The brain is protected by the bones of the skull and by a covering of three thin membranes called meninges. The brain is also cushioned and protected by cerebrospinal fluid. This watery fluid is produced by special cells in the four hollow spaces in the brain, called ventricles.

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

4.525% is the percentage by volume of oxygen in the gas mixture.

Explanation:

Total pressure of the mixture = p = 4.42 atm

Partial pressure of the oxygen = $p_1=0.20 atm$

Partial pressure of the helium = $p_2$

$p_1=p\times \chi_1$ (Dalton law of partial pressure)

$0.20 atm=4.42 atm\times \chi_1$

$\chi_1=\frac{0.20 atm}{4.42 atm}=0.04525$

$\chi_2=1-\chi_1=1-0.04525=0.95475$

$chi_1+chi_2=1$

$n_1=0.04525 mol,n_2=0.95475 mol$

According Avogadro law:

$Moles\propto Volume$ (At temperature and pressure)

Volume occupied by oxygen gas = $V_1$

Total moles of gases = n = 1 mol

Total Volume of the gases = V

$\frac{n_1}{V_1}=\frac{n}{V}$

$\frac{V_1}{V}=\frac{n_1}{n}=\frac{0.04525 mol}{1 mol}$

Percent by volume of oxygen in the gas mixture:

$\frac{V_1}{V}\times 100=\frac{0.04525 mol}{1 mol}\times 100=4.525\%$

Bezzdna [24]

Answer: I would go with B

Explanation: The motor in a circuit isn't moving. That's very vague, but it doesn't show any evidence that an electrical current is going through it, likewise it doesn't show that an electrical current ISN'T going through it. However in regards to this question I would go with B.
