<span>1.Remove the ending of the second element, and add "ide" just like in ionic compounds
 2.When naming molecular compounds prefixes are used to dictate the number of a given element present in the compound
3.If there is only one of the first element, you can drop the prefix
<span>4.If there are two vowels in a row that sound the same once the prefix is added (they "conflict"), the extra vowel on the end of the prefix is removed</span></span>

If a mixture of gases contained 78% nitrogen at a pressure of and 22% carbon dioxide at , what is the total pressure of the syst
Naddika [18.5K]
The pressures given are the partical pressures of the two gases.

The law of Dalton or of the partial pressures states that the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the pressures of all the gases.

So, in this case:

Total pressure = pressure of nitrogen + pressure of carbon dioxyde.

Of course both terms must be in the same units.

i have found that the pressures for this problem are:

Pressure of nitrogen = 984 torr

Pressure of carbon dioxyde = 345 torr

Total pressure = 984 torr + 345 torr = 1329 torr.

Now convert to atm: 1 atm = 760 torr

=> 1329 torr * 1 atm / 760 torr = 1.74868 atm ≈ 1.75 atm

Answer: 1.75 atm

Describe the conversions from potential to kinetic energy, or kinetic to potential energy, as a toy car rolls down a ramp.
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

When an object falls, its gravitational potential energy is changed to kinetic energy. You can use this relationship to calculate the speed of the object's descent. Gravitational potential energy for a mass m at height h near the surface of the Earth is mgh more than the potential energy would be at height 0.
