Occupational Safety and Health Administration has set the limit on the maximum percentage of carbon dioxide (CO2) in air a worke

r can breathe at 0.500% by mole. If dry ice (solid CO2) is sublimating (becoming a gas) in a room at a rate of 0.880 mol/min, what is the minimum rate that fresh air has to be supplied to the room so that the concentration of CO2 in the room doesn't exceed 0.500% by mole? Assume the room is well mixed, and the volume of the solid dry ice does not change

Answer:

The minimum rate of fresh air in the room is 176 moles/min

Explanation:

High exposure of CO₂ has health effects as headaches, increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, coma, asphyxia, convulsions, etc.

0,500 mole% of CO₂ in air means 0,500 moles of CO₂ per 100 moles of air

As the rate of sublimation of CO₂ is 0,880, the minimum rate of fresh air in the room must be:

\frac{0,500 moles CO_{2}}{100 moles Air} = \frac{0,880 moles CO_{2}/min}{X}

X = <em>176 moles of Air/min</em>

A sample of oxygen gas occupies a volume of 250 mL at .8 atm of pressure. What volume will it occupy at 1.2 atm of pressure?
musickatia [10]
167 mL

P1V1 = P2V2
P1 = .8 atm
V1 = 250 mL
P2 = 1.2 atm

Solve for V2 —> V2 = P1V1/P2

V2 = (0.8 atm)(250 mL) / (1.2 atm) = 167 mL

How do you know the number of valence electrons for those elements?​
salantis [7]

Answer:

For neutral atoms, the number of valence electrons is equal to the atom's main group number. The main group number for an element can be found from its column on the periodic table. For example, carbon is in group 4 and has 4 valence electrons. Oxygen is in group 6 and has 6 valence electrons.

What does water undergo when it turns<br> to gas from liquid on surface of a<br> sidewalk?
Svetradugi [14.3K]

If you performed this experiment using mgcl2 as the solute would the molar concentration of mgcl2 that is isotonic to the potato
Mama L [17]
The answer to this question would be: lower molar concentration

Osmotic pressure is influenced by the number of ions and the concentration of the molecule in the solution. In NaCl, the molecule will split into 1 Na+ ion and 1 Cl- ion which results in 2 ions per compound. In MgCl2, the compound will split into 1 Mg2+ ion and 2 Cl- ion which results in 3 ions. Therefore, the osmotic pressure of MgCl2 will be 3/2 times of NaCl.
MgCl2 will need less concentration to achieve same osmotic pressure as NaCl. If the MgCl2 solution is isotonic with NaCl, the concentration of MgCl2 would be lower than NaCl
