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

How are the hydrogen bonds in water responsible for many of the molecules unique characteristics?
DiKsa [7]

Hydrogen bonds exhibit the stronger intermolecular force, and water is a polar molecule, so the hydrogen bonding create strong forces which take more energy to break (causing the surface tension of water), and due to the polarity water molecules “stick” to one another which causes the edges to rise up in a tube, forming a meniscus

How can two organisms with a dominant trait for a specific feature produce an organism with a recessive trait for the same featu
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

If the two organisms are heterozygous for the dominant trait.

Explanation:

For every trait, a diploid organism receives two forms of gene called ALLELE, from each parent. Allele is the variant form of a gene.

According to Mendel's law of dominance, for a particular trait, an allele is capable of masking the expression of another allele in a gene. The expressed allele is called the DOMINANT allele while the masked allele is called the RECESSIVE allele. Due to this, an organism can express a dominant trait even in a combined or heterozygous state i.e. different alleles.

When the two heterozygous organisms mate or are crossed, they undergo meiosis and their alleles are separated into GAMETES according to Mendel's law of segregation. For example; an organism with genotype (genetic make-up) Aa will produce gametes with A and a alleles.

Note that, a recessive trait can only be expressed in a homozygous state i.e. same allele. Hence, the two heterozygous organisms will produce gametes containing the recessive allele, which will likely combine to produce a recessive phenotype or trait.

Jobisdone [24]
You could argue with the fact that a common worker was allowed their own burial tomb. Back in ancient Egypt few were rich enough to have a Tomb built. Also the tomb seams to be a graveyard, which implies that this is a place specifically designated for the dead, which were usually not tombs but in places closer to town.

Which physical factor, related to the formation of severe weather, has to do with the amount of water vapor in the air?
lord [1]
Increase in temperature. I am not exactly sure what you're looking for but basically water vapour in the air has to do with evaporation of water from the surroundings so it will definitely have to do with the increase in global temperatures brought by global warming
