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\%

10. (2 points) What is the process by which a solute forms a solution in a solvent. A) calisthenics B) bumping C) dissolution D)
Triss [41]

Answer: (C) Dissolution is the process by which a solute form a solution in a solvent.

Explanation: Dissolution can be described as the process by which a solute dissolves in a solvent to give a solvent.

The solute may be a solid, liquid or gas and solvent is usually a liquid but can also be liquid, gas or supercritical fluid. The most common solvent is water and it is referred to as the universal solvent.

Example are:

1.Stirring of sugar in water.

In this case the solute is the sugar and the solvent is water.

2.Organic substances dissolves readily in solvent like kerosene and benzene and they are known as non-polar solvent while the organic substances are the solute

What is the purpose of the periodic table?
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

the periodic table is important because it is organized to provide a alot of information about elements and how they relate to one another in one easy-to-use reference. The table can be used to predict the properties of elements, even those that have not yet been discovered.
