- A sample of carbon monoxide was collected over water at a total pressure of 756 torr and a temperature of 18 °C. What is the pressure of the carbon monoxide? (See Table 9.2 for the vapor pressure of water.)arrow_forwardMost mixtures of hydrogen gas with oxygen gas are explosive. However, a mixture that contains less than 3.0 % O2 is not. If enough O2 is added to a cylinder of H2 at 33.2 atm to bring the total pressure to 3-13 atm, is the mixture explosive?arrow_forwardAs 1 g of (lie radioactive element radium decays over 1 year. k produces 1.161018 alpha particles (helium nuclei). Each alpha particle becomes an atom of helium gas. What is the pressure ¡n pascal of the helium gas produced if it occupies a volume of 125 mL at a temperature of 25 C?arrow_forward
