Oxygen has a relatively <em><u>low </u></em>solubility coefficient and therefore requires a <em><u>steep </u></em>(high) partial pressure gradient to help diffuse the gas into the blood.

Solubility is described as the limiting amount of an element that can dissolve in any amount of solvent at a set temperature. Since oxygen has a low coefficient of this, it requires the help of a higher partial pressure gradient to diffuse properly into the bloodstream.

Draw the best Lewis structure for NH3 by filling in the bonds, lone pairs, and formal charges. (Assign bonds, lone pairs, radica
kiruha [24]

Answer :  The Lewis-dot structure of NH_3 is shown below.

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, NH_3

As we know that hydrogen has '1' valence electron and nitrogen has '5' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in NH_3 = 5 + 3(1) = 8

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 6 number of bonding electrons and 2 number of non-bonding electrons.

Now we have to determine the formal charge for each atom.

Formula for formal charge :

\text{Formal charge}=\text{Valence electrons}-\text{Non-bonding electrons}-\frac{\text{Bonding electrons}}{2}

\text{Formal charge on N}=5-2-\frac{6}{2}=0

\text{Formal charge on }H_1=1-0-\frac{2}{2}=0

\text{Formal charge on }H_2=1-0-\frac{2}{2}=0

\text{Formal charge on }H_3=1-0-\frac{2}{2}=0

Hence, the Lewis-dot structure of NH_3 is shown below.

What are dipoles, and what is the difference between a natural dipole and an induced dipole?
Tasya [4]

Answer:

See explanation below.

Explanation:

Dipoles are molecules that have partial charges. It happens because of the difference in electronegativity of the elements. This property is the tendency that the atom has to take the electron to it, so, in the covalent bond, the shared pair of electrons is easily found at the more electronegativity atom, and so, it has a partial negative charge, and the other, a partial positive charge. This is a natural dipole.

If the difference of electronegativity is 0, or extremely close to 0, then the molecule is nonpolar, and so the molecule doesn't have partial charges. But, to be joined together and form the substance, the partial charge must be induced, so it's an induced dipole.

Burning one gallon of gasoline releases 20 pounds of CO2 into the air. Harry’s compact car can travel 25 miles on one gallon of
son4ous [18]
There are several information's already given in the question. Based on those information's, the answer can be easily deduced.
Amount of gasoline required by Harry's car to travel 25 miles = 1 gallon
Then
amount of gasoline required
by Harry's car to travel 15000 miles = 15000/25
                                                         = 600 gallons
So 
Amount of CO2 released by burning 1 gallon of gasoline = 20 pounds
Then
Amount of CO2 released
by burning 600 gallon of gasoline = 600 * 20
                                                      = 12000 pounds
From the above deduction, it can be concluded that the amount of CO2 that will be added by Harry's car to the atmosphere is 12000 pounds.
