As a scuba diver descends under water, the pressure increases. At a total air pressure of 2.71 atm and a temperature of 25.0 C,

what is the solubility of N2 in a diver's blood?[Use the value of the Henry's law constant k calculated , 6.26 x 10^{-4} (mol/(L*atm).]Assume that the composition of the air in the tank is the same as on land and that all of the dissolved nitrogen remains in the blood.Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Answer:

$1.32\times 10^{-3} mol/L$ is the solubility of nitrogen gas in a diver's blood.

Explanation:

Henry's law states that the amount of gas dissolved or molar solubility of gas is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the liquid.

To calculate the molar solubility, we use the equation given by Henry's law, which is:

$C_{N_2}=K_H\times p_{liquid}$

where,

$K_H$ = Henry's constant = $6.26 \times 10^{-4}mol/L.atm$

$p_{N_2}$ = partial pressure of nitrogen

$p_{N_2}= P\times \chi_{N_2}$ (Raoult's law)

$=2.71 atm\times 0.78=2.1138 atm$

$C_{N_2}=6.26 \times 10^{-4}mol/L.atm\times 2.1138 atm$

$C_{N_2}=1.32\times 10^{-3} mol/L$

$1.32\times 10^{-3} mol/L$ is the solubility of nitrogen gas in a diver's blood.

You have 4 moles of oxygen gas in a flask. 4 moles of helium gas is added. What happens to the total pressure of the gases in th

ASHA 777 [7]

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.

Many double-displacement reactions are enzyme-catalyzed via the "ping pong" mechanism, so called because the reactants appear to

zhenek [66]

Answer:

<u>D. It will decrease by a factor of 4</u>

Explanation:

According to the question , the equation follows :

$A+B\rightarrow C+D$

Rate law : This states the rate of reaction is directly proportional to concentration of reactants with each reactant raised to some power which may or may not be equal to the stoichiometeric coefficient.

$Rate\ \alpha [A]^{a}[B]^{b}$

$r=[A]^{a}[B]^{b}$ .................(1)

STEP": First, find out the power "a" and "b"

a+b = 3 (because it is given that the reaction follow 3rd order-kinetics)

According to question, <u><em>doubling the concentration of the first reactant causes the rate to increase by a factor of 2 means,</em></u>

r' = 2r if [A'] = 2[A]

Here [B] is uneffected means [B']=[B]

hence new rate =

$r'=[A']^{a}[B']^{b}$

Put the value of [A'] , [B'] and r' in the above equation:

$2r=[2A]^{a}[B]^{b}$ ...........(2)

Divide equation (1) by (2) we , get

$\frac{2r}{r}=\frac{[2A]^{2}[B]^{b}}{[A]^{a}[B]^{b}}$

$2= 2(\frac{A}{A})^{a}\times (\frac{B}{B})^{b}$

Here A and A cancel each other

B and B cancel each other

We get,

$2= 2^{a}\times 1^{b}$

1^b = 1 ( power of 1 = 1)

$2= 2^{a}$

This is possible only when a = 1

We know that : a + b = 3

1 + b = 3

b =3 -1 = 2

b = 2

Hence the rate law becomes :

$r=[A]^{a}[B]^{b}$

<u> $r=[A]^{1}[B]^{2}$ .............(3)</u>

Look in the question now, it is asked to calculate the concentration of [B],if cut in half

Hence

[B']=1/2[B]

Insert the value of [B'] in equation (3)

$r'=[A]^{1}[B']^{2}$

$r'=[A]^{1}(\frac{1}{2}[B])^{2}$

$r'=\frac{1}{4}[A]^{1}[B]^{2}$ ............(a)

But

$r=[A]^{a}[B]^{b}$ ..............(b)

Compare equation (a) and (b) , we get

new rate r' =

<u>r' = 1/4 r</u>
