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!

Dalton's law of partial pressures states that the total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is the sum of the pressures exert
Damm [24]

Answer: The given statement is true.

Explanation:

According to the Dalton's law, total pressure of a mixture of gases that do not react with each other is equal to the partial pressure exerted by each gas.

The relationship is as follows.

          p_{total} = \sum_{i=1}^{n} p_{i}

or,        p_{total} = p_{1} + p_{2} + p_{3} + p_{4} + ......... + p_{n}

where,  p_{1}, p_{2}, p_{3} ....... = partial pressure of individual gases present in the mixture

Also, relation between partial pressure and mole fraction is as follows.

                 p_{i} = p_{total} \times x_{i}

where,      x_{i} = mole fraction

Thus, we can conclude that the statement Dalton's law of partial pressures states that the total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is the sum of the pressures exerted independently by each gas in the mixture, is true.

How much heat, in calories, is given off when 1.25 grams of silver is cooled from 100.0 degrees Celsius to 80 degrees Celsius? (
lapo4ka [179]
The heat required to raise the temperature of a certain mass of sample to a specific temperature change, we use the formula mCpΔT where m is mass, Cp is the specific heat of the substance and ΔT is the temperature change. In this case, we substitute and form 1.25 g x 0.057 cal/g C *20 C equal to 1.425 calories.
