1. A sample of oxygen is collected over water at 22 ° C and 762 torr. What is the partial pressure of the dry oxygen? The vapor
1 answer:
Answer: The partial pressure of the dry oxygen is 742 torr
Explanation:
Dalton's Law of Partial Pressure states that the total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is the sum of partial pressure of each individual gas present. Thus
Given; Total pressure = 762 torr
partial pressure of water = 19.8 torr
partial pressure of dry oxygen = ? torr
Total pressure = partial pressure of water + partial pressure of dry oxygen
762 torr = 19.8 torr = partial pressure of dry oxygen
partial pressure of dry oxygen = 742 torr
The partial pressure of the dry oxygen is 742 torr

Answer:
a)
b) entropy of the sistem equal to a), entropy of the universe grater than a).
Explanation:
a) The change of entropy for a reversible process:
The energy balance:
If the process is isothermical the U doesn't change:
The work:
If it is an ideal gas:
Solving:
Replacing:
Given that it's a compression: V2<V1 and ln(V2/V1)<0. So:
b) The entropy change of the sistem will be equal to the calculated in a), but the change of entropy of the universe will be 0 in a) (reversible process) and in b) has to be positive given that it is an irreversible process.
