Answers:

    c. oxygen gas

    d. chlorine gas

    e. hydrogen gas


Justification:


Single displacement reactions are those reactions in which the atoms of one element substitute (replace or displace) the atoms of other element in a compound.


The representación of this ind of reactions is:

  • A + BX → AX + B: the atoms of the element A displace the atoms of the element B in the compound BX. As result, the element B stands separated after the reaction.

The conditions for a single displacemente reactions are:

  • One single element react with a compound
  • The reactant single element will form part of a new compound
  • One single element is removed from the compound
  • The one single element removed from the compound stands as a separated product.
  • It is a more active element displaces a less active element from the compound.

In the giiven statement, the element displaced will be as a gaseous product.


Ammonia is not a single element, but the compound with the formula NH₃, so it is not the result of a single displacement reaction, and it is not a possibility (discarded)


Air is not either a single element nor a compound, so it is not the result of a single displacemente reaction, and it is not a possibility (discarded).


Since oxygen is one of the most reactive non-metal elements, oxygen gas is usually the result of a decomposition reaction and not of a single displacement reaction.


Decomposition reactions are those in which a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler substances (elements and/or compounds). Some examples of decompositon reaction in which oxygen gas evolves as a product are:


  • The decomposition of water into hydrogen and oxygen gases.
  • The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to form oxygen gas and water.
  • The decomposition of solid potassium chlorate to form solid potassum chloride and oxygen gas.

Nevertheless, fluorine is more active than oxygen, and so it can oxidises water according to this single replacement reaction:

  • 2F₂ + 2H₂O → 4HF + O₂↑

As you see, fluorine displaces oxygen, so this is one of the right choices.


Regarding chlorine, being it less active than fluorine (fluorine is the most active halogen and the most active gas) you can predict without doubt that it can be displaced by flouorine. And so, chloringe gas is a right choice too.


The evolution hydrogen gas is a typical example of single displacement reactions and can be seen in this example:

  • 2Li(s) + 2H₂O → 2LiOH + H₂(g)↑

Hence, hydrogen gas is one of the right options.


Conclusion: we have tested the choices one by one and the result is that the possibilities of the composition of those gas bubbles are:

   c.oxygen gas

    d.chlorine gas

    e. hydrogen gas

What is the similarity between simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion?
MakcuM [25]

they are both types of passive transport which means they require no energy. They both work with the concentration gradient which means they go from a high concentration area to a low concentration area. The differences are simple diffusion just goes though the membrane of a cell while facilitated diffusion uses a protein channel

Simple diffusion: it is the process where molecules move from a area of high concentration to an are of lower concentration. There is no energy needed in simple diffusion. For example when sodium is highly concentration in a cell, it moves outside of the cell where sodium is less concentration. it takes no energy as simple diffusion is random and molecules move according to their concentration.

A sample of oxygen is collected over water at a total pressure of 692.2 mmHg at 17°C. The vapor pressure of water at 17°C is 14.
frutty [35]

Answer:

677.7 mmHg

Explanation:

The first empirical study on the behaviour of a mixture of gases was carried out by John Dalton. He established the effects of mixing gases at different pressures in the same vessel.

Dalton's law states that,the total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases present in the mixture of gases. When a gas is collected over water, the gas also contains some water vapour. The partial pressure of the gas will now be given as; total pressure of gas mixture - saturated vapour pressure of water (SVP) at that temperature.

Given that;

Total pressure of gas mixture = 692.2 mmHg

SVP of water at 17°C = 14.5 mmHg

Therefore, partial pressure of oxygen = 692.2-14.5

Partial pressure of oxygen = 677.7 mmHg
