He partial pressure of oxygen gas in our atmosphere is 0.21 atm. this is the partial pressure at which human lungs have evolved

to be able to breathe this gas. a scuba diver, will thus still have to breath oxygen at this pressure even when diving way down in the water. if a mixture of helium and oxygen (heliox) in his tank is at a pressure of 8.30 atm, what must the partial pressure be of helium to keep the partial pressure of oxygen at 0.21 atm?

Hello!

The partial pressure of helium to keep the partial pressure of oxygen at 0,21 atm in a scuba-diver tank is 8,09 atm

To solve this question, we can use the Dalton's Law, which states that the total pressure in a container with a mixture of gases is the sum of the partial pressures o each individual gas. For the case of this mixture the Dalton's Law is as follows:

P_{tot}=P_{He} +P_{O_2}

In this equation, we need to clear for PHe, knowing that the PO₂ should be 0,21 atm, to find the required pressure of Helium:

P_{He}=P_{tot} -P_{O_2}=8,30atm-0,21atm=  8,09 atm

Have a nice day!

Suppose you want to create a 6 ng/μL solution in a 25 mL volumetric flask. However, this concentration cannot really be accurate
Over [174]

Answer:

Mass of chemical = 1.5 mg

Explanation:

Step 1: First calculate the concentration of the stock solution required to make the final solution.

Using C1V1 = C2V2

C1 = concentration of the stock solution; V1 = volume of stock solution; C2 = concentration of final solution; V2 = volume of final solution

C1 = C2V2/V1

C1 = (6 * 25)/ 0.1

C1 = 1500 ng/μL = 1.5 μg/μL

Step 2: Mass of chemical added:

Mass of sample = concentration * volume

Concentration of stock = 1.5 μg/μL; volume of stock = 10 mL = 10^6 μL

Mass of stock = 1.5 μg/μL * 10^6 μL = 1.5 * 10^6 μg = 1.5 mg

Therefore, mass of sample = 1.5 mg

What would happen if there were no neutrons in an atom?
AnnyKZ [126]
The mass of the atom would change. With no atoms being there then the mass would possibly change. With no neutrons then the mass of the atom will decrease
