IF THE QUANTITY OF OXYGEN OCCUPYING 2.76L CONTAINER AT A PRESSURE OF 0.825 ATM AND 300K IS REDUCED BY ONE-HALF, WHAT IS THE PRESSURE EXERTED BY THE REMAINING GAS
A. 1.650atm B. 0.825atm C. 0.413atm ✓ D. 0.275atm The answer to the question is: C. 0.413atm To solve this problem, we can use the ideal gas law equation, which states that PV = nRT, where P is the pressure, V is…
IF 1.5 MOLES OF OXYGEN REACTS WITH SULPHUR (IV) OXIDE, CALCULATE THE MASS OF TETRAOXOSULPHATE(VI) ACID PRODUCED
To calculate the mass of tetraoxosulfate (VI) acid produced when 1.5 moles of oxygen reacts with sulfur (IV) oxide, we need to determine the balanced chemical equation for the reaction first. The balanced equation is as follows: 2SO2 + O2…
UNDERSTANDING THE SCIENCE OF OXYGEN TRANSPORT
Introduction Oxygen transport refers to the process by which oxygen is transported from the lungs, where it is absorbed into the bloodstream, to the body’s tissues, where it is used for cellular respiration. This process involves several steps and components,…
OXYGEN DEBT
The oxygen needed to oxidize lactic acid to pyruvic acid and from pyruvic acid to carbon oxide, water and chemical energy is called Oxygen debt. The quick heavy breathing to take in oxygen to the muscle cells lacking oxygen in…
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
Respiratory system includes all the organs and tissues associated with the exchange of gases between an animal and its environment, leading to the release of energy. The purpose of respiration is to supply oxygen to the cells which oxidise or…
ATMOSPHERIC RESOURCES
Atmospheric resources are those elements such as wind, water, sunlight and gases found in the atmosphere which are of benefit to man, animals and plants. Types of Atmospheric Resources Atmospheric gases, e.g. oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, water vapour, ozone layer…
