Question

If the rms speed of oxygen molecules inside a refrigerator of volume 22.0 ft.³ is 465 m/s, what is the partial pressure of the oxygen? There are 5.71 moles of oxygen in the refrigerator, and the molar mass of oxygen is 32.0 g/mol.

a) 1.0 Pa
b) 2.0 Pa
c) 3.0 Pa
d) 4.0 Pa

Answer 1

To find the partial pressure of oxygen in the refrigerator, we need to know the total pressure.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the partial pressure of oxygen in the refrigerator, we can use the formula:

Partial Pressure = (Number of Moles of Oxygen/Total Number of Moles) * Total Pressure

Given that there are 5.71 moles of oxygen in the refrigerator, and the total pressure is not given in the question, we cannot calculate the partial pressure without this information.
