Argon, which comprises almost 1 percent of the atmosphere, is approximately 27 times more abundant than CO2 but does not contrib

ute to global warming. Which explanation accounts for this fact?
a. Single atoms do not have bonds, therefore do not vibrate.
b. Argon's vibrational energy is not excited by infrared radiation.
c. Argon atoms are concentrated too high in the troposphere to interact with the earth's radiant energy.
d. Argon is not an anthropogenic pollutant.

B. Argon's vibrational energy is not excited by infrared radiation.

Explanation:

The property of carbon dioxide to get excited by infrared electromagnetic radiation is what qualifies it as a greenhouse gas. When infrared from the earth's surface is reflecting back to space, some of the radiation is absorbed and remitted by the carbon-dioxide molecules in the atmosphere. This causes a phenomenon called greenhouse effect that causes the atmosphere to be relatively warmer. The more the carbon dioxide molecules the more the greenhouse effect.

A 265-mL flask contains pure helium at a pressure of 751 torrs. A second flask with a volume of 465 mL contains pure argon at a
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Total Pressure = 745.6 torr

Partial Pressure of He = 272.8 torr

Partial Pressure of Ar =  472.8 torr

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of the flask helium = 265 mL

Pressure in the helium flask = 751 torr = 751/760 atm

Volume of the flask argon = 465 mL

Pressure in the argon flask = 727 torr = 727/760 atm

The total pressure exerted by a gaseous mixture is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of each individual component in a gas mixture.

Step 2: Calculate total volume

Total volume = 265 mL + 465 mL = 730 mL =  0.730 L

Step 3: Boyle's Law:

P1V1=P2V2

⇒ with P1 = total pressure gas exerts in its own flask

 ⇒ with V1 = volume of flask with stopcock valve closed

 ⇒ with P2 = partial pressure of gas exerts on total volume of both flasks when stopcock valve is opened  

 ⇒ with V2 = total volume of both flasks with stopcock valve opened

Helium using Boyle's Law equation from above:

P1V1=P2V2

⇒ with P1 = Pressure of helium = 751 /760 = 0.98816 atm

 ⇒ with V1 = volume of helium = 0.265 L

 ⇒ with P2 = The new partial pressure of helium

 ⇒ with V2 = total volume = 0.730 L

(0.98816 atm)(0.265L)=P2(0.730L)

P2=0.359 atm

Argon using Boyle's Law equation from above:

P1V1=P2V2

⇒ with P1 = Pressure of argon = 727/760 = 0.95658 atm

 ⇒ with V1 = volume of argon = 0.465 L

 ⇒ with P2 = The new partial pressure of argon

 ⇒ with V2 = total volume = 0.730 L

(0.95658 atm)(0.465L)=P2(0.730L)

P2=0.609 atm

Step 4: Convert pressure in atm to torr

Pressure helium = 0.359 atm = 272.8 torr

Pressure argon = 0.609 atm = 472.8 torr

Step 5: Calculate Total pressure

Ptotal = P(He)+P(Ar)

⇒ Pt  = total pressure of the gas mixture

⇒ P(He) = partial pressure of Helium

 ⇒ P(Ar)  = partial pressure of Argon

Pt = 272.8 torr + 472.8 torr

Pt = 745.6 torr

Total Pressure = 745.6 torr

Partial Pressure of He = 272.8 torr

Partial Pressure of Ar =  472.8 torr
