The total pressure of a mixture of hydrogen, oxygen, and methane is 96.4 kPa. The partial pressures of hydrogen and oxygen are 13.5 kPa and 29.3 kPa respectively. What is the partial pressure of methane?

A. 139.2 kPa
B. 53.6 kPa
C. 82.9 kPa
D. 42.8 kPa

53.7kPa

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Total pressure of the mixture  = 96.4kPa

partial pressure of hydrogen  = 13.4kPa

partial pressure of oxygen  = 29.3kPa

Unknown:

partial pressure of methane  = ?

Solution:

The total pressure of mixture is equal to the sum of their particles pressures;

   Partial pressure of methane  = 96.4kPa - (13.4kPa + 29.3kPa)

  Partial pressure of methane = 53.7kPa

"you start with 15.67 g mgco3-xh2o, when heated and all the water is removed, you are left with 7.58 g mgco3 only.

therefore, you had 15.67 - 7.58 = 8.09g h2o  

moles of each :

7.58g mgco3 = ? moles = 7.58g / 83.4g/mole = 0.09moles  

8 09g h2o = ? moles = 8.09g / 18g/mole = 0.44moles  

molar ratio between the two by dividing both numbers by the smallest number :

0.09 / 0.09 = 1  

0.44 / 0.09 = 4.8  

mgco3-5h2o"

answer: they produce more slow than unicellular organisms.
