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.

Select the properly written and balanced equation for the following chemical reaction: Sodium metal and an aqueous solution of m
Setler [38]

Answer:2Na(s)+MgI_2 (aq)\rightarrow 2NaI(aq)+Mg(s)

Explanation: The chemical reaction is written by writing down the chemical formulas of the reactants on the left hand side and the chemical formulas of products on the right hand side separated by a right arrow.

This is a single displacement reaction in which a more reactive element displaces the less reactive element from its salt solution. Thus sodium is more reactive than Mg and thus displaces it from MgI_2.

2Na(s)+MgI_2 (aq)\rightarrow 2NaI(aq)+Mg(s)

The number of atoms of each element must be same on both sides of the reaction so as to follow the law of conservation of mass. Thus the equation is balanced.

Chamber 1 and Chamber 2 have equal volumes of 1.0L and are assumed to be rigid containers. The chambers are connected by a valve
vitfil [10]
1) At tne same temperature and with the same volume, initially the chamber 1 has the dobule of moles of gas  than the chamber 2, so the pressure in the chamber 1 ( call it p1) is the double of the pressure of chamber 2 (p2)

=> p1 = 2 p2

Which is easy to demonstrate using ideal gas equation:

p1 = nRT/V = 2.0 mol * RT / 1 liter

p2 = nRT/V = 1.0 mol * RT / 1 liter

=> p1 / p2 = 2.0 / 1.0 = 2 => p1 = 2 * p2

2) Assuming that when the valve is opened there is not change in temperature, there will be 1.00 + 2.00 moles of gas in a volumen of 2 liters.

So, the pressure in both chambers (which form one same vessel) is:

p = nRT/V = 3.0 mol * RT / 2liter

which compared to the initial pressure in chamber 1, p1, is:

p / p1 = (3/2) / 2 = 3/4 => p = (3/4)p1

So, the answer is that the pressure in the chamber 1 decreases to 3/4 its original pressure.

You can also see how the pressure in chamber 2 changes:

p / p2 = (3/2) / 1 = 3/2, which means that the pressure in the chamber 2 decreases to 3/2 of its original pressure.

A newly discovered element, Z, has two naturally occurring isotopes. 90.3 percent of the sample is an isotope with a mass of 267
blsea [12.9K]
atomic mass=percentage of isotope a * mass of  isotope a + percentage of isotope b * mass of  isotope b+...+percentage of isotope n * mass of isotope n.

Data:
mass of isotope₁=267.8 u
percentage of isotope₁=90.3%

mass of isotope₂=270.9 u
percentage of isotope₂=9.7%

Therefore:

atomic mass=(0.903)(267.8 u)+(0.097)(270.9 u)=
=241.8234 u + 26.2773 u≈268.1 u

Answer: the mass atomic of this element would be 268.1 u
