The solubility of o2 at 20c is 1.38 x10^-3. the partial presure of o2 in the air at sea level is 0.27 atm. using henery;s law, c

netineya [11]

<u>Answer:</u> The solubility of oxygen at 682 torr is $4.58\times 10^{-3}M$

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the molar solubility, we use the equation given by Henry's law, which is:

$C_{A}=K_H\times p_{A}$

Or,

$\frac{C_{1}}{C_{2}}=\frac{p_{1}}{p_2}$

where,

$C_1\text{ and }p_1$ are the initial concentration and partial pressure of oxygen gas

$C_2\text{ and }p_2$ are the final concentration and partial pressure of oxygen gas

We are given:

Conversion factor used: 1 atm = 760 torr

$C_1=1.38\times 10^{-3}M\\p_1=0.27atm\\C_2=?\\p_2=682torr=0.897atm$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\frac{1.38\times 10^{-3}}{C_2}=\frac{0.27atm}{0.897atm}\\\\C_2=\frac{1.38\times 10^{-3}\times 0.897atm}{0.27atm}=4.58\times 10^{-3}M$

Hence, the solubility of oxygen gas at 628 torr is $4.58\times 10^{-3}M$

What is one way water moves through the nonliving parts of an ecosystem during the water system?

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

Water moves through the help of living organisms in an ecosystem. ... Plants absorbs water through their root system and loss by transpiration. Water also moves through the living organisms in an ecosystem. Other nonliving processes such as evaporation, precipitation, water returns back into the atmosphere.

Leah is trying to determine how music affects the growth of plants. She hypothesizes that classical music will cause a plant to

Pani-rosa [81]

Leah's experiment:
A. Takes careful and regular measurements (she measures the growth every day)
B. Has a specific hypothesis and a controlled experiment (the music is the only changing variable, the growth conditions are identical, and this is what she wants to test in her hypothesis)
C. Experimental data that can be recorded and analyzed (measuring the growth of plant fits this)

So the answer must be D, since there is no mention of past research that scientists have found on this topic.
