<u>ANS</u>

<u>Step</u> <u>1</u> :Explanation of required formula.

According to Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures, the partial pressure of a component of a gaseous mixture depends on the mole ratio of said component and the total pressure of the gaseous mixture

i.e Pi=Xi × Ptotal,

Here we don't know exactly how many moles of the mixture we have,

but we know that 78.0% of all the molecules present in the mixture are nitrogen molecules, 21.0% are oxygen molecules, and 1% are molecules of Ar gas.

As we know, a mole is simply a very large collection of molecules. In order to have one mole of a substance, we need to have 6.022 × 1023 molecules of that substance.

This means that the actual number of moles is not important here, because the ratio that exists between the number of molecules is equivalent to the ratio that exists between the number of moles.

Hence,

<u>Step</u> <u>2</u> : Calculate of mole fraction of the mixture.

mole fraction of nitrogen = 78 /100 = 0.78

mole fraction of O2 =

21 /100 = 0.21

mole fraction of Argon =

1 /100 = 0.01.

<u>Step</u> <u>3</u> : Calculate the pressure contributed by each of the mixture.

The pressure contributed by N2 = mole fraction of N2 × Total pressure = 0.78 × 0.83 atm = 0.6474 atm

The pressure contributed by O2 = 0.21 × 0.83 atm = 0.1743 atm

The pressure contributed by N2 = 0.01 × 0.83 atm = 0.0083 atm.

You want to slide a 0.39 kg book across a table. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is .21, what force is required to move t
uranmaximum [27]
Find the force that would be required in the absence of friction first, then calculate the force of friction and add them together.  This is done because the friction force is going to have to be compensated for.  We will need that much more force than we otherwise would to achieve the desired acceleration:

F_{NoFric}=ma=0.39kg \times0.18 \frac{m}{s^2}  =0.0702N

The friction force will be given by the normal force times the coefficient of friction.  Here the normal force is just its weight, mg

F_{Fric}=0.39kg \times 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} \times 0.21=0.803N

Now the total force required is:

0.0702N+0.803N=0.873N

What is meant by "steam distillation"? choose the correct option from below.
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

b is the correct option.

Explanation:

Steam distillation is a distillation in which water is added to the mixture being distilled so that water and the organic compounds vaporize, condense and are collected together. This process is applied for the purification of those materials specially the organic materials which are temperature sensitive. The normal boiling method can not be implemented as these materials starts to decompose on high temperatures. This method has got a lot of applications in industries like petrolium refineries and the oil extraction from some plants etc.

An airplane flies horizontally at constant speed in a straight­line direction. Its state of motion is unchanging. In other words
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

sum of all forces on the air plane must be ZERO

So both forces must be of same magnitude

Explanation:

As we know that airplane is moving with uniform speed is horizontal plane is a straight line

so the motion of the air plane is uniform without any acceleration

So we will have

a = 0

acceleration must be zero

now by Newton's law

F_{net} = 0

F_1 + F_2 = 0

so sum of all forces on the air plane must be ZERO
