Many ski resorts and mountain cities can be reached directly by planes which deposit travelers a mile or more above sea level. T

his can result in altitude sickness due to hypoxemia, or reduced oxygen in the blood, caused by the unaccustomed exposure to the lower atmospheric pressure at high elevations. On a given day, the prevailing atmospheric pressure in Yellowstone, MT (elevation 2031 meters) might be 0.775 atm. Calculate this pressure expressed in mmHg and in torr.

Answer:

589 torr or mmHg.

Explanation:

We know that 1 atmospheric pressure is equal to 760 torr or 760 mmHg so calculate 0.775 atm pressure in term of mmHg and torr. We perform the following steps which is

1 atm -------- 760 torr or mmHg

0.775 atm ------- X

By cross multiplication we get

X = 760 x 0.775

X = 589 torr or mmHg

So we can conclude that if 0.775 atm is equals to 589 torr.

A 14.2% by mass HCl solution has a density of 1.1684 g/mL. What is the concentration of this solution in molarity?
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

[HCl] = 4.54 M

Explanation:

14.2 % by mass is 14.2 g in 100 g of solution.

Let's calculate the moles of our solute, HCl

14.2 g / 36.45 g/mol = 0.389 mol

Molarity is mol/L (moles of solute in 1L of solution)

Let's determine the volume of solution with density

Solution density = Solution mass / Solution volume

Solution volume = Solution mass / Solution density

Solution volume = 100 g / 1.1684 g/mL → 85.6 mL

For molarity, we need the volume in L. Let's make the unit change.

85.6 mL . 1 L/1000mL = 0.0856L

Molarity is 0.389 mol / 0.0856L → 4.54 M

Choose two different particles found in the air. Explain how they are different and how they are the same
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Dust and smoke.

Explanation:

Dust and smoke are two different particles present in the air. Dust and smoke are different from one another due to their origin. Smoke formed from burning of materials while dust refers to the soil particles lifted by the wind due to their light weight. Dust and smoke are similar to each other due to their small in size, infinite number means uncountable and light weight.
