Heliox is a helium‑oxygen mixture that may be used in scuba tanks for divers working at great depths. It is also used medically as a breathing treatment.
A 5.25 L tank holds helium gas at a pressure of 1734 psi. A second 5.25 L tank holds oxygen at a pressure of 461.0 psi. The two gases are mixed in a 5.25 L tank. If the temperature remains the same throughout the process, what is the pressure of the gas mixture in the tank? Assume ideal gas behavior.
The 2-carbon alcohol called ethanol is most common because it's made from
something else very common: sugar! (this is also why ethanol is the one alcohol
that's not toxic, our bodies can metabolize it). Ethanol is mass-produced in
factories on an industrial scale, and is commonly used as a fuel (or mixed as an
additive into other fuels). The combustion reaction below shows that 6 molecules
of oxygen is required to completely burn two molecules of ethanol. How many
molecules of carbon dioxide are produced after burning ethanol?
ethanol + oxygen
carbon dioxide + water
20,H OH + 60,
+ 6H,0

- An adult takes about 12 breaths per minute, inhaling roughly 500 mL of air with each breath. The molar compositions of the inspired and expired gases are as follows: Species Inspired Gas (%) Expired Gas (%)O2 20.6 15.1CO2 0.0 3.7N2 77.4 75.0H2O 2.0 6.2The inspired gas is at 24°C and 1 atm, and the expired gas is at body temperature and pressure (37°C and 1 atm). Nitrogen is not transported into or out of the blood in the lungs. All nitrogen inhaled is exhaled. 1.

- 1. Bomb calorimeters are used to determine the heat of combustion of various samples like fuels. Benzoic acid (C6H5COOH) is typically used as a standard in calibrating bomb calorimeters . In a typical reaction 1.20 g of benzoic acid was burned in excess oxygen gas and releases 31.723 kJ of energy . The temperature of the water bath of the calorimeter is 24.6 degrees Celsius . A. Calculate heat B. Calculate change in internal energy C. Calculate work D. What is its change in enthalpyarrow_forwardWhich of the following correctly explains why the vapor pressure of water has to be included in the calculations? Some of the liquid water evaporates into the gas, and increases the total pressure generated by the trapped gas. As the H2(g) is bubbled up the reaction solution, some of the H2(g) molecules are solubilized by water in the aqueous solution, effectively decreasing the measured pressure above. The pressure contributed by the H2(g) is greater than the measured total pressure because of the contribution of partial pressure of water vapor. The pressure exerted by the evolved H2(g) is reduced because of the co-presence of water vapor, thus Pwater vapor has to be added to Pdry gas.

Your Answer: Answer unitsarrow_forwardIn addition to solid, liquid, and gas, we also have plasma. Plasma, the "fourth state," is characterized by lack of shape, and it cannot be classified as gas, liquid, or solid. Examples of plasma are plasma ball and the contents of a fluorescent bulb. The fifth state has already been discovered by scientists. It is called Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC), but in Grade 3, the focus of study is only on the three states of matter: solids, liquids, and gases. Let us have some exercises on grouping of matter.
