Answer: The total pressure of air in lungs of an individual is 760.28 mm Hg

Explanation:

According to Dalton's law, the total pressure is the sum of individual pressures.

p_{total}=p_A+p_B+p_C...

Given : p_{total} =total pressure of gases = ?

p_{O_2} = partial pressure of oxygen = 100 mm Hg

p_{N_2} = partial pressure of nitrogen = 573 mm Hg

p_{CO_2} = partial pressure of Carbon dioxide = 0.053 atm = 40.28 mm Hg(1 atm = 760 mmHg)

p_{H_2O} = partial pressure of water vapor = 47 torr = 47 mm Hg  (1torr=1 mm Hg)

putting in the values we get:

p_{total}=(100+573+40.28+47)mmHg

p_{total}=760.28mmHg

Thus the total pressure of air in lungs of an individual is 760.28 mm Hg

How did humans and animals adapt/survive to hurricane Katrina? AND Give examples of organisms that could not adapt/survive? PLS
guajiro [1.7K]
Some organisms that could not survive where cats, dogs, birds, horses, fish, cows, every animal that was in hurricane Katrina was affected by it. Some of these animals were able to survive and others were rescued from near death.
Most of the animals could not adapt to this change because they are not used to this type of change. The water was too strong for the fish and when the water brought the fish into any water/sea animal there was also medal because the water in through peoples houses (pretty much the man-made stuff that's not meant for sea is killing the animals in the water). 
Any animal that was left behind was affected. The animals could not adapt to this change they have never experienced something that tragic before, how they survived? Well, the animals that survived was mainly because of there natural instinct, before an earthquake or anything hits there are many animals that can sense the storm coming before it even hits and in this situation, the animal could, wake up, run to owner, flee, run to higher ground, and if they cant sense it. They see whats going on around them and then they know something is wrong.

If there were an element above fluorine in the periodic table what phase would you expect it to be in (at room temp)?
AysviL [449]

If there were an element above fluorine, its state would be a gas. This is because fluorine is located in the non-metal section of the periodic table which can all be found as a gas at room temperature.

Plutonium-240 decays according to the function \[Q(t)=Q _{o}e ^{-kt}\] where Q represents the quantity remaining after t years a
marishachu [46]
To answer the question above, substitute the given values to the given equation,
                                   Q(t) = Q x e^-kt
  
                          12 grams = (36 grams) x e^(-0.00011)(t)

Solving for t gives t = 9,987.38 years or approximately equal to 9,990 years. Thus, the answer is letter C.
