Answer:

The dissolving power of water is very important for life on Earth. Wherever water goes, it carries dissolved chemicals, minerals, and nutrients that are used to support living things. Because of their polarity, water molecules are strongly attracted to one another, which gives water a high surface tension.

The volume of air in a person’s lungs is 615 mL at a pressure of 760. mmHg. Inhalation occurs as the pressure in the lungs drops

chubhunter [2.5K]

<u>Answer:</u> The final volume of lungs is 621.5 mL

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the new volume, we use the equation given by Boyle's law. This law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature.

The equation given by this law is:

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2$

where,

$P_1\text{ and }V_1$ are initial pressure and volume.

$P_2\text{ and }V_2$ are final pressure and volume.

We are given:

$P_1=760mmHg\\V_1=615mL\\P_2=752mmHg\\V_2=?mL$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$760mmHg\times 615mL=752mmHg\times V_2\\\\V_2=\frac{760\times 615}{752}=621.5mL$

Hence, the final volume of lungs is 621.5 mL

What mass of potassium chloride, KCl, is produced when 12.6 g of oxygen, 02, is produced?

blagie [28]

Mass of KCl= 19.57 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

12.6 g of Oxygen

Required

mass of KCl

Solution

Reaction

2KClO3 ⇒ 2KCl + 3O2

mol O2 :

= mass : MW

= 12.6 : 32 g/mol

= 0.39375

From the equation, mol KCl :

= 2/3 x mol O2

= 2/3 x 0.39375

=0.2625

Mass KCl :

= mol x MW

= 0.2625 x 74,5513 g/mol

= 19.57 g
