A lighter like the one shown below uses a substance called butane as its fuel. The butane can be burned to create a flame at the

tip of the lighter.
a butane lighter


A teacher shows some of her students that the fuel inside the lighter's fuel tank is a liquid. But when she pushes the button that lets the fuel out of the lighter, they observe that it comes out as a gas. She and her students decide to investigate to discover what makes the butane change from a liquid to a gas.


Which step of an investigation would best help them determine what causes the change of state?

A.

calculating the volume of the lighter's fuel tank

B.

comparing lighters that use different kinds of fuel

C.

measuring the pressure inside the lighter's fuel tank

D.

heating butane gas to see if it changes state

Part of the investigation must be measuring the pressure inside the lighter fuel tank.

<h3>What is the pressure of a gas?</h3>

The pressure of gas measures how compact the gas molecules are. We know that the more compacted the gas molecules are, the more likely the gas will exist in the liquid state.

Hence, part of the investigation must be measuring the pressure inside the lighter  fuel tank.

which statement describes the types of change and the chemical properties of the product and reactants
son4ous [18]
I believe the equation represents a chemical change, with the product and reactants having different chemical properties. In a chemical reaction there is a change in the composition of the substances in question and also a new substance is formed, while in physical reactions or changes there is a difference in appearance and no new substance is formed.

The human body excretes nitrogen in the form of urea, NH₂CONH₂. The key step in its biochemical formation is the reaction of wat
Misha Larkins [42]

Mass perventage of nitrogen in urea, arginine, ornithine is   46.67%, 32.2%,21% respectively.

What is Mass perventage ?

Mass percentage is one way of representing the concentration of an element in a compound or a component in a mixture. Mass percentage is calculated as the mass of a component divided by the total mass of the mixture, multiplied by 100.

Molecular mass of urea (NH2CONH2) is= 2× (Atomic mass of N ) + 4 × (Atomic mass of H) + (Atomic mass of C) (Atomic mass of O) = 60

Mass percentage of N = Total mass of N atoms in the compoundMass of compound×100=2860×100=46.67%

chemical formula for arginine is C6H14N4O2

molar mass of C6H14N4O2=174g/mol

moles of N atoms in C6H14N4O2=4

mass of N atoms=14*4=56g

mass percent of N in C6H14N4O2=(56/174)*100=32.2%

the chemical formula for ornithine is C5H12N2O2

molar mass of C5H12N2O2=132g/mol

moles of N atoms in C5H12N2O2=2

mass of N atoms in C5H12N2O2=2*14=28

mass percent of N in C5H12N2O2=(28/132)*100=21%

A 187.4g sample of C3H5(NO3)3 decomposes to produce carbon dioxide, water, diatomic oxygen and diatomic nitrogen.
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is as follws;

4 C3H5(NO3)3 (l) → 12 CO2 (g) + 10 H2O (l) + 6 N2 (g) + O2 (g)

Number of moles of C3H5(NO3)3 = 187.4g /227 g/mol = 0.82555 moles

If 4 moles of C3H5(NO3)3 yields 12 moles of CO2

0.83 moles of C3H5(NO3)3 yields 0.82555 * 12/4 = 2.47665 moles of CO2

mass of CO2 produced = 2.47665 moles * 44 g/mol = 108.95 g of CO2

4 moles of C3H5(NO3)3 yields  10 moles of water

0.83 moles of C3H5(NO3)3 yields 0.82555 * 10/4 = 2.063875 moles of water

Mass of water = 2.063875 moles of water * 18 g/mol = 37.16 g

4 moles of C3H5(NO3)3 yields 1 mole of O2

0.83 moles of C3H5(NO3)3  yields 0.82555 * 1/4 = 0.2063875 moles of O2

Mass of O2 = 0.2063875 moles of O2 * 32 g/mol = 6.6 g

4 moles of C3H5(NO3)3 yields 6 moles of N2

0.83 moles of C3H5(NO3)3 yields 0.82555 * 6/4 = 1.238325 moles of N2

Mass of N2= 1.238325  moles of N2  *  28 g/mol = 34.67 g

To verify the law of conservation of mass, the total sum of mass of products must equal the sum of the mass of reactants. Thus;

108.95 g + 37.16 g +  6.6 g + 34.67 g = 187.4 g

The law of conservation of mass has been proven!
