Deep sea divers use a mixture of helium and oxygen to breathe. Assume that a diver is going to a depth of 150 feet where the tot

al pressure is 4.42 atm. The partial pressure of oxygen at this depth is to be maintained at 0.20 atm, the same as at sea level. What must be the percent by volume of oxygen in the gas mixture?

Answer:

4.525% is the percentage by volume of oxygen in the gas mixture.

Explanation:

Total pressure of the mixture = p = 4.42 atm

Partial pressure of the oxygen = p_1=0.20 atm

Partial pressure of the helium = p_2

p_1=p\times \chi_1 (Dalton law of partial pressure)

0.20 atm=4.42 atm\times \chi_1

\chi_1=\frac{0.20 atm}{4.42 atm}=0.04525

\chi_2=1-\chi_1=1-0.04525=0.95475

chi_1+chi_2=1

n_1=0.04525 mol,n_2=0.95475 mol

According Avogadro law:

Moles\propto Volume (At temperature and pressure)

Volume occupied by oxygen gas  =V_1

Total moles of gases = n = 1 mol

Total Volume of the gases = V

\frac{n_1}{V_1}=\frac{n}{V}

\frac{V_1}{V}=\frac{n_1}{n}=\frac{0.04525 mol}{1 mol}

Percent by volume of oxygen in the gas mixture:

\frac{V_1}{V}\times 100=\frac{0.04525 mol}{1 mol}\times 100=4.525\%

If you set up an experiment with two different independent variables, then the results would be_____.
MariettaO [177]

Answer: A) Inconclusive; you would not know which of the two variables caused the change.

Explanation:

When you set up an experiment, you must make sure that you control the variables such that only one independent variable changes at a time, while all the remainder conditions (the other independent variables) are controlled (fixed).

By observing (measuring) the dependent variable, while only one independent variable changes you can understandhow such independent variable explains (determines) the dependent variable, leading to a conclusion.

Conversely, if two or more independent variables change at a time, then there is no way that you can tell how the output (dependent variable) is related with one or other of the changes of the indipendent variables. You wolud not be able to discriminate (distinguish) the effect of one or other variable, making the experiment inconclusive

I really hope this answer helps you out! It makes my day helping people like you and giving back to the community that has helped me through school! If you could do me a favor, if this helped you and this is the very best answer and you understand that all of my answers are legit and top notch. Please mark as brainliest!

Small molecules that bind with self-proteins to produce antigenic substances are called ________. Small molecules that bind with
Leona [35]

Answer:

Haptens.

Explanation:

Haptens are known as small molecules that help to stimulate the production of antibody molecules when attached with a large molecule known as a carrier molecule such as proteins.

Haptens are used to study the mechanism of inflammatory bowel disease to help induce the autoimmune type of responses and allergic contact dermatitis.

Radioactive decay can be described by the following equation where is the original amount of the substance, is the amount of the
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Iron remains = 17.49 mg

Explanation:

Half life of iron -55 = 2.737 years (Source)

t_{1/2}=\frac {ln\ 2}{k}

Where, k is rate constant

So,  

k=\frac {ln\ 2}{t_{1/2}}

k=\frac {ln\ 2}{2.737}\ year^{-1}

The rate constant, k = 0.2533 year⁻¹

Time = 2.41 years

[A_0] = 32.2 mg

Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:

[A_t]=[A_0]e^{-kt}

Where,  

[A_t] is the concentration at time t

[A_0] is the initial concentration

So,  

[A_t]=32.2\times e^{-0.2533\times 2.41}\ mg

[A_t]=32.2\times e^{-0.610453}\ mg

[A_t]=17.49\ mg

<u>Iron remains = 17.49 mg</u>
