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.

How does temperature change affect waters cohesion?

bixtya [17]

the special property of water as universal solvent is because of the existing hydrogen bonding between oxygen and hydrogen molecules. Adhesion and cohesion are one of the repercussions of hydrogen bonding. Higher temperature causes hydrogen bonds to break while lower thresholds causes them to stabilize the bonds.

Are electrons always shared equally in a covalent bond? Give two examples.

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

covalent bonds form between two nonmetals, resulting in a sharing of electrons-in order to reach their eight valence electrons (octet rule ) however the atoms rarely share the electrons equally. In polar covalent bonds, the electrons are shared unequally.

ex. HCl

and H2O
