Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
If the given statement is true or false should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Partial pressure is the pressure that a gas in a container would exert when it was alone in the container.
Dalton’s law of partial pressures states that the total pressure of a mixture of gases is the sum of the partial pressure of each gas.
(b)
Interpretation:
If the given statement is true or false should be determined.

- 5-33 A certain quantity of helium gas is at a temperature of 27 °C and a pressure of 1.00 atm. What will the new temperature be if its volume is doubled at the same time that its pressure is decreased to one-half its original value?arrow_forward5-111 Diving, particularly SCUBA (Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus) diving, subjects the body to increased pressure. Each 10. m (approximately 33 ft) of water exerts an additional pressure of 1 atm on the body. (a) What is the pressure on the body at a depth of 100. ft? (b) The partial pressure of nitrogen gas in air at 1 atm is 593 mm Hg. Assuming a SCUBA diver breathes compressed air, what is the partial pressure of nitrogen entering the lungs from a breathing tank at a depth of 100. ft? (c) The partial pressure of oxygen gas in the air at 2 atm is 158 mm Hg. What is the partial pressure of oxygen in the air in the lungs at a depth of 100. ft? (d) Why is it absolutely essential to exhale vigorously in a rapid ascent from a depth of 100. ft?arrow_forward5-25 A gas in a bulb as in Figure 5-3 registers a pressure of 833 mm Hg in the manometer in which the reference arm of the U-shaped tube (A) is sealed and evacuated. What will the difference in the mercury levels be if the reference arm of the U-shaped tube is open to atmospheric pressure (760 mm Hg)?arrow_forward
- 5-34 A sample of 30.0 mL of krypton gas, Kr, is at 756 mm Hg and 25.0°C. What is the new volume if the pressure is decreased to 325 mm Hg and the temperature is decreased to-12.5°C?arrow_forwardA typical barometric pressure in Kansas City is 740 torr. What is this pressure in atmospheres, in millimeters of mercury, and in kilopascals?arrow_forward5-35 A 26.4-mL sample of ethylene gas, C2H4, has a pressure of 2.50 atm at 2.5°C. If the volume is increased to 36.2 mL and the temperature is raised to 10°C, what is the new pressure?arrow_forward
