<u>Answer:</u> The partial pressure of oxygen is 160 mmHg

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Percent of oxygen in air = 21 %

Mole fraction of oxygen in air = \frac{21}{100}=0.21

To calculate the partial pressure of oxygen, we use the equation given by Raoult's law, which is:

p_{O_2}=p_T\times \chi_{O_2}

where,

p_{O_2} = partial pressure of oxygen = ?

p_T = total pressure of air = 760 mmHg

\chi_{O_2} = mole fraction of oxygen = 0.21

Putting values in above equation, we get:

p_{O_2}=760mmHg\times 0.21\\\\p_{O_2}=160mmHg

Hence, the partial pressure of oxygen is 160 mmHg

Levart [38]

Answer:

Collisions between gas particles are elastic; there is no net gain or loss of kinetic energy.

Explanation:

When a gas is paced in a container, the molecules of the gas have little or no intermolecular interaction between them. There is a lot of space between the molecules of the gas.

The gas molecules move at very high speed and collide with each other and with the walls of container.

The collision of these particles with each other is perfectly elastic hence the kinetic energy of the colliding gas particles do not change.

assume in a different experiment, you prepare a mixture containing 10.0 M FeSCN2+, 1.0 M H+, 0.1 MFe3+ and 0.1 M HSCN. Is the in
Katarina [22]

Answer:

The mixture is not in equilibrium, the reaction will shift to the left.

Explanation:

<em>Based on the equilibrium:</em>

<em>Fe³⁺+ HSCN ⇄ FeSCN²⁺ + H⁺</em>

<em>kc = 30 = [FeSCN²⁺] [H⁺] / [Fe³⁺] [HSCN]</em>

Where [] are concentrations at equilibrium. The reaction is in equilibrium when  the ratio of concentrations = kc

Q is the same expression than kc but with [] that are not in equilibrium

Replacing:

Q = [10.0M] [1.0M] / [0.1M] [0.1M]

Q = 1000

As Q > kc, the reaction will shift to the left in order to produce Fe³⁺ and HSCN untill Q = Kc

Select the correct scientist for each of the following advances in creating the modern periodic table.
sergey [27]

Answer:

Lavoisier; Newlands; Moseley

Explanation:

In 1789, Antoine Lavoisier grouped the elements into gases, nonmetals, metals, and earths.

In 1865, John Newlands developed the Law of Octaves. He stated that "any given element will exhibit analogous behaviour to the eighth element following it in the table."  

In 1914, Henry Moseley found a correlation between the X-ray wavelength of an element and its atomic number. He was then able to restructure the periodic table according to atomic numbers.
