Answer:

The comparison is between Fuel canister (diethylene glycol) or Tea candle (paraffin)

The answer is tea candle( paraffin)

Explanation:

A fuel’s efficiency is based on its reaction with air(oxygen). It is said to be efficient when it burns well when exposed to air(oxygen).

Tea candle( paraffin) burns more efficiently in the presence of oxygen when compared to fuel canister( diethylene glycol) due to the hydrogen bonds in the molecules of fuel canister( diethylene glycol) making it more stable and having a lesser affinity to air (oxygen) than those of tea candle (paraffin).

Determine the volume of water to be added to the nitric acid solution at a concentration of 8.61 mol / L to prepare 500 mL of th

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

398 mL

Explanation:

Using the equation for molarity,

C₁V₁ = C₂V₂ where C₁ = concentration before adding water = 8.61 mol/L and V₁ = volume before adding water, C₂ = concentration after adding water = 1.75 mol/L and V₂ = volume after adding water = 500 mL = 0.5 L

V₂ = V₁ + V' where V' = volume of water added.

So, From C₁V₁ = C₂V₂

V₁ = C₂V₂/C₁

= 1.75 mol/L × 0.5 L ÷ 8.61 mol/L

= 0.875 mol/8.61 mol/L

= 0.102 L

So, V₂ = V₁ + V'

0.5 L = 0.102 L + V'

V' = 0.5 L - 0.102 L

= 0.398 L

= 398 mL

So, we need to add 398 mL of water to the nitric solution.
