why is the concentration of helium increased in some gas mixtures that divers breath in order to reduce the partial pressure of

oxygen?

Answer:

Because of oxygen toxicity.

Explanation:

Oxygen toxicity.

Oxygen has been known to cause central nervous system (CNS) toxicity when the pressure gets higher. This toxicity can cause convulsions, and this can cause the diver to drown.

The current standard maximum safe oxygen working pressure is 1.4 atm ppO2. This is equal to 56.5m/185′ when breathing air (21% O2 / 79% N). Below that depth the fraction of oxygen in a breathing gas must be reduced, and in order to maintain this maximum pressure of 1.4 ppO2, Helium must be added.

Alja [10]

Answer:

Mo(CO)5 is the intermediate in this reaction mechanism.

Explanation:

The reaction mechanism describes the sequence of elementary reactions that must occur to go from reactants to products. Reaction intermediates are formed in one step and then consumed in a later step of the reaction mechanism.

In this reaction mechanism, Mo(CO)5 is the product of 1st reaction and then it is used as a reactant in 2nd reaction. So, Mo(CO)5 is the reaction intermediates.

The overall balanced equation would be,

Mo(CO)6 + P(CH3) ↔ CO + Mo(CO)5 +  P(CH3)3

What volume will 20.0g of Argon occupy at STP?
Yuki888 [10]
Molar mass Argon = 39.948 g/mol

1 mol ------ 39.948 g
  mol ----- 20.0 g 

mol = 20.0 * 1 / 39.948

= 0.5006 moles

1 mol --------------------- 22.4 L ( at STP )
0.5006 moles ------------- L 

L = 0.5006 * 22.4

= 11.21 L

hope this helps!

Answer:

*  W=1142.86Joule

*  Q=997.7J

*  H=2140.5J

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Temperature T=337K

Pressure P=(60-55)Pa*10^5

VolumeV=(1.6-1.4)m^3*10^{-3}

Generally the equation for gas Constant is mathematically given by

\frac{P_2}{P_1}=\frac{V_1}{V_2}^n

 \frac{55*10^5}{60*10^5}=\frac{1.4*10^{-3}}{1.6*10^{-3}}^n

 n=0.65

Therefore

Work-done

 W=\int{pdv}

 W=\frac{55*10^5*1.6*10^{-3}*60*10^5*1.4*10^{-3}}{1-0.65}

 W=1142.86Joule

Generally the equation for internal energy is mathematically given by

 Q=mC_vdT\\\\Q=\frac{3*1*3.314*16}{1.4-1}

 Q=997.7J

Therefore

 H=Q+W

 H=997.7J-11.42.9

 H=2140.5J

at standard pressure, what is the temperature at which a saturated solution of NH4Cl has a concentration of 60g NH4CL/100 g H2O
Nataliya [291]

Answer: Temperature = T, unknown

Saturated Solution, NH4Cl concentration = 60g/100g H2O = 0.6g NH4Cl/g H2O

Assume density of H2O = 1 g/ml

m = 0.6g NH4Cl/g H2O / 1 g/ml

m = 0.6g NH4Cl/ml

See the table of saturated solutions and identify the temperature at which the concentration of NH4Cl is 60g/100g H2O.

Explanation:  The line on the graph on reference table G indicates a saturated solution of NH4CL as a concentration of 60. g NH4 Cl/100. g H2O
