Answer: The correct option is (c). The total pressure doubles.

Solution:

Initially,  only 4 moles of oxygen gas were present in the flask.

p_{O_2}=Tp_1\times X_{O_2}  (X_{O_2}=\frac{4}{4}) ( according to Dalton's law of partial pressure)

p_{O_2}=Tp_1\times 1=Tp_1....(1)

Tp_1= Total pressure when only oxygen gas was present.

Final total pressure when 4 moles of helium gas were added:

X'_{O_2}=\frac{4}{8}=\farc{1}{2},X_{He}=\frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2}

partial pressure of oxygen in the mixture :

Since, the number of moles of oxygen remains the same, the partial pressure of oxygen will also remain the same in the mixture.

p_{O_2}=Tp_2\times X'_{O_2}=Tp_2\times \frac{1}{2}

Tp_2= Total pressure of the mixture.

from (1)

Tp_1=Tp_2\times X'_{O_2}=Tp_2\times \frac{1}{2}

On rearranging, we get:

Tp_2=2\times Tp_1

The new total pressure will be twice of initial total pressure.

What is the particle that is labeled with a question mark (?) in the diagram?
Nat2105 [25]

Answer is: quark.

Quark is a type of elementary particle and a fundamental constituent of matter.

Quarks form composite hadrons (protons and neutrons). Protons and neutrons are in the nucleus of an atom.

Hadrons include baryons (protons and neutrons) and mesons.

There are six types of quarks: up, down, strange, charm, bottom, and top.

A trisubstituted cyclohexane compound is given below in its chair conformation. Draw the corresponding planar (overhead) represe
REY [17]

Answer:

See explaination

Explanation:

Chiral carbons are carbons that have four different groups, so C atoms 1, 4, and 5 are chiral carbons and thus H atoms are shown for those atoms.
