Reaction must be FAST and volume change must be BIG; in order to inflate the airbag quickly :)

The development of airbags began with the idea for a system that would restrain automobile drivers and passengers in an accident, whether or not they were wearing their seat belts. The road from that idea to the airbags we have today has been long, and it has involved many turnabouts in the vision for what airbags would be expected to do. Today, airbags are mandatory in new cars and are designed to act as a supplemental safety device in addition to a seat belt. Airbags have been commonly available since the late 1980's; however, they were first invented (and a version was patented) in 1953. The automobile industry started in the late 1950's to research airbags and soon discovered that there were many more difficulties in the development of an airbag than anyone had expected. Crash tests showed that for an airbag to be useful as a protective device, the bag must deploy and inflate within 40 milliseconds. The system must also be able to detect the difference between a severe crash and a minor fender-bender. These technological difficulties helped lead to the 30-year span between the first patent and the common availability of airbags.

4.33 g of 3-hexanol were obtained from 5.84 g of hex-3-ene. Determine the percentage yield of 3-hexanol. a Determine the moles o

Vilka [71]

Answer: The amount of hex-3-ene used is 0.0711 moles and the percent yield of 3-hexanol is 59.56 %

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

Given mass of hex-3-ene = 5.84 g

Molar mass of hex-3-ene = 82.14 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of hex-3-ene}=\frac{5.84g}{82.14/mol}=0.0711mol$

The chemical equation for the conversion of hex-3-ene to 3-hexanol follows:

$\text{hex-3-ene}+H_2O\xrightarrow []{10\% H_2SO_4} \text{3-hexanol}$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of hex-3-ene produces 1 mole of 3-hexanol

So, 0.0711 moles of hex-3-ene will produce = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.0711=0.0711mol$ of 3-hexanol

Now, calculating the mass of 3-hexanol from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of 3-hexanol = 102.2 g/mol

Moles of 3-hexanol = 0.0711 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.0711mol=\frac{\text{Mass of 3-hexanol}}{102.2g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of 3-hexanol}=(0.0711mol\times 102.2g/mol)=7.27g$

To calculate the percentage yield of 3-hexanol, we use the equation:

$\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

Experimental yield of 3-hexanol = 4.33 g

Theoretical yield of 3-hexanol = 7.27 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\%\text{ yield of 3-hexanol}=\frac{4.33g}{7.27g}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield of 3-hexanol}=59.56\%$

Hence, the amount of hex-3-ene used is 0.0711 moles and the percent yield of 3-hexanol is 59.56 %

Kay [80]

Answer: The percentage abundance of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ and $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotopes are 77.5% and 22.5% respectively.

Explanation:

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

$\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i$ .....(1)

Let the fractional abundance of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope be 'x'. So, fractional abundance of $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope will be '1 - x'

For $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope:

Mass of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = 35 amu

Fractional abundance of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = x

For $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope:

Mass of $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = 37 amu

Fractional abundance of $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = 1 - x

Average atomic mass of chlorine = 35.45 amu

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$35.45=[(35\times x)+(37\times (1-x))]\\\\x=0.775$

Percentage abundance of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = $0.775\times 100=77.5\%$

Percentage abundance of $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = $(1-0.775)=0.225\times 100=22.5\%$

Hence, the percentage abundance of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ and $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotopes are 77.5% and 22.5% respectively.

How many formula units (particles of AgNO3) are in 5.50 grams of AgNO3?

lianna [129]

Answer:

No of molcules(N)= 1.98×10^22

Explanation:

m=5.5, Mm= 167, NA= 6.02×10^23

Moles(n)= m/M= N/NA

5.5/167 = N/6.02×10^23
