You are in a submarine, the hallway in front of you is connected to two rooms. the hallway has a capacity of 300.0 l and is filled with 35.0 atm of helium gas. room a has a capacity of 200.0 l and holds 20.0 atm of nitrogen gas. room b has 40.0 atm of oxygen gas in 180.0 l. a. if you open both rooms to the hallway, what would be pressure of each gas in the combined space of the hallway and two rooms? b. what would be the mol fraction of oxygen in that gas? c. after mixing the gases, if you let gas escape until the total pressure in the hallway was 1.2 atm, what would be the final partial pressure of oxygen?

a)

He pressure: 15,44 atm

N₂ pressure: 5,88 atm

O₂ pressure: 10,59 atm

b) 33,2% O₂

c) Partial pressure of O₂ is 10,59 atm

Explanation:

To solve this problem you can use gas law:

PV = nRT

You can assume temperature is constant and define "k" as RT to obtain:

PV = nk -Where the k value depends of the temperature and it is possible to assume this as 1-

Thus, the moles of He are: 35,0×300,0 = 10500 moles of He

Moles of nitrogen: 200,0*20,0 = 4000 moles of N₂

Moles of oxygen: 180,0*40,0 = 7200 moles of O₂

a) The pressure of each gas is n/V where V is the sum of each room volume (300,0L + 200,0L + 180,0L = 680,0L)

He pressure: 10500moles/680 = 15,44 atm

N₂ pressure: 4000moles/680 = 5,88 atm

O₂ pressure: 7200moles/680 = 10,59 atm

b) The mole fraction of O₂ is:

33,2% O₂

c) The moles of O₂ and N₂ are the same, Thus, partial pressure of O₂ is the same, 10,59 atm.

I hope it helps!

answer : a model is often used to explain and make things easier to understand when any scientific topic needs to be demonstrated and explained.

as in this case where a scientist wants to use a model to present the results of his detailed scientific investigation. he should do it as it will him to make the audience understand the concept in a much better way. also, it can be changed according to new scientific understandings.

answer:

technetium is the most reactive. this is followed by silver. the least reactive out of these three elements is strontium.
