Three of the primary components of air are
carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and oxygen. In a
sample containing a mixture of only these
gases at exactly one atmosphere pressure, the
partial pressures of carbon dioxide and ni-
trogen are given as Pco, = 0.285 torr and
PN = 634.034 torr. What is the partial pres-
sure of oxygen?
Answer in units of torr.

125.681 torr

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the partial pressure of oxygen:

P(O2) = Pcommon - PCO2 - PN2

1 atm = 760 torr

Therefore you need to find the partial pressure of oxygen:

P(O2) = 760 torr -0.285 torr - 634.034 torr =130.013 torr

"hydrogen bonding is the attraction of h atoms in the water molecule (slight + charge) to o atoms in a neighboring water molecule (slight - charge); it is a weak interatomic force. but it is still strong enough to the water molecules "stick" together."

in 1783 cavendish was working with his hydrogen gas and found that when he burned it and condensed the vapor it was water. this was very significant since it disproved the greek theory of elements completely since water was not a simple substance but the product of two gases. it was lavoisier who hearing of the experiment gave cavendish's gas the name hydrogen ("water-producer") and added that hydrogen burned by combining with oxygen and that water was a hydrogen-oxygen combination.
