You collect a sample of gases from an indoor pool area. the sample contains air and water vapor. the total pressure is 100.18 kilopascals, and the partial pressure of the water vapor is 3.36 kilopascals. what is the partial pressure of the air in the sample? a. 29.8 kpa b. 51.77 kpa c. 96.82 kpa d. 103.54 kpa e. 337 kpa

Here we have to choose the partial pressure exerted by the air in the given sample among the given options.

The partial pressure of the air in the sample is C. 96.82 kPa.

As per the Dalton's law of partial pressure the total pressure of the gas in the pool (P) is equivalent to the summation of the partial pressure of water vapor and air pressure.

Mathematically we may write:

Now the

Or, P_{Air}[/tex] = (100.18 - 3.36) kilopascals

Or, P_{Air}[/tex] = 96.82 Kilopascals.

Thus the partial pressure of the air in the sample is C. 96.82 kPa.

out of these options:

ability to burn paper

pure sodium reacting violently with water

the boiling point of water

helium does not tend to react with anything

i would say this is a physical property:

helium does not tend to react with anything

why? :

i said helium does not tend to react with anything because well, it reacts to ! but ability to burn paper, pure sodium reacting violently with water, & the boiling point of water are chemical or

physical properties: the properties of a substance that can be observed without changing the chemical makeup of the substance

chemical properties: properties of a substance relating to the chemical nature and reactivity of the substance

by cartels in other countries, shipped by air, mail, or land. i cant really see your answer choices : /
