At the instance where you add RBCs to a solution of 0.9% NaCl, they will maintain their shape as well as their size, this is simply to indicate an equilibrium. That entails that the solution is isotonic to the RBCs. This must mean that the concentration of solutes on each side must be equal otherwise osmotic pressure would force water either in or out of the membrane. Therefore, one can also safely assume that RBC's also have a solute concentration of 0.9%.

A gas is contained in a cylinder with a volume of 2.9 L at a temperature of 32.7oC and a pressure of 645.3 torr. The gas is then

stealth61 [152]

Answer: 41 atm

Explanation:

Given that:

Original Volume of gas V1 = 2.9L

Temperature T1 = 32.7°C

Convert Celsius to Kelvin

(32.7°C + 273 = 305.7K)

Pressure P1 = 645.3 torr

New Volume V2 = 0.23 L

New temperature T2 = 894.7°C

Convert Celsius to Kelvin

(894.7°C + 273 = 1167.7K)

New pressure = ?

Then, apply the combined gas equation

(P1V1)/T1 = (P2V2)/T2

(645.3 torr x 2.9L)/305.7K = (P2 x 0.23L)/1167.7K

1871.37 / 305.7 = 0.23P2 / 1167.7

To get P2, Cross multiply

1871.37 x 1167.7 = 305.7 x 0.23P2

2185198.749 = 70.311P2

Divide both sides by 70.311

2185198.749/70.311 = 70.311P2/70.311

31079.045 torr = P2

Now, convert pressure in torr to atmosphere

Since 760 torr = 1 atm

31079.045 torr = Z

cross multiply

760 torr x Z = 31079.045 torr x 1 atm

Z = 31079.045 torr / 760 torr

Z = 40.89 atm (Round to the nearest whole number as 41 atm)

Thus, new pressure of gas is 41 atm
