A weighed quantity of PCI5(s) is sealed in a 100.0-cm³ glass bulb to which a pressure gauge is attached. The bulb is heated to 250°C, and the gauge shows that the pressure in the bulb rises to 0.895 atm. At this temperature, the solid PCI, is all vaporized and also partially dissociated into Cl2(g) and PCI3(g) according to the equation PCI5(g) 2 PCI3(g) + Cl(g) At 250°C, K = 2.15 for this reaction. Assume that the contents of the bulb are at equilibrium and calculate the partial pressure of the three different chemical species in the vessel.

The human body burns glucose (C6H12O6) for energy according to this chemical reaction: C6H12O6+6O2→ 6CO2+6H2O The products of the reaction are carbon dioxide CO2 and water H2O Interestingly, all of the carbon dioxide and much of the water exits the body through the lungs: on every breath, the average person exhales 500.mL of air, which is typically enriched to 4% CO2 and 5% water vapor by volume. In short, when a person loses weight by dieting, the weight that is lost actually departs his body as a gas, every time he exhales. Each kilogram of body fat lost requires exhaling about 2.9kg of carbon dioxide. Calculate how many breaths it takes an average person to "exhale" 0.50kg of fat. Round your answer to the nearest thousand. You'll need to know that the density of CO2 is 2.0 kg/m^3 .
