Answer:

The total air pressure at the top of the highest peak in the world is 253.5 torr

Explanation:

The partial pressures of the gases present at the top of Mount Everest are;

Nitrogen, N₂ = 201.0 torr

Oxygen, O₂ = 50.0 torr

Argon, Ar = 2.0 torr

Carbon dioxide, CO₂ = 0.5 torr

By Dalton's law of partial pressure, the total pressure that a mixture of gases exerts is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases

Mathematically, the law can be expressed as follows;

Total pressure, P = ∑P_i = P₁ + P₂ + · · ·

From which we have;

The total air pressure at the top of the highest peak in the world, Mount Everest, P_{Total Mont Everest} = The sum of the partial pressures of N₂, O₂, Ar, and CO₂

P_{Total Mont Everest} = 201.0 torr + 50.0 torr + 2.0 torr + 0.5 torr = 253.5 torr

P_{Total Mont Everest} = 253.5 torr = 0.33355263 atmosphere

Therefore, the total air pressure at the top of the highest peak in the world,  P_{Total Mont Everest} = 253.5 torr

What energy is required to remove the remaining electron from singly ionized helium?
skelet666 [1.2K]

To remove one electron from singly ionized helium, will require approximately 54.4 eV or 8.72 1020 J of energy.

The amount of energy required by an isolated, gaseous molecule in the electronic state of the ground to absorb in order to discharge an electron and produce a cation has been known as the ionization energy. The amount of energy required for every atom in a mole to drop one electron is most often given as kJ/mol.

Anything that causes electrically neutral atoms and molecules to gain or lose electrons in order to become electrically charged atoms as well as molecules .

Therefore, the "To remove one electron from singly ionized helium, will require approximately 54.4 eV or 8.72 1020 J of energy."
