If a container holds 1mol of hydrogen, 2.5mol of helium, and 2mol of oxygen at a total pressure of 4atm, what is the partial pressure of the oxygen gas?

Partial pressure O₂  = 1.78 atm

Explanation:

We can apply the mole fraction to solve the question:

Moles of gas / Total moles = Partial pressure of gas / Total pressure

Total moles = 1 H₂ + 2.5 He + 2O₂ = 4.5 moles

2 mol O₂ / 4.5 mol = Partial pressure O₂ / 4 atm

(2 mol O₂ / 4.5 mol ) . 4 atm = Partial pressure O₂  → 1.78 atm

The partial pressure of oxygen is 1.45 atm

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Number of moles of hydrogen = 1 mol

Number of moles of helium = 2.5 mol

Number of moles of oxygen = 2 mol

Total pressure = 4 atm

Step 2: Calcualte total number of moles

Total number of moles = number of moles of hydrogen + number of moles of helium + number of moles of oxygen = 1 + 2.5 + 2 = 5.5 mol

Step 3: Calculate mol fraction of oxygen

Mol fraction oxygen = 2 mol / 5.5 mol = 0.3636

Step 4: Calculate partial pressure of oxygen

Partial pressure of oxygen = mol fraction of oxygen * total pressure

Partial pressure of oxygen = 0.3636 * 4 atm = 1.45 atm

The partial pressure of oxygen is 1.45 atm

smooth muscle is composed of involuntary muscles found within the walls of organs and structures such as the esophagus, stomach, intestines, and blood vessels. those muscles push materials like food or blood through organs. unlike skeletal muscle, smooth muscle can never be under your control.

it can be observed without changing the identity of the object.

it depends on what substance you're talking about as well as many other factors. in quantum mechanics, the observation of particles affects the observers ability to measure certain properties. for example: you can know the velocity of a particle, but you can't know it's position; or you can know it's position, but not it's velocity. it's like trying to find out where a grain of sand is by throwing other grains of sand at it. once you find out where it is, it's been moved. it's also like trying to find an answer to the question of whether or not a tree falling in a forest makes a sound if nobody is there to hear it. paradoxically, the only way to find out is to be there and hear it.
