12 times breathe give 240 ml of pure O_{2}. Each breathe gives 20 ml of O_{2}.

Let us consider, volume of air per breathe= x ml.

Pure O_{2} from inhaled air= \frac{20}{100}x ml and Pure O_{2} from exhaled air= \frac{16}{100}x ml.

Pure O_{2} from inhaled and exhaled air= 20 ml

So, \frac{20}{100}x + \frac{16}{100}x = 20

Therefore, x = 55.5 ml

So, volume of air per breath= 55.5 ml.

Under what conditions of temperature and pressure is a gas least soluble in water
snow_tiger [21]

The conditions of temperature and pressure in which a gas least soluble in water is low pressure and high temperature.

<h3>What is Henry Law?</h3>

The amount of dissolved gas in a liquid is proportional to its partial pressure above the liquid, according to Henry's law.

From this law it is clear that:

  • As the pressure of the gas increases solubility of the gas on the liquid also increases.

But if the temperature of the liquid decreases then the solubility of the gas also increases.

Hence at low pressure and high temperature, gas is least soluble.

Water's ability to dissolve a wide variety of molecules is important, but more important is the hydrophobic effect, which drives
Sliva [168]

Answer:

d. Hydrophobic molecules are attracted to each other.

Explanation:

The term “hydrophobic effect” is associated with the spontaneous tendency of macromolecules, such as proteins, to prefer a conformation in an aqueous medium, with hydrophobic groups facing the interior of the mac romolecule, favoring attractive intramolecular interactions, and hydrophilic groups exposed on the surface, for maximize interactions with water molecules in the medium. This is because the hydrophobic molecules are attracted to each other, allowing them to turn inward.

What is freshly pumped oil called?
algol13

Answer:

When the drill hits oil, some of the oil rises from the ground high into the air. This immediate release of oil is known as a "gusher." Once a reservoir has been located, pumps are used to extract the oil.

Identify the neutral element represented by this excited-state electron configuration, then write the ground-state electron conf
sineoko [7]

Answer:

1s² 2s² 2p³

Nitrogen

Explanation:

Excited state configuration: 1s² 2s² 2p² 3s¹

Unknown:

Ground state configuration = ?

Element symbol = ?

Solution:

Let us start by understanding what a ground state configuration entails:

A ground state configuration shows the lowest allowed energy levels of an atom. The excited state denotes when electrons have moved to higher energy levels away from their ground state.

The superscript in the configuration depicts the number of electrons in each of the sublevels.

We can use this number to identify the atom we are dealing with:

 Total number of electrons = 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 7 electrons

The element with 7 electrons on the periodic table is Nitrogen.

Now, the ground state configuration:

In writing the electronic configuration of an atom, certain rules must be complied with.

  • Aufbau's principle states that the sublevels with lower energies are filled up before those with higher energies. The order of filling is:

        1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s etc

To fill the s-orbital = 2 electrons

                p-orbital = 6 electrons

The outermost shell electrons are usually the ones excited.

  Now, the 3s¹ shell is an excited one taking 1 electron from the second energy level;

 The ground state configuration is 1s² 2s² 2p³
