Answer: Partial pressure of nitrogen and xenon are 288mmHg and 548 mmHg respectively.

Explanation:

The partial pressure of a gas is given by Raoult's law, which is:

p_A=p_T\times \chi_A

where,

p_A = partial pressure of substance A

p_T = total pressure

\chi_A = mole fraction of substance A

We are given:

m_{N_2}=2.80g

m_{Xe}=24.9g

Mole fraction of a substance is given by:

\chi_A=\frac{n_A}{n_A+n_B}

And,

n_A=\frac{m_A}{M_A}

Mole fraction of nitrogen is given as:

\chi_{N_2}=\frac{\frac{m_{N_2}}{M_{N_2}}}{(\frac{m_{N_2}}{M_{N_2}}+\frac{m_{Xe}}{M_{Xe}})}

Molar mass of N_2 = 28 g/mol

Molar mass of Xe =  g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\chi_{N_2}=\frac{\frac{2.80}{28}}{\frac{2.80}{28}+\frac{24.9}{131}}

\chi_{N_2}=\frac{0.100}{0.100+0.190}=0.345

To calculate the mole fraction of xenon, we use the equation:

\chi_{Xe}+\chi_{N_2}=1\\\\\chi_{Xe}=1-0.345=0.655

p_{N_2}=836mmHg\times 0.345=288mmHg

p_{Xe}=836mmHg\times 0.655=548mmHg

Thus partial pressure of nitrogen and xenon are 288mmHg and 548 mmHg respectively.

A person standing a certain distance from four identical loudspeakers is hearing a sound level intensity of 125 dB. What sound l
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

\mathbf{\beta = 123.75 \ dB}

Explanation:

From the question, using the expression:

125 \ dB = 10 \ log (\dfrac{I}{I_o})

where;

I_o = 10^{-12} \ W/m^2

I = 10^{12.5} \times 10^{-12} \ W/m^2

I = 3.162 \ W/m^2

This is a combined intensity of 4 speakers.

Thus, the intensity of 3 speakers = \dfrac{3.162\times 3}{4}

= 2.372 W/m²

Thus;

\beta = 10 \  log ( \dfrac{2.372}{10^{-12}} ) \ W/m^2

\mathbf{\beta = 123.75 \ dB}

A 100 Kg man is diving off a 50 meter cliff. What is his kinetic energy when he is 20 meters from the water?
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

K.E=29.403125J

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Mass M=100

Height 50-20=30m

Generally the equation for velocity before impact is is is mathematically given by

v=\sqrt{2gh}

v=\sqrt{2*9.8*30}

v=24.25

Generally the equation for Kinetic Energy is is mathematically given by

K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

K.E=\frac{1}{2}*100*(24.25)^2\\

K.E=29403.125J

K.E=29.403125J

the diagram to the right shows an electrical wire. the arrow shows the direction of the current. what does “b” represent?
goblinko [34]

B represents the direction of the magnetic field around the wire

Explanation:

A wire carrying an electric current always produces a magnetic field around itself. The lines of the magnetic field produced by a current-carrying wires are concentric circles around the wire. The magnitude of the field is given by the formula:

B=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r}

where

\mu_0 is the vacuum permeability

I is the current in the wire

r is the distance from the wire

The direction of the field lines is given by the so-called right hand rule, shown in the figure. Basically, the thumb of the right hand is placed in the direction of the electric current, while the other fingers are "wrapped" around the thumb: the direction of the other fingers give the direction of the magnetic field lines.
