Why does a candle relight if a match is held above the wick just after the flame is blown out?

Chemistry
1 answer:
shutvik [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer with Explanation:

A candle relights when a match is held above the wick because its trail of smoke still contains some of the wax. When candles are burned, the heat of the flame turns the the wax (which is originally solid) into liquid (commonly near the wick) and then evaporates as gas. The vaporized wax actually protect the wick and this is the reason why it is not burned. So, when you put off a candle, the vaporized wax is still present near the wick. This, remember, holds heat and light energy. Thus, this explains why the candle can be relighted once you hold a match above the wick. It then allows the match to ignite.

Thus, this explains the answer.

Calculate the volume of each of the following gases at STP
kherson [118]
For Ar :

1 mol ------------ 22.4 L ( at STP )
7.6 mol ---------- x L 

x = 7.6 * 22.4

x = 170.24 L
-----------------------------------------------------------------
For C2H3:

1 mol ------------ 22.4 ( at STP)
0.44 mol --------- y L

y = 0.44 * 22.4

y = 9.856 L

hope this helps !.

What mass of compound must be weighed out to have a 0.0223 mol sample of H2C2O4 (M=90.04 g/mol)?
rodikova [14]
Mass of  H2C2O4 :

mm = 90.04 g/mol

number of moles : 0.0223 moles

m = n * mm

m = 0.0223 * 90.04

m = 2.007 g 

hope this helps!.

How many grams are in 5.2 moles of Li2SO4
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

572 g

Explanation:

Molar mass is the mass of 1 mol of an element or compound

molar mass of Li₂SO₄ is the sum of the products of the molar masses of the elements by the number of atoms in the compound

molar masses of each element making up lithium sulphate

Li - 7 g/mol

S - 32 g/mol

O - 16 g/mol

molar mass of Li₂SO₄ - (7 g/mol x 2) + ( 32 g/mol x 1) + ( 16 g/mol x 4 )

molar mass = 110 g/mol

mass of 1 mol of Li₂SO₄ is 110 g

therefore mass of 5.2 mol of Li₂SO₄ is - 110 g/mol x 5.2 mol = 572 g

mass is 572 g

If 185 mg of acetaminophen were obtained from a tablet containing 350 mg of acetamino- phen, what would be the weight percentage
Alex73 [517]

Percentage recovery gives us an idea of the amount of pure substance recovered after the chemical reaction. Percentage recovery can be more than 100 % or less than 100 %. Usually, in any experiment performed the weight percentage recovery will be less than 100. Percent recovery values greater than 100 show that the recovered compound is contaminated.

Amount of acetaminophen initially taken = 350 mg

Amount of acetaminophen obtained after recovery =185 mg

Weight percentage recovery =\frac{mass recovered}{mass originally taken}*100

                                                = \frac{185 mg}{350 mg}*100

                                               = 52.9%
