Answer:
1) 2.054 x 10⁻⁴ mol/L.
2) Decreasing the temperature will increase the solubilty of O₂ gas in water.
Explanation:
1) The solubility of O₂ gas in water:
- We cam calculate the solubility of O₂ in water using Henry's law: <em>Cgas = K P</em>,
- where, Cgas is the solubility if gas,
- K is henry's law constant (K for O₂ at 25 ̊C is 1.3 x 10⁻³ mol/l atm),
- P is the partial pressure of O₂ (P = 120 torr / 760 = 0.158 atm).
- Cgas = K P = (1.3 x 10⁻³ mol/l atm) (0.158 atm) = 2.054 x 10⁻⁴ mol/L.
2) The effect of decreasing temperature on the solubility O₂ gas in water:
- Decreasing the temperature will increase the solubilty of O₂ gas in water.
- When the temperature increases, the solubility of O₂ gas in water will decrease because the increase in T will increase the kinetic energy of gas particles and increase its motion that will break intermolecular bonds and escape from solution.
- Decreasing the temperature will increase the solubility of O₂ gas in water will because the kinetic energy of gas particles will decrease and limit its motion that can not break the intermolecular bonds and increase the solubility of O₂ gas.
The oxidation numbers for Nitrogen are respectively -3, +5, +4
Explanation:
Air has a heat capacity of about 700 Joules per kg per °K and a density of just 1.2 kg/m3, so its initial energy would be 700 x 1 x 1.2 x 293 = 246,120 Joules
