V = maximum capacity of human lung = 3 liter = 3 x 0.001 m³ = 0.003 m³      (Since 1 liter = 0.001 m³)

P = pressure of oxygen = 21.1 kilo pascal = 21.1 x 1000 = 21100 Pa      (since 1 kilo = 1000)

T = temperature of air = 295 K

n = number of moles of oxygen

Using the ideal gas equation

PV = n RT

inserting the above values in the equation

(21100) (0.003) = n (8.314) (295)

n = 0.026 moles

What system of units is used by only a small number of countries in the world, including the U.S.?
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

The correct answer is the imperial system.

Explanation:

Only three countries in the world, that is, the United States, Myanmar, and Liberia use the imperial system. These include measurements in the form of inches, ounces, Fahrenheit, and feet. In the imperial system, the distances, height, weight, or area measurements are used eventually that traced back to everyday items or parts of the body.  

In comparison to other metric systems, the units used in the imperial system are not further differentiated easily into parts of hundreds or thousands, and are thus, regarded of less use in comparison to other metric systems by some. The real follower of the imperial system at present in the world is the United States.

Iron reacts with cl2 according to the equation 2 fe(s) + 3 cl2(g) ? 2 fecl3(s). how many moles of cl2 is needed to react with 4.
IceJOKER [234]
2Fe + 3Cl₂ ---> 2FeCl₃

4.4mol of Fe, you have a 2:3 ratio of Fe to Cl₂ so divide 4.4/2 = 2.2 and multiply by three 2.2 x 3 = 6.6mol of Cl₂

hope that helps :)

The volume of a Goodyear Blimp is 2.5x10^7 L, which is occupied by 1.7x10^6 mol of helium. What is the internal pressure of the
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

1.7 bar

Explanation:

We can use the <em>Ideal Gas Law</em> to calculate the individual gas pressure.

pV = nRT     Divide both sides by V

 p = (nRT)/V

Data:   n = 1.7 × 10⁶ mol

R = 0.083 14 bar·L·K⁻¹mol⁻¹

T = 22 °C

V = 2.5 × 10⁷ L

Calculations:

(a) <em>Change the temperature to kelvins </em>

T = (22 + 273.15) K

  = 295.15 K

(b) Calculate the pressure

p = (1.7 × 10⁶ × 0.083 14 × 295.15)/(2.5× 10⁷)

  = 1.7 bar

If the half-life of a radioisotope is 10,000 years, the amount remaining after 20,000 years is
Cloud [144]

Answer:

Considering the half-life of 10,000 years, after 20,000 years we will have a fourth of the remaining amount.

Explanation:

The half-time is the time a radioisotope takes to decay and lose half of its mass. Therefore, we can make the following scheme to know the amount remaining after a period of time:

Time_________________ Amount

t=0_____________________x

t=10,000 years____________x/2

t=20,000 years___________x/4

During the first 10,000 years the radioisotope lost half of its mass. After 10,000 years more (which means 2 half-lives), the remaining amount also lost half of its mass. Therefore, after 20,000 years, the we will have a fourth of the initial amount.
