Answer:

The partial pressure of each gas is:

  • Oxygen= 213 torr
  • Nitrogen= 596.4 torr
  • Water Vapor= 42.6 torr

Explanation:

The pressure exerted by a particular gas in a mixture is known as its partial pressure. So, Dalton's law states that the total pressure of a gas mixture is equal to the sum of the pressures that each gas would exert if it were alone:

PT = PA + PB

This relationship is due to the assumption that there are no attractive forces between the gases.

Dalton's partial pressure law can also be expressed in terms of the mole fraction of the gas in the mixture. The mole fraction is a dimensionless quantity that expresses the ratio of the number of moles of a component to the number of moles of all the components present.

The mole fraction of a gas in a gas mixture is given by:

XA = nA / nT

This fraction will always be less than 1.

So in a mixture of two or more gases, the partial pressure of gas A can be expressed as:

PA = XA * PT

In this case, you know:

  • number of moles of oxygen= 2.5 moles
  • number of moles of nitrogen= 7.0 moles
  • number of moles of water vapor= 0.5 moles

So, the number of total moles nT is calculated as:

nT= number of moles of oxygen + number of moles of nitrogen +number of moles of water vapor

Then:

nT= 2.5 moles + 7.0 moles + 0.5 moles

nT= 10

So, the mole fraction of the gas in the mixture is:

  • mole fraction of oxygen = \frac{2.5 moles}{10 moles} = 0.25
  • mole fraction of nitrogen = \frac{7 moles}{10 moles} = 0.7
  • mole fraction of water vapor = \frac{0.5 moles}{10 moles} = 0.05

Being the total presurre (PT) equal to 852 torr, then:

  • Poxygen= 0.25*852 torr= 213 torr
  • Pnitrogen= 0.7*852 torr= 596.4 torr
  • Pwater vapor= 0.05*852 torr= 42.6 torr

<u><em>The partial pressure of each gas is: </em></u>

  • <u><em>Oxygen= 213 torr</em></u>
  • <u><em>Nitrogen= 596.4 torr</em></u>
  • <u><em>Water Vapor= 42.6 torr</em></u>

The goose has a mass of 19.2 lb (pounds) and is flying at 7.10 miles/h (miles per hour). What is the kinetic energy of the goose
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

43.868 J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of a body is the amount of energy possessed by a moving body. The SI unit of kinetic energy is the joule (kg⋅m²⋅s⁻²).

According to classical mechanics, kinetic energy = 1/2 m·v²

Where, m= mass in kg and v= velocity in m/s

Given: m = 19.2 lb and v = 7.10 miles/h

Since, 1 lb= 0.453592 kg

∴ m = 19.2 lb = 19.2 × 0.453592 kg = 8.709 kg

Also, 1 mi = 1609.34 m and 1 h = 3600 sec

∴ v = 7.10 mi/h = 7.10 × 1609.34 m ÷ 3600 sec = 3.174 m/sec

Therefore, <u>kinetic energy of the goose</u> = 1/2 m·v² = 1/2 × (8.709 kg)× (3.174 m/sec)² = 43.868 J

Assume the weight of an average adult is 70. kg, and that 420. kJ of heat are evolved per mole of oxygen consumed as a result of
seraphim [82]

Answer:

The temperature difference of the body after 3 hours = 5.16 K

Explanation:

we know that the number of moles of O₂ inhaled are 0.02 mole/min⁻¹

                                   or, 1.2 mole.h⁻¹

The average heat evolved by the oxidation of foodstuffs is then:

⇒          Q avg =\frac{1.2 X 420 X 10^{3} }{70} = 7.2 kj.h⁻¹.Kg⁻¹

the heat produced after 3 h would be:

                 =    7.2 kj. h⁻¹.Kg⁻¹ x 3 h

                 = 21.6 kj. kg⁻¹

                 = 21.6 x 10³ j kg⁻¹

We know Qp = Cp x ΔT

Assume the heat capacity of the body is 4.18 J g⁻¹K⁻¹

⇒ ΔT = \frac{Qp}{Cp}

⇒ ΔT = \frac{(21.6 X 10^{3} j.kg^{-1} ) }{(4.18 j k^{-1}g^{-1})   X (1000g.kg^{-1} )}

⇒ ΔT = 5.16 K

Explain and illustrate the notation for distinguishing between the different p orbitals in a sublevel.
masha68 [24]

Here, the three different notation of the p-orbital in different sub-level have to generate

The value of azimuthal quantum number (l) for -p orbital is 1. We know that the magnetic quantum number m_{l} depends upon the value of l, which are -l to +l.

Thus for p-orbital the possible magnetic quantum numbers are- -1, 0, +1. So there will be three orbitals for p orbitals, which are designated as p_{x}, p_{y} and p_{z} in space.

The three p-orbital can be distinguish by the quantum numbers as-

For 2p orbitals (principal quantum number is 2)

1) n = 2, l = 1, m = -1

2) n = 2, l = 1, m = 0

3) n = 2, l = 1, m = +1

Thus the notation of different p-orbitals in the sub level are determined.
