbles attract each other and inside a jar containing magnetic marbles and common balls, the magnetic marbles will tend to attract and group together.

What is genetic biodiversity?
Nady [450]

Answer:

So it would be the first one, The variation in biological factors affecting a species.

Explanation:

Genetic diversity is the total number of genetic characteristics in the genetic makeup of a species, it ranges widely from the number of species to differences within species and can be attributed to the span of survival for a species.

All forms of life on earth, whether microbes, plants, animals, or human beings, contain genes. Genetic diversity is the sum of genetic information contained in the genes of individual plants, animals, and micro-organisms. Each species is the storehouse of an immense amount of genetic information in the form of traits, characteristics, etc. The number of genes ranges from about 1000 in bacteria to more than 400 000 in many flowering plants. Each species consists of many organisms and virtually no two members of the same species are genetically identical.

An important conservation consequence of this is that even if an endangered species is saved from extinction it has probably lost some of its internal diversity. Consequently, when populations expand again, they become more genetically uniform than their ancestors. There are mathematical formulas to express a genetically effective population size that explain the genetic effects on populations that have gone through a bottleneck before expanding again such as the African cheetah or the North American bison. Subsequent inbreeding in small populations may result in:

a) reduced fertility and

b) increased susceptibility to disease.

Genetic differentiation within species occurs as a result of sexual reproduction, in which genetic differences between individuals are combined in their offspring to produce new combinations of genes or from mutations causing changes in the DNA. Genetic diversity is usually mentioned with reference to agriculture and maintaining food security. This is because genetic erosion of several crops has already occurred leading to the world's dependence for food on just a few species. Currently, a mere 100-odd species account for 90% of the supply of food crops, and three crops – rice, maize, and wheat – account for 69% of the calories and 56% of the proteins that people derive from plants.
