Ethylene oxide is sporicidal. Option A is correct option.

<h3>What is ethylene oxide? </h3>

Ethylene oxide is defined as the cyclic ether or the simplest epoxide compound. It contains a ring structure consist of two carbon atoms and one oxygen atom. It is a colourless gas having fruity odour. Ethylene oxide is highly flammable and reactive and hence exposure which may result in lung injury or in respiratory irritation.

<h3 /><h3>Why ethylene oxide is sporicidal? </h3>

Ethylene oxide is a potent sterilant which can kill all life forms and having high sporicidal activity due to its property of high penetrating effects. It is also convenient to use and also effective at room temperature. Therefore, it is mostly used in hospitals to sterilize surgical equipment, instruments, and in disposable medical devices which are sensitive to heat and moisture.

Thus we concluded that ethylene oxide is sporicidal due to its property of high penetrating effects. Therefore, option A is correct option.

Are scientific theories all proven facts?
SSSSS [86.1K]
No! That’s why they’re called theories. Most of them have a lot of facts to back it up however the theories themselves are either proven or just hypothetical.

Answer:

                     1. 10.66 moles of Al

                     2.  2.5 moles of Al₂O₃

                     3. 143.87 g of SO₂

Explanation:

                    The balance chemical equation is as follow,

                                      4 Al + 3 O₂ → 2 Al₂O₃

<h3>1.</h3>

According to balance chemical equation,

                       3 moles of O₂ required  =  4 moles of Al

So,

                     8 moles of O₂ will require  =  X moles of Al

Solving for X,

                      X =  8 mol × 4 mol / 3 mol

                      X =  10.66 moles of Al

<h3>2.</h3>

According to balance chemical equation,

                       4 moles of Al produced  =  2 moles of Al₂O₃

So,

                     5 moles of Al will produce  =  X moles of Al₂O₃

Solving for X,

                      X =  5 mol × 2 mol / 4 mol

                      X =  2.5 moles of Al₂O₃

<h3>3.</h3>

The balance chemical equation for the oxidation of carbon disulfide is as follow;

                                CS₂ + 3 O₂ → CO₂ + 2 SO₂

Step 1: <u>Calculate Moles of CS₂ as;</u>

                  Moles  =  Mass / M.Mass

                  Moles  =  85.5 g / 76.14 g/mol

                  Moles  =  1.12 moles of CS₂

Step 2: <u>Find out moles of SO₂ as;</u>

According to balance chemical equation,

                       1 mole of CS₂ produced  =  2 moles of SO₂

So,

                     1.12 moles of CS₂ will produce  =  X moles of SO₂

Solving for X,

                      X =  1.12 mol × 2 mol / 1 mol

                      X =  2.24 moles of SO₂

Step 3: <u>Calculate Mass of SO₂ as;</u>

                  Mass  =  Moles × M.Mass

                  Mass  =  2.24 mol × 64.06 g/mol

                  Mass  =  143.87 g of SO₂
