A) 62.9 mg
B) 123.6 mg
C) 48.9 mg
D) 285.4 mg

Solutions

Expert Solution

partial pressure of O2 = total pressure x mole fraction

                                    = 0.98 x 0.22

                                 = 0.2156 atm

molarity of O2 = KH x partial pressure

                         = 1.3 x 10^-3 x 0.2156

                        = 2.8028 x 10^-4 M

moles = molarity x volume

            = 2.8028 x 10^-4 x 7.0

            = 1.96 x 10^-3

mass of O2 = 1.96 x 10^-3 x molar mass

                     = 1.96 x 10^-3 x 32

                     = 0.0629 g

                     = 62.9 mg

answer : A) 62.9 mg

What are two (2) advantages of breathing air, compared with obtaining Dissolved Oxygen from water? (choose two answers) Air is much lighter and easier to move than water making respiration easier Air contains a much higher concentration of Oxygen than water Breathing atmospheric air does not require any loss of water Air-breathing requires no energy to ventilate the respiratory surfaces The reason animals need a continuous supply of Oxygen is to obtain the most energy from their food. make Carbon...
