Hikers noticed that a sealed bag of potato chips puffs up when taken to the top of a mountain. Suppose that at the valley floor

below, the air pressure is 1. 0 atm, the temperature is 25°C, and the volume of the bag is 0. 985 L. At the top of the mountain, the temperature is 22°C and the bag has puffed up to 1. 030 L. What is the air pressure on top of the mountain? Type in your answer using the correct number of significant figures. Formula: P1V1 T1 = P2V2 T2 atm.

The final pressure or the air pressure on the top of the mountain is 0.818.

<h3>What is air pressure?</h3>

Air pressure is the pressure exerted by air in the atmosphere of the earth.

By the Gas law

$\dfrac{P_1V_1}{ T1} =\dfrac{ P_2V_2 }{T_2}$

Given, the pressure of the valley floor is 1 atm. = P1

The temperature is 25° C = T1

The volume of the bag is 0.985 L. = V1

The temperature at the top of the mountain is ° C = T2

Now, the volume of the bag is 1. 030 L = V2

To find P2

Put the values in the formula

$\dfrac{1 atm \times0.985 L}{ 25} =\dfrac{ P_2 \times 1. 030 L }{22}\\\\0.03832 = 0.0468 \times P_2\\\\P_2= 0.818$

Thus, the final pressure is 0.818.

An excited ozone molecule, O3*, in the atmosphere can undergo one of the following reactions,O3* → O3 (1) fluorescenceO3* → O +

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

The simplified expression for the fraction is $\text {X} = \dfrac{ {k_3 \times cM} }{k_1 +k_2 + k_3 }$

Explanation:

From the given information:

O3* → O3 (1) fluorescence

O + O2 (2) decomposition

O3* + M → O3 + M (3) deactivation

The rate of fluorescence = rate of constant (k₁) × Concentration of reactant (cO)

The rate of decomposition is = k₂ × cO

The rate of deactivation = k₃ × cO × cM

where cM is the concentration of the inert molecule

The fraction (X) of ozone molecules undergoing deactivation in terms of the rate constants can be expressed by using the formula:

$\text {X} = \dfrac{ \text {rate of deactivation} }{ \text {(rate of fluorescence) +(rate of decomposition) + (rate of deactivation) } } }$

$\text {X} = \dfrac{ {k_3 \times cO \times cM} }{ {(k_1 \times cO) +(k_2 \times cO) + (k_3 \times cO \times cM) } }$

$\text {X} = \dfrac{ {k_3 \times cO \times cM} }{cO (k_1 +k_2 + k_3 \times cM) }$

$\text {X} = \dfrac{ {k_3 \times cM} }{k_1 +k_2 + k_3 }$ since cM is the concentration of the inert molecule
