Answer:

The zebra mussel is a fresh and brackish water bivalve mollusk. It feeds on plankton and suspended organic matter. It is listed 100 most damaging invasive alien species in the world of the International Union for Conservation of Nature

Zebra mussels are an invasive, fingernail-sized mollusk that is native to fresh waters in Eurasia. Their name comes from the dark, zig-zagged stripes on each shell. Zebra mussels probably arrived in the Great Lakes in the 1980s via ballast water that was discharged by large ships from Europe

Imagine a planet that has a similar atmospheric pressure to Earth (760 mmHg) but different concentrations of gases in its atmosp

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

76 mmHg is the partial pressure of oxygen on this new planet.

Explanation:

Atmospheric pressure on air on earth = 760 mmHg

On an unknown planet :

Oxygen makes up 10% of the atmosphere.

The mole fraction of oxygen gas can be written as = $\chi_1=\frac{10}{100}=0.1$

Carbon dioxide makes up 15% of the atmosphere.

The mole fraction of carbon dioxide gas can be written as = $\chi_2=\frac{15}{100}=0.15$

Nitrogen makes up the remaining 75% of the atmosphere.

The mole fraction of nitrogen gas can be written as = $\chi_1=\frac{75}{100}=0.75$

Atmospheric pressure of air on unknown planet,p= 760 mmHg (given)

Partial pressure of gases can be calculated by the help o Dalton's law of partial pressure:

Partial pressure of oxygen gas :

$p_1=p\times \chi_1$

$p_1=760 mmHg\times 0.1=76 mmHg$

Partial pressure of carbon dioxide gas :

$p_2=p\times \chi_2$

$p_2=760 mmHg\times 0.15=114 mmHg$

Partial pressure of nitrogen gas :

$p_3=p\times \chi_3$

$p_3=760 mmHg\times 0.75=570 mmHg$

A. How many moles of copper equal 8.00 × 109 copper atoms?

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) one mole = 6.02 x 10²³ atoms

no of moles in given no of atoms

= 8 x 10⁹ / 6.02 x 10²³

= 1.329 x 10⁻¹⁴ moles .

b ) one mole of calcium = 40 gram

102 .5 g calcium

= 102 .5 / 40 moles

= 2.5625 moles

c )

no of moles in 5.04 g lead = 5.04 / 207

= 2.4347 x 10⁻² moles

= 2.4347 x 10⁻²x 6.02 x 10²³ no of atoms of lead

= 14.6568 x 10²¹ no of atoms .

one mole = 6.02 x 10²³ atoms

2.85 mole = 17.157 x 10²³ atoms .

e )

moles of fluorine gas = 1.08 x 10³ / 6.02 x 10²³

= .1794 x 10⁻²⁰ moles

mass in grams = .1794 x 10⁻²⁰ x 38

= 6.8172 x 10⁻²⁰ grams

f )

no of moles in .584 g of benzene = .584 / 78

= 7.487 x 10⁻³ moles

no of molecules = 6.02 x 10²³ x 7.487 x 10⁻³

= 45.07 x 10²⁰ molecules .

g )

moles of atoms = 5.09 x 10⁹ / 6.02 x 10²³

= .8455 x 10⁻¹⁴ moles

mass in gram = .8455 x 10⁻¹⁴ x 1

= .8455 x 10⁻¹⁴ g

h )

.45 moles of Ca₃PO₄ = .45 x 6.02 x 10²³ molecules

= 2.709 x 10²³ molecules of Ca₃PO₄

no of atoms of Ca = 3 x 2.709 x 10²³

= 8.127 x 10²³ atoms of Ca .
