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\%

How do you solve the level of a liquid in a graduated cylinder
Nezavi [6.7K]
Don’t really understand what you’re asking but, if you’re asking how to read a graduated cylinder:

Look at the graduated cylinder at eye level, find the meniscus, whatever the meniscus is at is your answer.
