Air is composed of 79%N^2, 21% O^2. if the air pressure is 101.3 kPa, what are the pressures of N^2 and O^2

1 answer:

5 0

According to Dalton's law of partial pressures, a mixture of gases inflict pressure in a direct proportion to their volume/mass etc. Therefore, since 79 percent of the air is composed of nitrogen and 21 percent of Oxygen, we multiply 101.3 kPa by 0.79 = 80.027 kPa by Nitrogen, 101.3 kPa by 0.21 = 21.273 kPa by Oxygen.

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

benefits: can help reduce waste in land fills, and promotes reusability (turned into different products)

drawbacks: can be much more expensive to salvage than to just throw it in a landfill, and most of the time products cannot be recycled effectively due to its material.

Read the information about the halogen family.

Elodia [21]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Chlorine is a member of the halogen family known as a toxic yellowish green gas. Inhalation of chlorine for a prolonged period of time leads to pulmonary edema. If a person comes in contact with compressed liquid chlorine the person may experience frostbite of the skin and eyes.

However chlorine is very useful in water disinfection and is preferred in water treatment because it provides residual disinfection of the treated water.

Chlorine gas may be dissolved in NaOH to form oxochlorate I which is used as a bleach in cleaning.

12. A beginner's bowling ball has a mass of 4.9 kg and a volume of 5.4 liters. Will it float in water,

Greeley [361]

Taking into account the definition of density and Archimedes' principle, the beginner bowling ball will float on the water.

But first it is neccesary to know that density is a quantity referred to the amount of mass in a certain volume of a substance or a solid object.

In other words, the density is the relationship between the weight (mass) of a substance and the volume that the same substance occupies.

The expression for the calculation of density is the quotient between the mass of a body and the volume it occupies:

$density=\frac{mass}{volume}$

In this case, a beginner's bowling ball has a mass of 4.9 kg and a volume of 5.4 liters. This is:

mass= 4.9 kg= 4900 g (being 1 kg= 1000 kg)
volume= 5.4 L= 5400 mL (being 1L=1000 mL)

Replacing in the definition of density:

$density=\frac{4900 g}{5400 mL}$

Solving:

density=0.907 $\frac{g}{mL}$

On the other hand, Archimedes' principle says that an object immersed in a liquid experiences an upward vertical force equal to the weight of the volume of the dislodged liquid.

The sinking or floating of an object is determined by its density with respect to that of the liquid in which it is submerged.

Considering water as the liquid where the object is submerged in this case, an object with a higher density than water will sink. In contrast, an object with a lower density than water will float.

In this case, considering that water has a density of 1 $\frac{g}{mL}$ , the bowling ball for beginners has a lower density. This indicates that, having a lower density than water, the object will float.

In summary, the beginner bowling ball will float on the water.
