The total pressure in a tank is filled with a mixture of gases : Oxygen, Helium, and Argon is 15.3 atm. The P(He) = 3.2 atm, P(O) = 7.4 atm, what is the P(Ar) in the tank?

4.7 atm

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Total pressure (P) = 15.3 atm

Pressure of Helium, P(He) = 3.2 atm

Pressure of Oxygen, P(O) = 7.4 atm

Pressure of Argon, P(Ar) =?

The pressure of Argon, P(Ar) in the tank can be obtained as illustrated below:

P = P(He) + P(O) + P(Ar)

15.3 = 3.2 + 7.4 + P(Ar)

15.3 = 10.6 + P(Ar)

Collect like terms

15.3 – 10.6 = P(Ar)

4.7 = P(Ar)

P(Ar) = 4.7 atm

Therefore, the pressure of Argon, P(Ar) in the tank is 4.7 atm

answer: option (4) is the correct answer.

explanation:

areas which are at low altitudes and near the equator tend to receive direct sunlight from the sun. hence, heat energy or radiations from the sun make these areas warmer and they have warmest water.

whereas areas which are at high altitudes and away from the equator do no receive direct sunlight. hence, no direct contact from the sun makes these regions colder and thus, they have colder water.

thus, we can conclude that the statement areas at low latitudes near the equator have the warmest water because they receive the most direct sunlight best explains the relationship between an area's geography and the temperature of its surface water.

the ideal gas law equation is as follows

pv = nrt

where p - pressure

v - volume

n - number of moles

r - universal gas constant

t - temperature

so if the pressure, volume and temperature are already known

we are left with n and r

since r is the universal gas constant that has a known fixed value then r too is known

so we are left with 'n'

once we know temperature volume and pressure

we can find the number of moles of gas present using the ideal gas law equation
