Finding percent composition is fairly easy. You only need to divide the mass of an element by the total mass of the compound. We can do this one element at a time.
First, let's find the total mass by using the masses of the elements given on the periodic table.
7 x 12.011 (mass of Carbon) = 84.077
5 x 1.008 (mass of Hydrogen) = 5.04
3 x 14.007 (mass of Nitrogen) = 42.021
6 x 15.999 (mass of Oxygen) = 95.994
Add all of those pieces together.
84.077 + 5.04 + 42.021 + 95.994 = 227.132 g/mol is your total. Since we also just found the mass of each individual element, the next step will be very easy.
Carbon: 84.077 / 227.132 = 0.37016 ≈ 37.01 %
Hydrogen: 5.04 / 227.132 = 0.022189 ≈ 2.22 %
Nitrogen: 42.021 / 227.132 = 0.185 ≈ 18.5 %
Oxygen: 95.994 / 227.132 = 0.42263 ≈ 42.26 %
You can check your work by making sure they add up to 100%. The ones I just found add up to 99.99, which is close enough. A small difference (no more than 0.03 in my experience) is just a matter of where you rounded your numbers.
Answer:
The partial pressure of the other gases is 0.009 atm
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Air is about 78.0% nitrogen molecules and 21.0% oxygen molecules and 1% of other gases.
The atmospheric pressure = 0.90 atm
Step 2: Calculate mol fraction
If wehave 100 moles of air, 78 moles will be nitrogen,
21 moles will be oxygen, and 1 mol will be other gases.
Mol fraction = 1/100 = 0.01
Step 3: Calculate the partial pressure of the other gases
Pgas = Xgas * Ptotal
⇒ Pgas = the partial pressure = ?
⇒ Xgas = the mol fraction of the gas = 0.01
⇒Ptotal = the total pressure of the pressure = 0.90 atm
Pgas = 0.01 * 0.90 atm
Pgas = 0.009 atm
The partial pressure of the other gases is 0.009 atm
Answer:
turgor pressure can be done in a lab or a self test.
turgor pressure is key to the plant’s vital processes. It makes the plant cell stiff and rigid. Without it, the plant cell becomes flaccid. Prolonged flaccidity could lead to the wilting of plants.
Turgor pressure is also important in stomate formation. The turgid guard cells create an opening for gas exchange. Carbon dioxide could enter and be used for photosynthesis. Other functions are apical growth, nastic movement, and seed dispersal.
Explanation:
- salt is bad for turgor pressure.
- Turgidity helps the plant to stay upright. If the cell loses turgor pressure, the cell becomes flaccid resulting in the wilting of the plant.
- The wilted plant on the left has lost its turgor as opposed to the plant on the right that has turgid cells.
Answer:
V₂ = 0.6 V.
Explanation:
- We can use the general law of ideal gas: <em>PV = nRT.</em>
where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.
V is the volume of the gas in L.
n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.
R is the general gas constant,
T is the temperature of the gas in K.
- If n is constant, and have different values of P, V and T:
<em>(P₁V₁T₂) = (P₂V₂T₁).</em>
<em></em>
V₁ = V, P₁ = P, T₁ = T.
V₂ = ??? V, P₂ = 1.25 P, T₂ = 0.75 T.
<em>∴ V₂ = (P₁V₁T₂)/(P₂T₁) =</em> (P)(V)(0.75 T)/(1.25 P)(T)<em> = 0.6 V.</em>
