The scientific method is defined as a method of research in which a problem is identified, relevant data is gathered, a hypothesis is formulated from this data, and the hypothesis is empirically tested.
We are asked to convert from units of kilometer per second to units of miles per year. To do this, we need a conversion factor which would relate the different units involved. We either multiply or divide this certain value to the original measurement depending on what is asked. From literature, we will find that 1 mile is equal to 1609 meters and 1000 m is equal to 1 kilometer. Also, we will find that 3600 s is equal to 1 hr, 24 hr is equal to 1 day and 365 days is equal to 1 year. We do the conversion as follows:
3.8 km / s ( 1000 m / 1 km ) ( 1 mile / 1609 meters ) ( 3600 s / 1 hr ) ( 24 hr / 1 day ) ( 365 days / 1 year ) = 74479055.3 miles per year
Answer: 67 mmHg
Explanation:
According to Dalton's Gas Law, the total pressure of a mixture of gases is the sum of the pressure of each individual gas.
i.e Ptotal = P1 + P2 + P3 + .......
In this case,
Ptotal = 512 mmHg
P(oxygen) = 332 mmHg
P(carbon mono-oxide) = 113 mmHg
Remaining pressure (P3) = ?
To get P3, apply Dalton's Gas Law formula
Ptotal = P(oxygen) + P(carbon mono-oxide) + P3
512 mmHg = 332 mmHg + 113 mmHg + P3
512 mmHg = 445 mmHg + P3
P3 = 512 mmHg - 445 mmHg
P3 = 67 mmHg
Thus, the remaining pressure is 67 mmHg
