Alveolar air (a mixture of nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide) has a total pressure of 0.998 atm. If the partial pressure of o

xygen gas is 0.198 atm and the partial pressure of nitrogen gas is 0.770 atm, what is the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in millimeters of mercury?

Answer:

22.8 mmHg

Explanation:

According to Dalton's law of partial pressures, the total pressure of a mixture of gases is obtained as the sum of the partial pressures if all the individual gases present in the mixture.

Since the total pressure of gases in the mixture is 0.998 atm, the partial pressure of carbon dioxide is;

PCO2 = [Ptotal - (PO2+ PN2)]

Hence;

PCO2 = [0.998 - (0.198 + 0.770)]

PCO2 = 0.03

Since

1 atm = 760 mmHg

0.03 atm = 0.03 × 760 /1

=22.8 mmHg

Isotopes of carbon differ with the respect to the number of
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Neutrons.

Explanation:

Isotopes can be defined as the atom of an element that has the same number of protons but different number of neutrons. This ultimately implies that, the isotopes of an element have the same atomic number (number of protons) but different atomic mass (number of nucleons).

The isotope of an element is denoted by X^{A}_{Z}

Where; X is the symbol of the element.

A is the atomic mass or number of nucleons.

Z is the atomic number or number of protons.

<em>Therefore, the number of neutrons = A - Z</em>

<em>Isotopes of carbon differ with respect to the number of neutrons.</em>

<em>Basically, there are three (3) Isotopes of Carbon and these are;</em>

<em>1. Carbon-12: it has an atomic mass of 12 with 6 numbers of proton and neutron respectively. </em>

<em>2. Carbon-13: it has an atomic mass of 13 with 6 numbers of proton and 7 numbers of neutron. </em>

<em>3. Carbon-14: it has an atomic mass of 14 with 6 numbers of proton and 8 numbers of neutron.  </em>
