Zinc metal is added to hydrochloric acid to generate hydrogen gas, which is collected over a liquid whose vapor pressure is the same as pure water at 20.0°c (18 torr). the volume of the gas mixture is 1.7 l and its total pressure is 0.810 atm. determine the partial pressure of the hydrogen gas in this mixture.

The partial pressure of the hydrogen gas is 0.786 atm

Explanation:

In this case, the gas mixture contains the vapor from the liquid, and hydrogen gas. Before we do any calculations, we need to convert 18 torr into atm:

Then we use the equation of Dalton's law, which states that the total pressure of a gas mixture is equal to the sum of the partial pressure of its components:

Where is the total pressure, is the partial pressure of hydrogen, and is the partial pressure of the vapor of the liquid.

Replacing the data we know:

0.810 atm= + 0.0237 atm

= 0.786 atm

bacteria that live on the ocean floor are sustained by phytoplankton. phytoplankton, microscopic marine photosynthetic organisms, have a vastly significant role to play not only in the marine food web of which they’re part of, but also on a more global scale. despite their infinitely small size in comparison to other marine organisms, these tiny creatures occupy an immensely important ecological niche: they are the foundation of the marine food web, and as primary producers, play key roles in supporting all other organisms in the marine environment, as well as in the regulation of the earth’s climate through the sequestration of carbon, oxygen production, and other related processes. phytoplankton account for roughly half of all global primary productivity; therefore, their significance extends far beyond the marine environment alone. there is an intriguing sense of irony in the realization that these tiny living beings that often live out their existence unnoticed and undetected by the rest of the world, have such a far-reaching impact on the lives of virtually all other living organisms on the planet, particularly on those in the marine environment. the world that we have become accustomed to has been and is continuously shaped by the workings of these miniscule yet vital “plants of the sea”.

hope this !
