Air is comprised predominantly of nitrogen (N2) and oxygen gas. The ambient air in this room contains about 0.28g of oxygen (O2)

gas per liter of air. A typical human at rest inhales about 19.3 fluid ounces (fl.oz.) of air per breath. And at rest takes about 20 breaths per minute. How many grams of oxygen gas does a human at rest inhale in an hour? Show all calculations with the correct units for full credit.

Answer:

190 g

Explanation:

Knowing that:

  • O₂ gas in air: 0.28 g O₂ / L of air
  • Air inhaled at rest: 19.3 fl.oz. air / breath
  • Human takes 20 breaths / min

The grams of oxygen gas (O₂) that a human at rest inhales in 1 hour (60 minutes) will be calculated as:

grams of O₂ = breaths in 1 hour * air inhaled per breath * amount of O₂ in air

grams O_{2} = 60 min* 20 \frac{breath}{min} * 19.3 \frac{fl.oz. air}{breath} * \frac{1 L}{33.814 fl.oz.} * 0.28 \frac{g O_{2} }{L}

grams of O₂ = 191.78 g

190 g of O₂ are inhaled in 1 hour (written in correct number of significant figures)

*In the calculation the amount of air inhaled per breath was converted from fl.oz. to Liters knowing that <em>1 L = 33.814 fl.oz.</em>

A student compares the boiling point of substances having different intermolecular forces. which dependent variable did the stud
Gwar [14]

A student compares the boiling point of substances having different intermolecular forces. <u>Boiling points of various substances</u> is the dependent variable that student most likely use.

<h3>Does the nature of intermolecular forces present in different substance affect their boiling points?</h3>

The boiling point of a substance is proportional to the strength of its intermolecular forces, the higher the boiling point, the stronger the intermolecular forces. We can compare the strengths of intermolecular forces by comparing the boiling points of different substances.

<h3>What properties are affected by intermolecular forces?</h3>

Intermolecular forces are measured by boiling points.

Intermolecular forces increase as bond polarization increases.

Ionic > hydrogen bonding > dipole dipole > dispersion is the order of the strength of intermolecular forces (and thus their impact on boiling points).

<h3>How can you determine strong and weak intermolecular forces?</h3>

Substances with strong intermolecular forces are very attracted to one another and are held together tightly. These substances require a great deal of energy to separate, whereas substances with weak intermolecular forces are held together very loosely and have weak interactions.

Does sodium (Na) and argon (Ar) on the periodic table have similar properties? Explain in terms of location on the periodic tabl
iVinArrow [24]

Sodium (Na) and Argon (Ar) on the periodic table does not have similar properties.

PERIODIC TABLE:

  • Periodic table is the organized table that showcases the position of elements. The periodic table is organized into groups and periods.

  • Groups of the periodic table is in a vertical format labeled 1 - 7 while the period is in a horizontal format labeled 1 - 7.

  • Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons and hence, possess similar chemical properties.

  • Sodium (Na) belongs to group 1 while argon is a noble gas, hence, they are not in the same group of the periodic table and cannot have same properties.
