Answer : The formic acid pressure is, 99 torr

Explanation :

The given chemical reaction is:

                            HCOOH(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)+H_2(g)

Initial pressure        a                   0              0

At time 't'                (a-x)                 x              x

According to the Dalton's law,

P_{Total}=P_{HCOOH}+P_{CO_2}+P_{H_2}

P_{Total}=(a-x)+x+x=a+x    .........(1)

As we are given that:

Initial pressure = a = 220 torr

P_{Total}=319torr

Now put the value of 'a' in equation 1, we get:

P_{Total}=a+x

319torr=220torr+x

x=99torr

Thus, the formic acid pressure is, 99 torr

san4es73 [151]

Answer: The ratio of the number of oxygen molecules to the number of nitrogen molecules in these flasks is 1: 1

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, equal volumes of all gases at same temperature and pressure have equal number of moles.

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles.

Thus as oxygen and nitrogen are at same temperature and pressure and are in equal volume flasks , they have same number of moles and thus have same number of molecules.

The ratio of the number of oxygen molecules to the number of nitrogen molecules in these flasks is 1: 1

What type of bonds exist in a molecule of water? Polar covalent bonds ionic bonds hydrogen bonds van der waals non polar covalen
Aleksandr [31]
Polar covalent bonds (because hydrogen and oxygen form polar bonds and are both nonmetals so it's covalent) and hydrogen bonds (because the water molecules are attracted to each other with partial charges, causing specific properties like surface tension).

So in my very bad drawing that I attached in case you're more a visual learner, the d- and d+ show the partial charges of hydrogen and oxygen (making it polar, as the electrons in the bond are more shifted towards oxygen, which is why oxygen has a negative sign) and the yellow dotted line show the hydrogen bonds.
