Answer:

152 kPa = Partial pressure O₂

Explanation:

Data by percent is the molar fraction . 100.

Molar fraction of Helium = 32/ 100 → 0.32

Molar fraction of O₂ = 68/100 → 0.68

Sum of molar fractions in a mixture = 1

0.68 + 0.32 = 1

If we apply the molar fraction, we can determine the partial pressure.

Mole fraction = Partial pressure / Total pressure

0.32 = Partial pressure O₂ / 475kPa →  0.32 . 475 kPa = Partial pressure O₂

152 kPa = Partial pressure O₂

How does distillation work.
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

Distillation is an important commercial process that is used in the purification of a large variety of materials. However, before we begin a discussion of distillation, it would probably be beneficial to define the terms that describe the process and related properties. ... Elevation of the boiling point with an increase in external pressure, while important in cooking and sterilizing food or utensils, is less important in distillation.

What is the minimum % relative error for a 0.5M NaOH solution?
scZoUnD [109]

Answer: 20%

Explanation:

Relative error = Absolute error/actual value

= 0.1/0.5

= 0.2

Hence,

Minimum % Relative error = 0.2 ×100%

= 20%

Len [333]
I would say Na. Oxygen has 2 valence electrons and when reacting with other molecules, the ones with the fullest or emptiest shells will react the least. Both H2 and Na are in the Alkali Metals in the first row, but since H2 has 2 molecules, it would use more oxygen than Ana
