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

, and less would lead to suffocation. The total pressure, however, must be equal to the external pressure to avoid collapsing the lungs. A special valve is used to equalize the pressure inside the diver's lungs with the external pressure by adding helium gas. The valve also maintains oxygen levels by using Dalton's Law. If the total pressure in the cylinder is 1.00 atm, what is the pressure of the helium?

<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:

P_T=p_{He}+p_{O_2}

We are given:

Total pressure of the cylinder, P_T = 1.00 atm

Vapor pressure of oxygen gas, p_{O_2} = 0.20 atm

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1.00=p_{He}+0.20\\\\p_{He}=1.00-0.20=0.80atm

Hence, the partial pressure of helium gas is 0.80 atm

A student performs three trials of a titration of an acid with an unknown concentration. She compares her measured concentration
Viktor [21]

Answer:

There are many errors possible while titrating the acid of an unknown concentration with a base like NaOH.

Main error that leads to the error in results is misreading of the end point volume .

End point is when the reaction between the analyte and solution of known concentration has stopped .

Sometimes Burette is not straight enough to read the volume of the end point. One way to misread the volume of burette is by looking at the burette volume at an angle .

From above , volume seems to be higher. Indicators are used to indicate the color change of the reaction. In Acid-Base titrations , indicators first lighten up then changes its color.

So, error may have occurred in wrongly judging of the end point by color change of the indicator .

How can constraints be used to help define the problem?
vitfil [10]

Answer:

Constraints are restrictions that need to be placed upon variables 

Explanation:

Constraints are restrictions (limitations, boundaries) that need to be placed upon variables used in equations that model real-world situations. It is possible that certain solutions which make an equation true mathematically, may not make any sense in the context of a real-world word problem.

Why do scientists use models to study atoms?
umka2103 [35]
Because atoms are the small and can't be seen by your eyes. It is so small that scientists need to use a model. A model help scientists study things. So, scientists needs to study atoms using models.
