A gas mixture contains oxygen and argon at partial pressures of 0.60atmand 425mmHg. If nitrogen gas added to the sample increase the total pressure to 1250torr, what is the partial pressure, in torr, of the nitrogen added?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The partial pressure of nitrogen is369torr.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

We have given the pressure of oxygen 0.60atmand argon is425mmHg.

02

Calculation

Considering the given conditions.

The partial pressure of oxygen pO2=0.60atm=0.60×760torrpO2=456torr,

the partial pressure of argon pAr=425torrand

total partial pressure ptotal=1250torr

Now, calculating the partial pressure of nitrogen

pN2=ptotal-pAr-pO2pN2=1250torr-425torr-456torrpN2=369torr

A head injury can affect the ability of a person to ventilate(breath in and out).

a. What would happen to the partial pressure of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood if a person cannot properly ventilate?

b. When a person who cannot breathe properly is placed on a ventilator, an air mixture is delivered at pressures that are alternately above the air pressure in the person's lung, and then below. How will this move oxygen into the lungs, and carbon dioxide out?

At a restaurant, a customer chokes on a piece of food. You put your arms around the person's waist and use your fists to push up on the person's abdomen, an action called the Heimlich maneuver.(8.2)

a. How would this action change the volume of the chest and lungs?

b. Why does it cause the person to expel the food item from the airway?

A gas sample has a pressure of 2.35atmwhen the temperature is -15°C. What is the final pressure, in atmospheres, when the temperature is 46°C, with no change in the volume or amount of gas?

An airplane is pressurized with air to 650mmHg.(8.7)

a. If air is 21%oxygen, what is the partial pressure of oxygen on the plane?

b. If the partial pressure of oxygen drops below 100mmHg. passengers become drowsy. If this happens, oxygen masks are released. What is the total cabin pressure at which oxygen masks are dropped?

Calculate the final pressure, in atmospheres, for each of the following, if V andn do not change:

a. A gas with an initial pressure of 1.20atm at75°C is cooled to -32°C.

b. A sample of N, with an initial pressure of 780.mmHg at -75°C is heated to28°C.
