Answer:

1. The gas law used: Dalton's law of partial pressure.

2. Pressure of nitrogen = 331 mmHg

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Total pressure (Pₜ) = 592 mmHg

Pressure of Oxygen (Pₒ) = 261 mmHg

Pressure of nitrogen (Pₙ) =?

The pressure of nitrogen in the sample can be obtained by using the Dalton's law of partial pressure. This is illustrated below:

Pₜ = Pₒ + Pₙ

592 = 261 + Pₙ

Collect like terms

592 – 261 = Pₙ

331 = Pₙ

Pₙ = 331 mmHg

Therefore, the pressure of nitrogen in the sample is 331 mmHg

Answer:

currently model of the atom shows an atom that is mostly empty space. In the center is a small nucleus made of protons and neutrons. The nucleus contains nearly all the mass of an atom. Surrounding the nucleus is a cloud-like region with electrons moving too fast and too unpredictably for us to know their location

Answer:

3.00 × 10¹¹ g

Explanation:

According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Texas had 4,015,000 beef cows in 2013. One beef cow produces 205 grams of methane per day. The methane produced by the beef cows in Texas per day is:

$4,015,000Cow \times \frac{205gCH_4}{cow \times day} = \frac{8.23 \times 10^{8}gCH_4}{day}$
