Four gases were combined in a gas cylinder with these partial pressures: 3.5 atm N2, 2.8 atm O2, 0.25 atm Ar, and 0.15 atm He.

Goryan [66]

Answer:

This can be solved using Dalton's Law of Partial pressures. This law states that the total pressure exerted by a gas mixture is equal to the sum of the partial pressure of each gas in the mixture as if it exist alone in a container. In order to solve, we need the partial pressures of the gases given. Calculations are as follows:

Explanation:

P = 3.00 atm + 2.80 atm + 0.25 atm + 0.15 atm

P = 6.8 atm

3.5 atm = x (6.8 atm)

x = 0.51

Estimate the number of moles of water in all the Earth's oceans. Assume water covers 75% of the Earth to an average depth of 3 k

o-na [289]

Answer:

there are approximately n ≈ 10²² moles

Explanation:

Since the radius of the earth is approximately R=6378 km= 6.378*10⁶ m , then the surface S of the earth would be

S= 4*π*R²

since the water covers 75% of the Earth's surface , the surface covered by water Sw is

Sw=0.75*S

the volume for a surface Sw and a depth D= 3 km = 3000 m ( approximating the volume through a rectangular shape) is

V=Sw*D

the mass of water under a volume V , assuming a density ρ= 1000 kg/m³ is

m=ρ*V

the number of moles n of water ( molecular weight M= 18 g/mole = 1.8*10⁻² kg/mole ) for a mass m is

n = m/M

then

n = m/M = ρ*V/M = ρ*Sw*D/M = 0.75*ρ*S*D/M = 3/4*ρ*4*π*R² *D/M = 3*π*ρ*R² *D/M

n=3*π*ρ*R² *D/M

replacing values

n=3*π*ρ*R² *D/M = 3*π*1000 kg/m³*(6.378*10⁶ m)² *3000 m /(1.8*10⁻² kg/mole) = 3*π*6.378*3/1.8 * 10²⁰ = 100.18 * 10²⁰ ≈ 10²² moles

n ≈ 10²² moles

Pierce conducts an experiment in which waves collide in a way that the energy increases, which means that has occurred

Vikki [24]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

It means the waves collides and constructive interference occurred.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

If the two waves coming from the opposite direction collide with each other, there are two way of their interference.

Constructive interference: An interference which results in the increase in energy. And it is when crust of a wave comes on the crust of second wave.
Destructive interference: An interference which results in decrease in energy of the resulting wave and colliding waves cancel the result of each other.

Hence in experiment there will be constructive interference.

A sample of methane gas occupies 4.50 gallons at a temperature of 80.0 F. If the pressure is held constant, what will be the vol

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

21.19 L or 5.6 gallons

Explanation:

Data Given

initial volume V1 = 4.50 gallons

convert volume from gallons to L

1 gallon = 3.78541 L

4. 50 gallon = 3.785 L x 4.50

So,

initial volume V1 = 17.03 L

final Volume V2 = ?

initial Temperature T1 = 80° F

convert Temperature to Kelvin

T1 = ( 80° F -32) / 1.8 +273

T1 = 26.7° C + 273 = 299.7 K

final Temperature T2 = 100° C

convert Temperature to Kelvin

T2 = 100° C + 273 = 373 K

Solution:

This problem will be solved by using charles' law equation at constant pressure.

The formula used

V1 / T1 = V2 / T2

As we have to find out volume, so rearrange the above equation

V2 = V1 x T2 / T1

Put value from the data given and conversion information in above equation

V2 = 17.03 L x 373 K / 299.7 K

V2 = 21. 19 L

So the final volume of Methane gas = 21.19 L

Or for Volume in gallons

1 L = 0.26

21.19 x 0.264 = 5.6 gallons
