Answer:

Because in the event of a rear collision, the cervical spine, in the neck region, can project quickly forward and then backwards, causing serious problems if the headrest is not adjusted.

Explanation:

Head support is not widely remembered when talking about driving safety, but its use can prevent serious injuries in the event of an accident. The correct use of the headrest is as important as the seat belt and its usefulness is even greater in cases of rear impact. In rear collisions, it is common to report the whip effect on passengers of the vehicle that was hit. It gets its name because the impact of one vehicle on the rear of another projects the occupants of the car ahead ahead. With the crash, the seat belt holds people's bodies - but not the neck and head. With this, the cervical spine, in the neck region, can quickly project forward and, soon after, backward. Sort of like a rubber band or whip - hence the name.

One of the ways to prevent cervical spine injuries is to adjust the seat headrest correctly. By correctly adjusting the device, in the event of a rear collision, the backrest prevents excessive movement of the neck and head.

After substantial heating, 6.25 g of iron produced 18.00 g of a compound with chlorine. The empirical formula is:
babunello [35]

Answer:

Option A. FeCl3

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass of iron (Fe) = 6.25g

Mass of the compound formed = 18g

From the question, we were told that the compound formed contains chlorine. Therefore the mass of chlorine is obtained as follow

Mass of chlorine (Cl) = Mass of compound formed – Mass of iron.

Mass of chlorine (Cl) = 18 – 6.25

Mass of chlorine (Cl) = 11.75g

The compound therefore contains:

Iron (Fe) = 6.25g

Chlorine (Cl) = 11.75g

The empirical formula for the compound can be obtained by doing the following:

Step 1:

Divide by their molar mass

Fe = 6.25/56 = 0.112

Cl = 11.75/35.5 = 0.331

Step 2:

Divide by the smallest

Fe = 0.112/0.112 = 1

Cl = 0.331/0.112 = 3

The empirical formula for the compound is FeCl3

A mixture of gases has 0.3000 mol of CO2, 0.2706 mol of SO2 and 0.3500 mol of water vapor. The total pressure of the mixture is
notka56 [123]

Answer:

Partial pressure SO₂ → 0.440 atm

Explanation:

We apply the mole fraction concept to solve this:

Moles of gas / Total moles = Partial pressure of the gas / Total pressure

Total moles = 0.3 moles of CO₂ + 0.2706 moles of SO₂ + 0.35 moles H₂O

Total moles = 0.9206 moles

Mole fraction SO₂ = 0.2706 moles / 0.9206 moles → 0.29

Now, we can know the partial pressure:

0.29 = Partial pressure SO₂ / Total pressure

0.29 = Partial pressure SO₂ / 1.5 atm

0.29 . 1.5atm = Partial pressure SO₂ → 0.440 atm

At standard ambient temperature and pressure (SATP), a gas has density of 1.5328g/L. What is the molar mass of the gas?
ahrayia [7]

The standard ambient temperature and pressure are

Temperature =298 K

Pressure = 1atm

The density of gas is 1.5328 g/L

density = mass of gas per unit volume

the ideal gas equation is

PV = nRT

P = pressure = 1 atm

V = volume

n = moles

R= gas constant = 0.0821 Latm/mol K

T = 298 K

moles = mass / molar mass

so we can write

n/V = density / molar mass

Putting values

Pressure=\frac{nRT}{V}=\frac{massXRT}{VXmolarmass}

Pressure=\frac{densityXRT}{molarmass}

molarmass=\frac{densityXRT}{Pressure}=\frac{1.5328X0.0821X298}{1}=37.50

Thus molar mass of gas is 37.50g/mol
