Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The explanation for skating on ice has to be given based on phase diagram for water.
Concept introduction:
Phase diagrams:
The different phases of a system can be represented in a diagram called a phase diagram. The phase diagram of
Phase diagram of water:
Solid ice is stable at low temperature and liquid water is stable at moderate temperature and high pressure. At high temperature and low pressure, gas phase is the stable one.
(b)
Interpretation:
Skating on dry ice is possible or not has to be determined.

- Refer to chemical equation shown here to explain why carbon dioxide dissolved in water acts as a buffer. H2O+CO2<>H2CO3<>H++HCO3arrow_forwardThe vapour pressure of water at blood temperature is 47 Torr. What is the partial pressure of dry air in our lungs when the total pressure is 760 Torr?arrow_forwardA helium gas cylinder of the sort used to fill balloons has a volume of 0.180 m3 and a pressure of 150 X 105 Pa (150 atm) at 298 K (25 °C). How many moles of helium are in the tank? How many grams?arrow_forward
- Why does a lower salinity of water increase the solubility of gas?arrow_forwardState the reversible chemical equation for the reaction of carbon dioxide and water to carbonic acid and then to hydrogen ion and bicarbonate ion.arrow_forwardCalculate the enthalpy of vaporization at the normal boiling point (760 mmHg) of the liquid(water, boiling point of 100 celsius).arrow_forward
- Write the equation for the dissociation (separation) of water and label the hydrogen & hydroxide ions?arrow_forwardThe following equation shows the reaction of baking soda (NaHCO3) and hydrochloric acid (HCl). NaHCO3+HCl → CO2+H2O+NaCl If you have 3.0 grams of NaHCO3, how many moles of HCl are needed for a complete relation?arrow_forwardHow many kilocalories are needed to vaporize 5.8 mol of Br2?arrow_forward
- What is the vapor pressure of a liquid?arrow_forwardConsider the cigarette smoke contain an average of 450 ppm carbon monoxide. If the average oxygen content in the air in the lungs is 19%, what percentage of the saturation level would the COHb concentration ultimately reach? Please provide the calculationarrow_forwardCalculate the hydrogen ion concentration, [H+], for each of the following materials: (a) Blood plasma, pH 7.4 (b) Orange juice, pH 3.5 (c) Human urine, pH 6.2 (d) Household ammonia, pH 11.5 (e) Gastric juice, pH 1.8arrow_forward
