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

Answer:
</span><span>b. 320.0 mm hg </span>

Select the objects that hold the same amount of liquid as a 160−fluid-ounce jug. Select all that apply. A four 1−quart bottles B
Finger [1]

B, D and E

Explanation:

conversion factors

1c = 8oz

1pt = 2c

1qt = 2pt

For A and B

ounces to cup  = 160/8 = 20c

cup to pints = 20c / 2c = 10pt

pint to quarts = 10pt/2pt = 5qt  

B applies as four 1-quart and two 1-pt  = 5 1-quart

Considering C

4 8oz = 32oz

160-32 = 128oz /8 = 16c/2 = 8pints C  does not apply

considering D

8 * 8 = 64oz

160 - 64 = 96oz/8 = 12c/2 = 6pt/2 = 3qt

So D applies

E applies
