Mole Concept

Mole concept is a method to determine the amount of any substance that consists of some elemental particles using a grouping unit called ‘mole’. The mole concept enables one to handle the large amount of small elementary particles. The mole concept can be used in many calculations related to mole calculation, molar amount, mole ratio, and so on, which are significant in chemistry.

Question

Partial pressures
The scene below depicts a mixture of four gases.
(1) Which gas has the highest partial pressure?
(2) Which gas has the lowest partial pressure?
(3) If the total pressure is 1.75 atm, the partial pressure of the orange gas is
atm. (Report as a number to two decimal places.)
(4) When the total pressure of a mixture of gases is lowered, the partial pressures of individual gases are also reduced. Suppose you are in an airplane, flying at
an altitude of 18,000 ft. where the external air pressure is 0.49 atm, and the cabin suddenly depressurized. If oxygen gas constitutes 21 mol% of the atmosphere,
what is the partial pressure of oxygen that you encounter?
atm. Do you think you will survive if your body requires at least 0.15 atm O, for your
blood to be sufficiently oxygenated?
