Why is the air in a jet aircraft flying at high altitudes pressurized? *

Chemistry
1 answer:
saw5 [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Aircraft cabins are therefore pressurized to maintained a similar pressure as that experienced at sea level to ensure normal breathing of passengers.

Explanation:

-Air becomes increasingly thinner with increasing altitudes.

-As such, oxygen becomes limited at higher altitudes and makes it difficult or almost impossible to breath  a condition called hypoxia.

-Aircraft cabins are therefore pressurized to maintained a similar pressure as that experienced at sea level to ensure normal breathing of passengers.

oils will dissolve best in solvents that are? A. polar B. nonpolar C. either polar or nonpolar D. neither polar nor nonpolar
Genrish500 [490]
The answer is <span>B. nonpolar.

Polar molecules dissolve best in polar solvents while nonpolar molecules dissolve best in nonpolar solvents. </span>Oils are nonpolar. So, they will dissolve best in nonpolar solvents. If you put oil in some polar solvent, such as water, it will hardly dissolve.

. What mass of ammonium chloride must be added to 250. mL of water to give a solution with pH
Eduardwww [97]

The mass of ammonium chloride that must be added is : ( A ) 4.7 g

<u>Given data :</u>

Volume of water ( V )  = 250 mL = 0.25 L

pH of solution = 4.85

Kb = 1.8 * 10⁻⁵

Kw = 10⁻¹⁴

Given that the dissolution of NH₄Cl gives NH₄⁺⁺ and Cl⁻ ions the equation is written as :

NH₄CI  +  H₂O  ⇄  NH₃ + H₃O⁺

where conc of H₃O⁺

[ H₃O⁺ ] = \sqrt{Ka.C}   and Ka = Kw / Kb

∴ Ka = 5.56 * 10⁻¹⁰

Next step : Determine the concentration of H₃O⁺  in the solution

pH = - log [ H₃O⁺ ] = 4.85

∴ [ H₃O⁺ ] in the solution = 1.14125 * 10⁻⁵

Next step : Determine the concentration of NH₄CI in the solution

C = [ H₃O⁺ ]² / Ka

  = ( 1.14125 * 10⁻⁵ )² /  5.56 * 10⁻¹⁰

  = 0.359 mol / L

Determine the number of moles of NH₄CI in the solution

n = C . V

  = 0.359 mol / L  * 0.25 L =  0.08979 mole

Final step : determine the mass of ammonium chloride that must be added to 250 mL

mass = n * molar mass

         = 0.08979 * 53.5 g/mol

         = 4.80 g  ≈ 4.7 grams

Therefore we can conclude that the mass of ammonium chloride that must be added is 4.7 g
