Dry air is 78.08% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen and 0.93% argon with the 0.04% being other gases. if the atmospheric pressure is 760.0

torr, what is the partial pressure of nitrogen in dry air?

Explanation:

Let us assume that volume of air present is 100.

So, when 78.08% nitrogen is present then it means that volume of nitrogen is 78.08.

Similarly, volume of oxygen is 20.95, volume of argon is 0.93 and volume of other gases is 0.04.

Hence, calculate the mole fraction of given gases as follows.

         Mole fraction of N_{2} = \frac{78.08}{100}

                                               = 0.7808

         Mole fraction of O_{2} = \frac{20.95}{100}

                                               = 0.2095

        Mole fraction of Ar = \frac{0.93}{100}

                                               = 0.0093

        Mole fraction of other gases = \frac{0.04}{100}

                                               = 0.0004

As the mole fraction of nitrogen is 0.7808 and total pressure is 760.0 torr. Therefore, calculate the partial pressure of nitrogen as follows.

                         p_{i} = x_{i} \times P_{total}

                                      = 0.7808 \times 760 torr

                                       = 593.408 torr

Therefore, we can conclude that the partial pressure of nitrogen in dry air is 593.408 torr.

Partial pressure (N2) = mole fraction * total pressure
 
{    1 mole of any ideal gas occupy same volume of 1 mole of any other ideal gas under same condition of temperature and pressure so mole fraction in the sample is simply 78.08%   =   0.7808   this is because equal volume of each gas has equal moles

partial pressure N2 = 0.7808 * 760 .0
partial pressure =  593.4 mmhg    (   1 torr = 1mmhg  )

What is the concentration in molarity of S2O32- (aq) in a solution prepared by mixing 150 mLmL of 0.149 MM Na2S2O3 (aq) with eno
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

0.0890 M

Explanation:

Since the concentration of KCl is irrelevant in this case, the concentration of Na2S2O3 can be determined using a simple dilution equation:

C1V1 = C2V2, where C1 = 0.149 M, V1 = 150 mL, V2 = 250 mL

C2 = 0.149 x 150/250

                    = 0.089 M

To determine the concentration of  S2O32- (aq), consider the equation:

Na_2S_2O_3  => 2Na^+_{(aq)} + S_2O^2^-_3_{(aq)}

The concentration of Na2S2O3 and S2O32- (aq) is 1:1

Hence, the concentration in molarity of S2O32- (aq) is 0.089 M.

To 3 significant figures = 0.0890 M

If a body does not have enough potassium, how might that affect neuronal firing?
astraxan [27]

Potassium is fundamental for neuron activity. If a body does not have enough potassium, then the neuron will struggle to fire because there will not be enough positively charged ions to trigger the firing of the neuron.

The potassium (K+) is maintained at a high level within the neuron at rest, whereas sodium (Na+) is maintained at a high level outside of the cell.

Neurons contain K+ and Na+ leakage channels that allow the two ions to diffuse in favor of a concentration gradient.

Depolarization opens both K+ and Na+ channels in the membrane, thereby these ions can flow out and into the axon, respectively.
