Chemistry Which Box Has the Highest Pressure and Density?

AI Thread Summary
To determine the total pressure, partial pressure of nitrogen, and density in three boxes with varying mixtures of O2 and N2, the total pressure ranks as 2 < 1 < 3 based on the number of molecules. The partial pressure of nitrogen ranks as 2 < 3 < 1, reflecting the different amounts of nitrogen present. Density follows the same ranking as total pressure, with 2 < 1 < 3, since density is directly related to the number of molecules in a given volume. The calculations appear to be correct, confirming the relationships between the boxes. Understanding these concepts is crucial for analyzing gas mixtures effectively.

How to count molecules and determine density, partial pressure and total pressure?

Homework Statement



Consider three identical boxes each containing a different mixture of O2 and N2. In box #1 are 3 molecules of O2 and 7 molecules of N2. In box #2 are 1 molecule of O2 and 2 molecules of N2. In box #3 are 10 molecules of O2 and 3 molecules of N2. If temperature and volume for all three samples are the same, rank them (use "less than," "greater than," or equal symbols; 1< 2 < 3 or 2 > 1 = 3 with respect to:

a) total pressure

b)partial pressure of nitrogen

c)density


Homework Equations



My attempt is according to counting the number of molecules is

a) total pressure is 2 < 1 < 3

b) partial pressure is 2 < 3 < 1

c)density is 2 < 1 < 3

I want to just make sure and compare with someone if I am correct and if not please explain how to determine this thank you.

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
