The solubility of oxygen in lakes high in the Rocky Mountains is affected by the altitude. If the solubility of O 2 from the air

is 2.67 × 10 –4 M at sea level and 25°C, what is the solubility of O 2 at an elevation of 12,000 ft where the atmospheric pressure is 0.657 atm?
Assume the temperature is 25°C, and that the mole fraction of O 2 in air is 0.209 at both 12,000 ft and at sea level. 1.75 × 10–4 M 2.67 × 10–4 M 3.66 × 10–5 M 4.06 × 10–4 M

Answer:

S = 1,75x10⁻⁴M

Explanation:

It is possible to answer this question using Henry's law that states that the amount of dissolved gas in a liquid is proportional to its partial pressure above the liquid. The formula is:

S = k×Pi

Where S is solubility, K is Henry's constant and Pi is partial pressure.

At sea level, Pi of O₂ is:

1atm×0,209 = 0,209 atm. Replacing:

2,67x10⁻⁴M = k×0,209atm

k = 1,28x10⁻³M/atm

At 12,000ft Pi of O₂ is:

0,657atm×0,209 = 0,137 atm. Replacing:

S = 1,28x10⁻³M/atm×0,137atm

<em>S = 1,75x10⁻⁴M</em>

I hope it helps!

Nostrana [21]
Dropping a 50 gram piece of metal with a temperature of 125° Celsius into 1000 grams of water at 20° Celsius would lead to a heat loss by the metal and an heat gain by the water. These loss and gain should be equal since energy cannot be created nor destroyed.

How many electrons in the same atom can share the quantum number n = 2?
melisa1 [442]
With the principle quantum number being 2, the maximum number that can share this is 8. You can use the general formula 2n^2 to calculate this number (n=quantum level), or you can use the concept of quantum numbers (n, l, m, s) to justify this answer.
