The gas that a diver breathes must be maintained at a partial pressure of 0.20 atm of oxygen. More oxygen could poison the diver
1 answer:
<u>Answer:</u> The partial pressure of helium gas is 0.80 atm
<u>Explanation:</u>
Dalton's law of partial pressure states that the total pressure of the system is equal to the sum of partial pressure of each component present in it.
To calculate the partial pressure of helium gas, we use the law given by Dalton, which is:
We are given:
Total pressure of the cylinder, = 1.00 atm
Vapor pressure of oxygen gas, = 0.20 atm
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the partial pressure of helium gas is 0.80 atm

Answer: Correct name will be is aluminum bromide
Explanation:
In a molecular formula ,
Aluminium atoms present = 1
Bromine atoms present = 3
Charge on aluminium is +3 and charge on bromine is -1.
While naming:
- Name of the cation is written first. Simple name of the element is written
- After name of cation name of an anions written with suffix 'ide' in the end.
So, the name of will be aluminium bromide.
Answer:
In the kinetic molecular theory, the molecules of an ideal gas are in constant random motion inside the container of the gas, and the pressure of the gas (which is the pressure exerted by the molecules in their collisions with the walls of the container) arise from this random motion of the molecules.
The main assumptions of the kinetic theory of gases are:
- The gas consists of a large number of molecules that collide between each other and the walls of the container; all these collisions are elastic
- The duration of the collisions is negligible compared to the time between the collisions
- The number of molecules is so large that statistics can be applied
- Intermolecular forces between the molecules are negligible (except during the collisions)
- The volume of the molecules is negligible compared to the volume of the container
In particular, the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of the molecules, according to the equation:
where
p is the pressure of the gas
V is the volume of the container
K is the average kinetic energy of the molecules in the gas
We see that as the pressure is higher, the higher the kinetic energy of the particles: this means that the molecules will move faster, on average.
Therefore in this problem, the gas that exerts a pressure of 1.5 atm will have molecules moving faster than the molecules of the gas exerting a pressure of only 1.0 atm.
