The main reason is the high level of CO₂ that is contained in the breath as well as the effect of the blowing of taking away the air around the candle that is higher in O₂ than the air coming out with the breath

anygoal [31]

Answer: The mass percent of nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas is 91.41 % and 8.59 % respectively.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation given by ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

where,

P = Pressure of the gaseous mixture = 1.00 atm

V = Volume of the gaseous mixture = 24.62 L

n = number of moles of the gaseous mixture = ?

R = Gas constant = $0.0821\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = Temperature of the gaseous mixture = 300 K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1.00atm\times 24.62L=n_{mix}\times 0.0821\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 300K\\\\n_{mix}=\frac{1.00\times 24.62}{0.0821\times 300}=0.9996mol$

We are given:

Total mass of the mixture = 13.22 grams

Let the mass of nitrogen gas be 'x' grams and that of hydrogen gas be '(13.22 - x)' grams

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

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

For nitrogen gas:

Molar mass of nitrogen gas = 28 g/mol

$\text{Moles of nitrogen gas}=\frac{x}{28}mol$

For hydrogen gas:

Molar mass of hydrogen gas = 2 g/mol

$\text{Moles of hydrogen gas}=\frac{(13.22-x)}{2}mol$

Equating the moles of the individual gases to the moles of mixture:

$0.9996=\frac{x}{28}+\frac{(13.22-x)}{2}\\\\x=12.084g$

To calculate the mass percentage of substance in mixture we use the equation:

$\text{Mass percent of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Mass of mixture}}\times 100$

Mass of the mixture = 13.22 g

For nitrogen gas:

Mass of nitrogen gas = x = 12.084 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Mass percent of nitrogen gas}=\frac{12.084g}{13.22g}\times 100=91.41\%$

For hydrogen gas:

Mass of hydrogen gas = (13.22 - x) = (13.22 - 12.084) g = 1.136 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Mass percent of hydrogen gas}=\frac{1.136g}{13.22g}\times 100=8.59\%$

Hence, the mass percent of nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas is 91.41 % and 8.59 % respectively.

Answer:

A. observing

Explanation:

There are various steps that are involved in a scientific investigation. Observation is the first step of the scientific investigation. In this step, a close examination is laid on the investigation. Observation is collected with the senses and the information is gathered.

In the given excerpt, Clive missed the observation part of the scientific investigation. All the other three steps were followed by Clive. He was not able to observe the situation and so was not able to provide the answers to the questions asked by his classmates.

What term is used when heat is transferred from one piece of matter to another until they are of equal temperature?

IgorC [24]

thermal contact

When heat flows from one object or substance to another it is in contact with, the objects or substances are said to be in thermal contact. The state where objects in thermal contact with each other reach the same temperature, no heat flows between them.

The dry ice absorbs heat from the air in the flask and become CO2 gas directly. So the heat flow from air to dry ice. And the CO2 gas increase the amount of the air. Though the temperature decreases, the balloon still inflates.

Why are solutions considered mixtures?

Alex_Xolod [135]

Solute and solvent form a solution, which means two different kinds of molecules/atoms/compounds are mixed together, therefore, it is a mixture.
