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

Chemistry

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.

What are the equilibrium concentrations of pb2+ and f– in a saturated solution of lead(ii) fluoride if the ksp of pbf2 is 3.20×1
erica [24]
Answer is:  the equilibrium concentrations fluorine anion are 0.004 M and lead cation are 0.002 M.<span>
Chemical reaction: PbF</span>₂(aq) → Pb²⁺(aq) + 2F⁻(aq).<span>
Ksp = 3,2·10</span>⁻⁸.
[Pb²⁺] = x.
[F⁻] = 2[Pb²⁺] = 2x<span>
Ksp = [Pb²</span>⁺] · [F⁻]².
Ksp = x · 4x².
3,2·10⁻⁸ = 4x³.
x = ∛3,2·10⁻⁸ ÷ 4.
x = [Pb²⁺] = 0,002M = 2·10⁻³ M.
[F⁻] = 2 · 0,002M = 0,004 M = 4·10⁻³ M.

Would the ph at the equivalence point be acidic, basic, or neutral for each given titration?.
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

At the equivalence point, equal amounts of H+ and OH– ions will combine to form H2O, resulting in a pH of 7.0 (neutral). The pH at the equivalence point for this titration will always be 7.0, note that this is true only for titrations of strong acid with strong base.

Cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen, which have high levels of free energy, and releases carbon dioxide and water, whic
Alja [10]

Answer: Cellular respiration is spontaneous and exergonic. The energy released from the glucose is stored in ATP molelcules.

Explanation:

Spontaneous reactions have an increase in entropy (level of disorder) and a decrease in enthalpy (total energy). Cellular respiration goes from a more ordered state (one molecule of glucose) to a more disordered state (several molecules of CO2), and goes from a state with a lot of free energy to one with much less free energy. As a result, respiration is a spontaneous process.

As free energy from the glucose is released as ATP molecules during oxidation, the reaction is exergonic.
