Answer:

Methane

Explanation:

If you lived in Alaska, the natural gas that you would be able to keep in an outdoor storage tank in winter would be methane. The melting point of methane is -183ºC, while the boiling point is -164ºC. These temperatures are much lower than the average temperatures of Alaska (the lowest temperature ever recorded in Anchorage was −38.9 °C).

Answer:

Methane

Explanation:

The gas that you could keep in an outdoor storage tank in winter in Alaska is Methane.

The reason is the extreme low temperature during the winter. The boiling point of butane is 44 ºF ( -1ºC) and that of propane is a higher -43.6 º F but still within the range of average minimum winter temperature in Alaska (-50 ªF). Therefore we will have condensation in the tanks and not enough gas pressure.

Methane having  a boling point  of  -259 ºF will not condense at the low wintertime temperatures in Alaska.

What is the total pressure of air in lungs of an individual with oxygen at 100. mmHg, nitrogen at 573 mmHg, carbon dioxide at 0.
ryzh [129]

Answer: The total pressure of air in lungs of an individual is 760.28 mm Hg

Explanation:

According to Dalton's law, the total pressure is the sum of individual pressures.

p_{total}=p_A+p_B+p_C...

Given : p_{total} =total pressure of gases = ?

p_{O_2} = partial pressure of oxygen = 100 mm Hg

p_{N_2} = partial pressure of nitrogen = 573 mm Hg

p_{CO_2} = partial pressure of Carbon dioxide = 0.053 atm = 40.28 mm Hg(1 atm = 760 mmHg)

p_{H_2O} = partial pressure of water vapor = 47 torr = 47 mm Hg  (1torr=1 mm Hg)

putting in the values we get:

p_{total}=(100+573+40.28+47)mmHg

p_{total}=760.28mmHg

Thus the total pressure of air in lungs of an individual is 760.28 mm Hg

How might society have been most likely impacted if Nikola Tesla, the inventor of AC technology, had not become a scientist?
Nonamiya [84]
Cars might not be as insulated and as safe  because of the need to get cooler air into the vehicle, and im not fully sure but refrigerators would still run on ice to cool food. Houses wouldnt be as insulated from heat so when winter came around you would be colder than normal  <span />
