he easiest way to see parallax is to hold out your finger vertically in front of a background object, a door or wall for example. Shut your right eye and note where on the background object the image of your finger appears. Now open your right eye and close the left one without moving your finger. The image of your finger should appear to have jumped to a different spot on the background wall. It is possible to tell how far away your finger is from your eyes just by measuring the distance between your eyes and the distance that the image appeared to move in degrees of arc.

If 120.3 mL of water is shaken with oxygen gas at 2.1 atm, it will dissolve 0.0043 g O2. Estimate the Henry's law constant for t

nikklg [1K]

Answer: The Henry's law constant for oxygen gas in water is $1.702\times 10^{-5}g/mL.atm$

Explanation:

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

$C_{O_2}=K_H\times p_{O_2}$

where,

$K_H$ = Henry's constant = ?

$C_{O_2}$ = solubility of oxygen gas = $0.0043g/120.3mL$

$p_{O_2$ = partial pressure of oxygen gas = 2.1 atm

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.0043g/120.3mL=K_H\times 2.1atm\\\\K_H=\frac{0.0043g}{120.3mL\times 2.1atm}=1.702\times 10^{-5}g/mL.atm$

Hence, the Henry's law constant for oxygen gas in water is $1.702\times 10^{-5}g/mL.atm$

Explanation:

When a beaker of ethanoic acid is placed in the refrigerator, its temperature drops and the vessel feels cool.

Now, when we mix ethanoic acid and sodium carbonate, an endothermic reaction occurs, fizzing is observed as carbon dioxide is given off and heat is lost to the surroundings causing the reaction vessel to feel cool to touch.

The difference between putting ethanoic acid in the refrigerator and adding sodium carbonate to the solution is that, in the former, no new substance is formed. The substance remains ethanoic acid when retrieved from the refrigerator. In the later case, new substances are formed. The substance is no more ethanoic acid because a chemical reaction has taken place.

A chemist is studying the following reaction: NO + NO2 ⇌ N2O3. She places a mixture of NO and NO2 in a sealed container and meas

Answer:

The reaction will continue in the forward direction until all the NO or all the NO₂ is used up.

Explanation:

Le Châtelier's principle states that when there is an dynamic equilibrium, and this equilibrium is disturbed by an external factor, the equilibrium will be shifted in the direction that can cancel the effect of the external factor to reattain the equilibrium.

So, according to Le Chatelier's principle, removing the product (N₂O₃) from the system means decreasing the concentration of the products; thus, the reaction will proceed forward to produce more product to minimize the stress of removing N₂O₃ from the system.
