To calculate the new pressure, we can use Boyle’s law to relate these two scenarios (Boyle’s law is used because the temperature is assumed to remain constant). Boyle’s law is:
P1V1 = P2V2,
Where “P” is pressure and “V” is volume. The pressure and volume of the first scenario is 215 torr and 51 mL, respectively, and the second scenario has a volume of 18.5 L (18,500 mL) and the unknown pressure - let’s call that “x”. Plugging these into the equation:
(215 torr)(51 mL) =(“x” torr)(18,500 mL)
x = 0.593 torr
The final pressure exerted by the gas would be 0.593 torr.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
nitrogen monoxide: NO
nitrogen dioxide: NO₂
Explanation:
Nitrogen monoxide is composed by 1 atom of O (prefix "mono-") and 1 atom of N. Nitrogen dioxide is composed by 2 atoms of O (prefix "di-") and 1 atom of N. As the oxigen atom in oxides has the valency -2 (it shares 2 electrons), the nitrogen has valency +2 in NO and +4 in NO₂.
I think the answer is option 2
The organism could adapt over time and find another way to satisfy this need, it could move to a new location, or the organism could eventually die off.
