Concept explainers
Interpretation: The partial pressure for carbon dioxide present in dry air under given pressure conditions should be calculated.
Concept Introduction:
Partial pressure: The partial pressure for a gas is obtained by the multiplication of total pressure of the gas with the mole fraction of the gas. It is the pressure of individual gas present in the mixture of gases.
Mole Fraction: The mole fraction is given by dividing concentration of one component in the mixture by the total components present in the mixture.
To calculate: The partial pressure for the carbon dioxide in dry air under given pressure conditions.

- What is the biological importance of stratospheric ozone? Explain.arrow_forwardCalcium carbide, CaC2, is manufactured by reducing lime with carbon at high temperature. (The carbide is used in turn to make acetylene, an industrially important organic chemical.) Is the reaction endothermic or exothermic?arrow_forwardAs weather balloons rise from the earths surface, the pressure of the atmosphere becomes less, tending to cause the volume of the balloons to expand. However, the temperatura is much lower in the upper atmosphere than at sea level. Would this temperatura effect tend to make such a balloon expand or contract? Weather balloons do, in fact, expand as they rise. What does this tell you?arrow_forward
