How is 4.3 x 10^-3 the answer to this question? A sample of air from a home is found to contain 6.2 ppm of carbon monoxide. This means that if the total pressure is 695 torr, then the partial pressure of CO is..................4.3 x 10^-3.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The partial pressure of CO2 is equal to the total pressure * molar fraction of CO2.

To give 4.3 * 10^-3, they are using molar fraction = 6.2 * 10^ - 6

Because, 695 * 6.2-10^-6 = 0.004309 = 4.309 * 10^-3 = 4.3 * 10^-3.

Then the new question is why the molar fraction is consideres to be the same ppm concentration. This is because ppm means parts per million, and in this case, they are considering that the parts are moles (usually it is grams, but it is not the case, given the result).

 6.2 ppm = 6.2 / 1,000,000 = 6.2*10^-6, which is the number used above to multiply the total pressure and get the partial pressure of CO2.

If you had not told me that the result was 4.3 * 10^-3, I had assumedthat 6.2 was referred to grams and not moles and I had made a conversionusing the molar masses of the air and the CO2 but, again, this is not the case.

Answer 2
Answer:

Final answer:

The partial pressure of CO in a home with air containing 6.2 ppm CO, when the total air pressure is 695 torr, can be calculated by (6.2 ÷ 1,000,000) x 695, which equals 4.3 x 10^-3 torr.

Explanation:

The partial pressure of a gas is the individual pressure contribution a single type of gas makes to the overall pressure of a gas mixture. In this case, a sample of air from a home was found to contain 6.2 parts per million (ppm) of carbon monoxide (CO). To calculate the actual pressure of CO in the room, we can use the fact that 1 ppm = 1 part of the substance per 1,000,000 parts of air.

To do so, we need to multiply thetotal pressure of the air, which is 695 torr, by the ratio of the CO to the total volume of the air. That would be: (6.2 ÷ 1,000,000) x 695 = 4.3 x 10-3 torr. Hence, that is how 4.3 x 10-3 is derived as the partial pressure of CO in this context.

An auto weighing 2,500 pounds is on a street inclined at 10 with the horizontal. Find the force necessary to prevent the car from rolling down the hill. Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Do not use a space or decimal in your answer or it will be marked wrong.

Answers

Answer:

13892 lb-ft/sec^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that An auto weighing 2,500 pounds is on a street inclined at 10 with the horizontal.

Here acceleration due to gravity is the pulling factor against which the car should be stopped from rolling down the hill.

Weight of the car =2500 pounds

Vertical component of gravity = 32cos (90-10)=32sin 10 = 32(0.1736)

Force required = mass x acceleration

=2500x0.1736x32

=13892 lb ft/sec^2

Make sure your calculator is set to DEGREES and not RADIANS when performing your sinθ calculation. sin(10) = -0.54402 sin(10°) = 0.17365 You could also try using trig tables if you're unsure how to do this. So: 2500sin(10°) = 434 lb

How is the graph of log (x – 5) translated from the graph of log x?

Answers

Answer:

The graph of y=logx shifts 5 units right to get the graph of y=log(x – 5).

Step-by-step explanation:

The parent log function is

y=\log x

The translation of the function is defined as

y=\log (x+a)+b                .... (1)

Where, a is horizontal shift and b is vertical shift.

If a>0, then the graph shifts a units left and if a<0, then the graph shifts a units right.

If b>0, then the graph shifts b units up and if b<0, then the graph shifts b units down.

The given function is

y=\log (x-5)               .... (2)

From (1) and (2), we get

a=-5,b=0

Since a=-5<0, therefore the graph of y=logx shifts 5 units right to get the graph of y=log(x – 5).

The transformation of g(x) to f(x) is g(x) is shifted left by 5 unit to f(x).

Describing the transformation of f(x) to g(x).

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

The functions f(x) and g(x)

Where, we have

f(x) = log(x - 5)

g(x) = log(x)

So, we have

Difference = 5 - 0

Evaluate

Difference = 5

This means that the transformation of g(x) to f(x) is g(x) is shifted left by 5 unit to f(x).

Ashley was going to sell all of her stamp collection to buy a video game. After selling half of them she changed her mind. She then bought nine more. How many did she start with if she now has 39?

Answers

Well in this problem we just have to work backwards doing everything opposite of what she did in order to get the final answer.
so she has 39 stamps at this moment. and since she bought nine more stamps lets subtract that value to see what she had before that.
 1.) 39 - 9 = 30
now she has 30. but she said that before step one she sold half of them to buy that video game. so she divided her starting number by two. so again we are going to work backwards by multiplying the number by 2:)
2.) 30 x 2 = 60!!
3.) So she started out with 60 stamps 
answer is 60:)

The standard diameter of a golf ball is 42.67 mm. A golf ball factory does quality control on the balls it manufactures. Golf balls are randomly measured to ensure the correct size. One day, an inspector decides to stop production if the discrepancy in diameter is more than 0.002 mm. Which function could represent this situation?A. f(x ) = x – |42.67|
B. f(x ) = |x| – 42.67
C. f(x ) = |42.67 – x|
D. f(x ) = 42.67 – |x|

Answers

The correct answer is:
C) f(x)=|42.67-x|.

Explanation:
Production will be stopped if the difference in diameter is greater than 0.002 mm.
This difference can mean that the golf ball has a diameter more than 0.002 larger than 42.67 mm, or a diameter more than 0.002 smaller than 42.67. This is the reason for using an absolute value function.
 Absolute value represents the distance a number is from 0. For this function, we would want only the values where the function is less than 0.002.
