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

Atoms of which element below are most likely to gain electrons?
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

Carbon and phosphorus

Explanation:

The atoms of carbon and phosphorus are most likely to gain electrons from the given choices .

The reason for this is because, both carbon and phosphorus are non-metals. Most non-metals usually accept electrons.

Metals are usually electron donors .

  • Metals are known for their electropositivity which is their ability to lose electrons.
  • Non-metals are electronegative and will tend to have a strong affinity for electrons.

Compare the viscosity property of solid and liquid. ​
Nitella [24]

Answer

There is nothing like viscosity in solid because most of the solids usually have a rigid body. This is due to strong intermolecular forces. And it is due to this strong force between the molecules that they are unable to move and they remain fixed at their position. Some solids such as graphite which have layered structure, don't possess the property of viscosity, because of the strong force between the layers.

Explanation:

Viscosity is the property of a fluid that opposes the relative motion between two surfaces of the fluid that are moving at different velocities. In simple terms, viscosity means friction between the molecules of fluid.

FOR EXAMPLE

water is "thin", having a low viscosity, while vegetable oil is "thick" having a high viscosity

Ammonia, NH3, can be made by reacting nitrogen and the equation is N2 + 3H2 --> 2NH3 How many moles of NH3 can be made if 18
alukav5142 [94]
N2 + 3 H2 -> 2 NH3 
<span>Just use their stoichiometric coefficients (number before the chemical's name) from the balanced chemical reaction to make ratios and solve for the unknown. In this case, 2 moles of NH3 are produced for every 3 moles of H2. Thus, </span>
<span>7.5 moles H2 x (2 moles NH3 / 3 moles H2) = 5 moles NH3
