<span>Air pressure is caused by the weight of the air molecules above. Even tiny air molecules have some weight, and the huge numbers of airmolecules that make up the layers of our atmosphere collectively have a great deal of weight, which presses down on whatever is below.</span>

  • Using Dimensional Analysis
  • Avogadro's Number - 6.022 × 10²³ atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

8.63 × 10³ atoms Li

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Avogadro's Number

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

  1. Set up:                              \displaystyle 8.63 \cdot 10^3 \ atoms \ Li(\frac{1 \ mol \ Li}{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ atoms \ Li})
  2. Multiply/Divide:                \displaystyle 1.43355 \cdot 10^{-20} \ moles \ Li

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.</em>

1.43355 × 10⁻²⁰ mol Li ≈ 1.43 × 10⁻²⁰ mol Li

Air is about 78.0% nitrogen molecules and 21.0% oxygen molecules. Several other gases make up the remaining 1% of air molecules.
kherson [118]

Answer:

The partial pressure of the other gases is 0.009 atm

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Air is about 78.0% nitrogen molecules and 21.0% oxygen molecules and 1% of other gases.

The atmospheric pressure = 0.90 atm

Step 2: Calculate mol fraction

If wehave  100  moles of air, 78 moles will be nitrogen,

21  moles will be  oxygen, and  1  mol will be other gases.

Mol fraction = 1/100 = 0.01

Step 3: Calculate the partial pressure of the other gases

Pgas = Xgas * Ptotal

⇒ Pgas = the partial pressure = ?

⇒ Xgas = the mol fraction of the gas = 0.01

⇒Ptotal = the total pressure of the pressure = 0.90 atm

Pgas = 0.01 * 0.90 atm

Pgas = 0.009 atm

The partial pressure of the other gases is 0.009 atm

Hii pls helpnme to write out the ionic equation ​
Oxana [17]

Answer:

CO32-(aq) + 2H+(aq) → CO2(g) + H2O(l)

Explanation:

According to this question, sodium carbonate reacts with sulfuric acid to form aqueous sodium sulfate, carbon dioxide and water. The balanced chemical equation is as follows:

Na2CO3(aq) + H2SO4(aq) → Na2SO4(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)

- Next, split compounds that are aqueous into ions.

2Na+(aq) + CO32-(aq) + 2H+(aq) + SO42-(aq) → 2Na+(aq) + SO42-(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)

- Next, we cancel out the spectator ions, which are ions that remain the same in the reactants and products side of a chemical reaction. The spectator ions in this equation are 2Na+(aq) and SO42-(aq).

CO32-(aq) + 2H+(aq) → CO2(g) + H2O(l)

- Hence, the balanced ionic equation is as follows:

CO32-(aq) + 2H+(aq) → CO2(g) + H2O(l)
