Answer:

Volume = 480 cubic inches

Explanation:

We have the following relationships to work with

width w = h -3

length l = h + 4

area of base of prism a = l x w = 60  (1)

area of base in terms of h = (h-3)(h+4) =h² -3h + 4h -12 (2)

Setting (1) = (2) gives

h² + h -12 =60

h² + h -72 = 0

Factoring the LHS we get

(h+9)(h-8) = 0

The solutions for h are

h + 9 = 0 ==> h = -9

h - 8 = 0 ==> h = 8

Since h cannot be negative, h = 8 inches

Volume = base area x h = 60 x 8 = 480 cubic inches

<u>Note</u>

We do not have to calculate length and width separately, but if so,

w = 8 -3 = 5

l = 8 + 4 = 12

How many moles of h2o are produced when 64. 0 g c2h2 burn in oxygen?.
blondinia [14]

Balance the combustion reaction:

a C₂H₂ + b O₂   →   c CO₂ + d H₂O

Count the atoms on both sides of the reaction:

• C : 2a = c

• H : 2a = 2d

• O : 2b = 2c + d

Let a = 1; then c = 2 and d = 1, and it follows that

2b = 2•2 + 1 = 5

so that b = 5/2, and the balanced reaction is

1 C₂H₂ + 5/2 O₂   →   2 CO₂ + 1 H₂O

or, with integer coefficients,

2 C₂H₂ + 5 O₂   →   4 CO₂ + 2 H₂O

C₂H₂ has a molar mass of about 26.038 g/mol, so we have a starting amount of

(64.0 g) (1/26.038 mol/g) ≈ 2.46 mol C₂H₂

According to the reaction, we produce H₂O in a 1-to-1 ratio with the C₂H₂ that is burned up, so we end up with about 2.46 mol H₂O.

The electrical conductivity of an aqueous solution depends on the concentration
ch4aika [34]

<em>The concentration, mobility, and valence state of the ionized species in a solution, as well as the temperature at which the measurement is done, all have a role. The conductivity of water increases with the concentration of ions in it.</em>
