A mixture of gases at a total pressure of 95 kPa contains N₂, CO₂, and O₂. The partial pressure of the CO₂ is 24 kPa and the par
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

23 kPa = Partial pressure O₂

Explanation:

In a mixture of gases, the sum of partial pressure of each gas that contains the mixture = Total pressure

Total pressure = Partial pressure N₂ + Partial pressure CO₂ + Partial pressure O₂

95 kPa = 48 kPa + 24 kPa + Partial pressure O₂

95 kPa - 48 kPa - 24 kPa = Partial pressure O₂

23 kPa = Partial pressure O₂

Observation and experimentation have led many scientists to accept a theory about the origin of the universe, called The Big Ban
34kurt
Red shift is one piece of observational evidence which supports the big bang theory. The fact that galaxies are moving away from us means that the universe was once much smaller, supporting the big bang theory which states that all the matter in the universe once occupied a single point with infinite density.

A 650.0 mL solution contains 125 grams of glucose (C6H12O6). If the molar mass of C6H12O6 is 180.16 g/mol, what is the molarity
Aleks [24]

Molarity of a solution is the molar concentration, which is the number of moles of solute in 1 L of solution.

the mass of glucose is - 125 g

number of moles of glucose - 125 g / 180.16 g/mol = 0.694 mol

the number of moles of glucose in 650.0 x 10⁻³ L - 0.694 mol

number of moles of glucose in 1 L - 0.694 mol / 650.0 x 10⁻³ L = 1.068 mol/L

molarity of glucose solution is 1.068 M
