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

What is the density (g / mL) of a substance that has a mass of 8.11 g and, when placed into a graduated cylinder, causes the wat
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 0.42 g/mL</h3>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume} \\

From the question

mass = 8.11 g

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 44.72 - 25.26 = 19.46 mL

We have

density =  \frac{8.11}{19.46}  \\  = 0.416752312...

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.42 g/mL</h3>

This is the chemical formula for talc (the main ingredient in talcum powder): mg3(si2o5)2(oh)2. an analytical chemist fins that
weqwewe [10]
In one mole of talc, we observe that there are:
3 moles of Mg
4 moles of Si
2 moles of H
12 moles of O

The molar ratio of O to Mg is then:

12 moles of O : 3 moles of Mg = 4 : 1

Therefore, if 6.1 moles of Mg are present, the moles of O are:

4 * 6.1 = 24.4 moles of O

Research shows that the combination of __________ and __________ can reduce the risk of death in a collision by up to 80%
r-ruslan [8.4K]
The combination of seatbelts and airbags can reduce the risk of death in a collision by up to 80%.

The seatbelts help to keep the person in one position and prevent impact with the vehicle as the vehicle comes to a sudden stop. Moreover, the airbag increases the time of collision to reduce the impact experienced by the person. An increased time of collision greatly reduces the damage that is done to the body.
