Trimix is a general name for a type of gas blend used by technical divers and contains nitrogen, oxygen and helium. In one Trimi

x blend, the partial pressures of each gas are 55 atm oxygen, 90 atm nitrogen, and 50 atm helium. What is the percent oxygen (by volume) in this trimex blend?

Answer:

28.2

Explanation:

Add all of the pressures, 55, 90, and 50, and divide 100 by the answer you get (195). You'll get 0.512820513 and multiply it by .55 (atm of Oxygen) and you'll get 28.2

Answer:

The percentage by volume of Oxygen gas in the Trimex blend is 28.2%.

Explanation:

We shall use the formula that connects the mole ratio of a particular gas in a mixture with the partial pressure of that gas and the total pressure of the mixture: which is:

Mole ratio of Oxygen in Trimex = Partial pressure of Oxygen in Trimex divided by the Total pressure of all the gases that made up of Trimex.

Here we go, mole ratio of Oxygen= 55/195. The total pressure is the addition of the partial pressures of all the gases in the Trimex mixture, which is 55+90+50=195.

So the mole ratio of our Oxygen gas will be: 0.282, no unit.

This means we can assume the total moles of all the gas is 1, and oxygen is 0.282.

Since we know that 1 mole of any gas will have 22.4dm cube as volume, then the total volume of the Trimex will be 22.4dm cube, while that of the oxygen gas will be 0.282 X 22.4 dm cube= 6.3179dm cube. Therefore, the percentage by volume of Oxygen gas in the Trimex will be: 6.3179/22.4 X 100 = 28.2%.

Explain the neutralization of vitamin c with sodium hydrogen carbonate?
mars1129 [50]
Scientists have known the consequences of mixing sodium bicarbonate and vitamin C ever since 1936, when a study on the subject was published in the "Journal of Nutrition." The authors of this study measured the amount of vitamin C recovered from the urine of people who drank a fixed amount of orange juice. The authors determined that the amount of vitamin C excreted was decreased by administration of sodium bicarbonate. Followup studies in the 1940s showed that this effect was due to the neutralization of the vitamin C by the sodium bicarbonate.

Vesna [10]

Answer:

3.5 atm

Explanation:

As stated in the question pressure is required to counteract the natural tendency  for water to dilute the more concentrated solution. The difference in concentrations will give us the answer using the osmotic pressure equation.

π = ( n/v)  RT where n/v is the molarity (mol/L), R is the gas constant and T is the temperature.

The difference in osmotic pressure of the solutions is:

Δπ = Δ c RT where c is the difference in molar concentrations.

pressure required = Δπ = (0.190 - 0.048) M x 0.821 Latm/Kmol x 298 K

= 3.47 atm
