Answer:

When the T-shirt comes out of the clothes dryer, it is so warm that molecules from the detergent and fabric soft ener are likely to have changed phase and become gases. When they reach your nose, you are able to smell them.

(a) if a sample containing 2.00 ml of nitroglycerin is detonated, how many total moles of gas are produced? (b) if each mole of

gregori [183]

Detonation of nitroglycerin:

$4C_3H_5N_3O_9 ------\ \textgreater \ 12CO_2+6N_2+O_2+H_2O$

Mass nitroglycerin = 2.00 mL x 1.592 g/mL = 3.184 g

Moles = mass / molar mass = 3.184 g/ 227.0872 g/mol = 0.01402

the ratio between nitroglycerin and Carbon dioxide is 4 : 12
So, moles CO2 = 0.01402 x 12 / 4 =0.0420

the ratio between nitroglycerin and N2 is 4 : 6
moles N2 = 0.01402 x 6 / 4 =0.0841

the ratio between nitroglycerin and O2 is 4 : 1 
moles O2 = 0.01402 x 1 / 4 = 0.0035

the ratio between nitroglycerin and water is 4 : 1 
in the same way moles water = 0.005258 

total moles = 0.0420 + 0.0841 + 0.0035 + 0.005258 = 0.130758

0.130758 x 55 = 5.78 L 

Mass N2 = 0.0841 mol x 28.0134 g/mol = 2.3548 g

Vitamin C contains the elements C, H, and O. It is known to contain 40.9% C and 4.58% H by mass. The molar mass of vitamin C has

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

C₆H₈O₆

Explanation:

First off, the percent of oxygen by mass of vitamin C is:

100 - (40.9+4.58) = 54.52 %

Assume we have one mol of vitamin C. Then we would have 180 grams, of which:

180 * 40.9/100 = 73.62 grams are of Carbon

180 * 4.58/100 = 8.224 grams are of Hydrogen

180 * 54.52/100 = 98.136 grams are of Oxygen

Now we convert each of those masses to moles, using the elements' respective atomic mass:

C ⇒ 73.62 g ÷ 12 g/mol = 6.135 mol C ≅ 6 mol C

H ⇒ 8.224 g ÷ 1 g/mol = 8.224 mol H ≅ 8 mol H

O ⇒ 98.136 g ÷ 16 g/mol = 6.134 mol O ≅ 6 mol O

So the molecular formula for vitamin C is C₆H₈O₆

Which compound can act as both a Bronsted-Lowry acid and a Bronsted-Lowry base?

Dvinal [7]

The answer is A. Water

Bronsted-Lowry base compounds are those that can accept protons

Bronsted-Lowry Acid Compounds are those that can recieve one

Water / H2O is an Amphoteric compund which mean that its molecul can act as a Base and Acid compound, so the answer is A.

describe in general terms an experiment to determine the molal freezing point depression constant kf of water. Assume the availa

Dvinal [7]

A solution (in this experiment solution of NaNO₃) freezes at a lower temperature than does the pure solvent (deionized water). The higher the solute concentration (sodium nitrate), freezing point depression of the solution will be greater.
Equation describing the change in freezing point:
ΔT = Kf · b · i.
ΔT - temperature change from pure solvent to solution.
Kf - the molal freezing point depression constant.
b - molality (moles of solute per kilogram of solvent).
i - Van’t Hoff Factor.
First measure freezing point of pure solvent (deionized water). Than make solutions of NaNO₃ with different molality and measure separately their freezing points. Use equation to calculate Kf.

the elements iron and oxygen can react to form the compound iron oxide. what type of reaction is this? please explain.

rjkz [21]

Your reaction
.. Fe + O2 ---> FexOy
for this reaction..
.. the Fe on the left is in the 0 oxidation state
.. the Fe on the right is in the +(2y/x) oxidation state
.. the O on the left is in the 0 oxidation state
.. the O on the right is in the -2 oxidation state
meaning
.. the O is reduced... . . (it's reduced in oxidation state)
.. the Fe is oxidized.. . .(oxidation state increased)
this is a REDOX reaction

*********
AND.. it's also a synthesis reaction.. (aka combination reaction)
