In terms of molecular motion, why does an increase in pressure lead to an increased solubility of a gas?

1 answer:

7 0

We imagine a piston cylinder and a solution of gas and water. Molecules are in constant random motion and some of the gas particles are in the vapor phase while some in the liquid phase. At a specific volume, molecules move freely. However, when the piston is moved down, increasing the pressure, some of the molecules in the vapor are pushed down to the liquid phase in order maintain equilibrium thus increasing solubility <span />

Hydrogen H weight: 81

Non-metal

Hydrogen is the simplest element; an atom consists of only one proton and one electron. It is also the most plentiful element in the universe. Despite its simplicity and abundance, hydrogen doesn't occur naturally as a gas on the Earth--it is always combined with other elements.

period 1 group 1

Hydrogen is easily the most abundant element in the universe. It is found in the sun and most of the stars, and the planet Jupiter is composed mostly of hydrogen. On Earth, hydrogen is found in the greatest quantities as water.

What two gases make up 99% of the Earth's atmosphere? A. Nitrogen and water vapor B. Carbon dioxide and oxygen C. Carbon dioxide

denpristay [2]

Of the gases listed, nitrogen, oxygen, water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone are extremely important to the health of the Earth's biosphere. The table indicates that nitrogen and oxygen are the main components of the atmosphere by volume.

so the answer is D. Nitrogen and oxygen

Kia is doing an experiment in science lab. She is given a beaker containing 100 g of liquid. The beaker has markings on the side

Semmy [17]

Kia's remaining water has a mass of 50g. You can set it up as a proportion knowing that 100ml of water has a mass of 100g and thus 50ml of water would weight 50g

How many moles of argon are contained in 58 L of At at STP?

Harman [31]

Answer:

n = 2.58 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of argon = ?

Volume occupy = 58 L

Temperature = 273.15 K

Pressure = 1 atm

Solution:

The given problem will be solve by using general gas equation,

PV = nRT

P= Pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K

T = temperature in kelvin

1 atm × 58 L = n × 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K × 273.15 K

58 atm.L = n × 22.43 atm.L/ mol.

n = 58 atm.L / 22.43 atm.L/ mol

n = 2.58 mol

Sometimes described as a "chemical brother" of gaba (gamma-aminobutyric acid), which amino acid neurotransmitter acts in an exci

poizon [28]

excitatory amino acids are the amino acids helps in transformation of neurotransmitters or it helps in transmission of synapsis rapidly in brain of mammal. EAA known to be neurotransmitters for Central nervous system.

Excitatory amino acids count may vary from 50’s to 100’s. They are mostly composed of non-protein- amino acids obtained from algae or fungi.

The possible EAAs are Glutamate (Glu) and Aspartate which act as excitatory neurotransmitters in the brain. They get released from neurons where they induce excitation via metabotropic Glu receptors.

Both glutamate and aspartate having excitatory effect on neurotransmission whereas Gama-amino butyric acid having inhibitory effect on neurotransmission.

Thus, the statement ‘neurotransmitters are chemical brother of gaba’ is indicating the complementary effect of each other.
