Answer:
Dependent and independent variables are variables in mathematical modeling, statistical modeling and experimental sciences. Dependent variables receive this name because, in an experiment, their values are studied under the supposition or hypothesis that they depend, by some law or rule (e.g., by a mathematical function), on the values of other variables. Independent variables, in turn, are not seen as depending on any other variable in the scope of the experiment in question; thus, even if the existing dependency is invertible (e.g., by finding the inverse function when it exists), the nomenclature is kept if the inverse dependency is not the object of study in the experiment. In this sense, some common independent variables are time, space, density, mass, fluid flow rate[1][2], and previous values of some observed value of interest (e.g. human population size) to predict future values (the dependent variable)[3].
Of the two, it is always the dependent variable whose variation is being studied, by altering inputs, also known as regressors in a statistical context. In an experiment, any variable that the experimenter manipulates[clarification needed] can be called an independent variable. Models and experiments test the effects that the independent variables have on the dependent variables. Sometimes, even if their influence is not of direct interest, independent variables may be included for other reasons, such as to account for their potential confounding effect.
Explanation:
The pressures given are the partical pressures of the two gases.
The law of Dalton or of the partial pressures states that the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the pressures of all the gases.
So, in this case:
Total pressure = pressure of nitrogen + pressure of carbon dioxyde.
Of course both terms must be in the same units.
i have found that the pressures for this problem are:
Pressure of nitrogen = 984 torr
Pressure of carbon dioxyde = 345 torr
Total pressure = 984 torr + 345 torr = 1329 torr.
Now convert to atm: 1 atm = 760 torr
=> 1329 torr * 1 atm / 760 torr = 1.74868 atm ≈ 1.75 atm
Answer: 1.75 atm
Hello!
Ok so for this problem we use the ideal gas law of PV=nRT and I take it that the scientist needs to store 0.400 moles of gas and not miles.
So if we have
n=0.400mol
V=0.200L
T= 23degC= 273k+23c=296k
R=ideal gas constant= 0.0821 L*atm/mol*k
So now we rearrange equation for pressure(P)
P=nRT/V
P=((0.400mol)*(0.0821 L*atm/mol*k)*(296k))/(0.200L) = 48.6 atm of pressure
Hope this helps you understand the concept and how to solve yourself in the future!! Any questions, please feel free to ask!! Thank you kindly!!!
