The average density of the peat moss in units of g/cm³ is 2.52 g/cm³

<h3>How to convert 40 lb to grams (g)</h3>

We'lol begin by converting 40 lb to grams (g). This can be obtained as follow:

1 lb = 453.592 g

Therefore,

40 lb = (40 × 453.592) / 1 lb

40 lb = 18143.68 g

<h3>How to convert 1.9 gal to cm³</h3>

We can convert 1.9 gal to cm³ as follow:

1 gal = 3785.41 cm³

Therefore,

1.9 gal = (1.9 gal × 3785.41 cm³) / 1 gal

1.9 gal = 7192.279 cm³

<h3>How to determine the density </h3>

The density can be obtained as follow:

  • Mass = 18143.68 g
  • Volume = 7192.279 cm³
  • Density =?

Density = mass / volume

Density = 18143.68 / 7192.279

Density = 2.52 g/cm³

3. Hydrogen reacts with nitrogen to produce ammonia according to the equation:
lys-0071 [83]

Mass of ammonia produced : 121.38 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

3H₂(g) + N₂(g) ⇒ 2NH₃(g)

100g of N₂

Required

Ammonia produced

Solution

mol of N₂ :

\tt mol=\dfrac{mass}{MW}\\\\mol=\dfrac{100}{28}\\\\mol=3.57

From the equation, mol ratio of N₂ and NH₃ = 1 : 2, so mol NH₃ :

\tt \dfrac{2}{1}\times 3.57=7.14~moles

mass of NH₃(MW=17 g/mol) :

\tt mass=mol\times MW\\\\mass=7.14\times 17\\\\mass=121.38~g

Pentane is a small liquid hydrocarbon, between propane and gasoline in size at C5H12. The density of pentane is 0.626 g/mL and i
Goshia [24]

Answer : The fuel value and the fuel density of pentane is, 49.09 kJ/g and 3.073\times 10^4kJ/L respectively.

Explanation :

Fuel value : It is defined as the amount of energy released from the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels. The fuel value always in positive and in kilojoule per gram (kJ/g).

As we are given that:

\Delta H^o_{comb}=-3535kJ/mol

Fuel value = \frac{\Delta H^o_{comb}}{\text{Molar mass of pentane}}

Molar mass of pentane = 72 g/mol

Fuel value = \frac{3535kJ/mol}{72g/mol}

Fuel value = 49.09 kJ/g

Now we have to calculate the fuel density of pentane.

Fuel density = Fuel value × Density

Fuel density = (49.09 kJ/g) × (0.626g/mL)

Fuel density = 30.73 kJ/mL = 3.073\times 10^4kJ/L

Thus, the fuel density of pentane is 3.073\times 10^4kJ/L

Magnesium, on the left of Periodic Table, is more metallic than chlorine on the right of this Period. Why is this? - Because Mag
Marat540 [252]
Magnesium is more metallic than chlorine because elements with metallic character readily lose electrons. Magnesium has an ionic charge of +2, ie. it will lose 2 electrons if possible. Chlorine has an ionic charge of -1, means that it will gain 1 electron if possible.
