Observe yourself breathing and count the number of times you inhale per second. During each breath you probably inhale 0.66 L of

air. Assume the pressure is 1 atm and the temperature is 20∘C. Only about 21% of air is O2. 1. How many oxygen molecules do you inhale if you are at sea level?

To solve this exercise it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Robert Boyle's law where:

$PV=nRT$

Where,

P = Pressure

V = Volume

T = Temperature

n = amount of substance

R = Ideal gas constant

We start by calculating the volume of inhaled O_2 for it:

$V = 21\% * 0.66L$

$V = 0.1386L$

Our values are given as

P = 1atm

T=293K $R = 0.083145kJ*mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

Using the equation to find n, we have:

$PV=nRT$

$n = \frac{PV}{RT}$

$n = \frac{(1)(0.1386)}{(0.0821)(293)}$

$n = 5.761*10^{-3}mol$

Number of molecules would be found through Avogadro number, then

$\#Molecules = 5.761*10^{-3}*6.022*10^{23}$

$\#Molecules = 3.469*10^{21} molecules$

Fofino [41]

When you add more water to the balloon, it makes it heavier. Therefore it would weigh the balloon down ( increasing mass) and increasing the energy to plummet down. So the answer is B.

When the displacement in SHM is equal to 1/3 of the amplitude xm, what fraction of the total energy is (a) kinetic energy and (b

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Displacement is $\frac{1}{3}$ of Amplitude

i.e. $x=\frac{A}{3}$ , where A is maximum amplitude

Potential Energy is given by

$U=\frac{1}{2}kx^2$

$U=\frac{1}{2}k(\frac{A}{3})^2$

$U=\frac{1}{18}kA^2$

Total Energy of SHM is given by

$T.E.=\frac{1}{2}kA^2$

Total Energy=kinetic Energy+Potential Energy

$K.E.=\frac{1}{2}kA^2 -\frac{1}{18}kA^2$

$K.E.=\frac{8}{18}kA^2$

Potential Energy is $\frac{1}{8}$ th of Total Energy

Kinetic Energy is $\frac{8}{9}$ of Total Energy

(c)Kinetic Energy is $0.5\times \frac{1}{2}kA^2$

$P.E.=\frac{1}{4}kA^2$

$\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{4}kA^2$

$x=\frac{A}{\sqrt{2}}$

The speed of light in air is 3.0 x 10^8 m/s. The speed of light in particular glass is 2.3 x 10^8 m/s. Use the information to de

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

33.61°

Explanation:

Refractive index is equal to velocity of the light 'c' in empty space divided by the velocity 'v' in the substance.

Or ,

n = c/v.

v is the velocity in the medium (2.3 × 10⁸ m/s)

c is the speed of light in air = 3.0 × 10⁸ m/s

So,

n = 3.0 × 10⁸ / 2.3 × 10⁸

n = 1.31

Using Snell's law as:

$n_i\times {sin\theta_i}={n_r}\times{sin\theta_r}$

Where,

${\theta_i}$ is the angle of incidence ( 25.0° )

${\theta_r}$ is the angle of refraction ( ? )

${n_r}$ is the refractive index of the refraction medium (air, n=1)

${n_i}$ is the refractive index of the incidence medium (glass, n=1.31)

Hence,

$1.31\times {sin25.0^0}={1}\times{sin\theta_r}$

Angle of refraction = $sin^{-1}0.5536$ = 33.61°

Which is an example of a covalent bond? There are fewer than 16 valence electrons in 2 chlorine atoms, but they form a stable bo

Goryan [66]

Covalent bonding is a type of chemical bonding wherein there is a sharing of electrons to achieve chemical stability or the octet rule. For instance, the chlorine atom with one unpaired electron shares an electron to sodium to become stable. In the given examples, the situation that portrays covalent bonding is when Chlorine accepts 1 electron from calcium to form a stable bond.
