<span> A huge meteor struck the earth and caused the chemicals to change.</span>
The decomposition of so3 to so2 gas and o2 gas can be described in the balanced chemical equation:
2so3(g) = 2 so2 (g) + 02(g).
so assuming a complete reaction, the ratio of so2 gas to total products is 2/3 while that of 02 is 1/3.
Subtracting water's water vapor pressure, 760-40 mm hG = 720 mm Hg.
then the products partial pressures are
so2 = 2/3 * (720) = 480 mm Hg.
o2 = 720-480 = 240 mm Hg.
In Thomson's cathode-ray experiment,<span>He sucked all of the air out of the tube, so only the ray was inside. He then concluded that the ray was negatively charged because the ray came from the cathode ray and went to the positively charged anode ray, so the cathode had to be negative or else it would have deflected away from the anode.
Hope this helped ! Let me know if you need more information ! :)</span>
