Hello!

<span>We have the following statement data:
</span>
Data:
P_{Total} = 800 mmHg
P\% N_{2} = 60\%
P\% O_{2} = 40\%
P_{partial} = ? (mmHg)

<span>As the percentage is the mole fraction multiplied by 100:

</span>P =  X_{ O_{2} }*100

<span>The mole fraction will be the percentage divided by 100, thus:
</span><span>What is the partial pressure of oxygen in this mixture? 
</span>
X_{ O_{2} }  =  \frac{P}{100}
X_{ O_{2}} =  \frac{40}{100}
\boxed{X_{ O_{2}} = 0.4}


<span>To calculate the partial pressure of the oxygen gas, it is enough to use the formula that involves the pressures (total and partial) and the fraction in quantity of matter:
</span>
In relation to O_{2} :

\frac{P O_{2} }{P_{total}} = X_O_{2}
\frac{P O_{2} }{800} = 0.4
P_O_{2} = 0.4*800
\boxed{\boxed{P_O_{2} = 320\:mmHg}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark

jek_recluse [69]

Answer: D. Mutation in coding sequences are more likely to be deleterious to the organism than mutations in noncoding sequences.

Explanation: It was not likely to be that the coding sequences are replicated more often. The only possible explanation is that the mutations in coding is more likely to be deleterious to the organism than mutations because it is in a non coding sequence.

What is true of tectonic plates?
kupik [55]

Answer:

Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth's outer shell is divided into several plates that glide over the mantle, the rocky inner layer above the core. The plates act like a hard and rigid shell compared to Earth's mantle. ... The lithosphere includes the crust and outer part of the mantle.

What subatomic particles participate in chemical bonding
Advocard [28]
The subatomic particle involved in chemical bonding is the electron. Electrons are the smallest of all subatomic particles and orbit the nucleus in discrete energy levels called shells. Electrons are negatively charged and the nucleus is positively charged due to the protons.

Answer:

dissolve rocksalt in heated water

Explanation:

If the rock salt is one large chunk, grind it into a powder using a mortar and pestle or a coffee grinder.

Add 30-50 milliliters of water to six heaping spatula scoops of rock salt.

Stir to dissolve the salt.

Place the filter paper in the mouth of the funnel.

Place the evaporating dish under the funnel to collect the liquid.

Slowly pour the rock salt solution into the funnel. Make sure you don't over-fill the funnel. You don't want the liquid to flow around the top of the filter paper because then it isn't getting filtered.

Save the liquid (filtrate) that comes through the filter. Many of the mineral contaminants did not dissolve in the water and were left behind on the filter paper.

Place the evaporating dish containing the filtrate on the tripod.

Position the Bunsen burner under the tripod.

Slowly and carefully heat the evaporating dish. Be careful! If you apply too much heat, you might break the dish.

Gently heat the filtrate until all the water is gone. It's okay if the salt crystals hiss and move a little.

Turn off the burner and collect your salt. Although some impurities will remain in the materials, many of them will have been removed simply by using the difference in solubility in water, mechanical filtration, and by applying heat to drive off volatile compounds.

If you want to further purify the salt, you can dissolve your product in hot water and crystallize the sodium chloride from it.
