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.

Natalija [7]

Answer:

625=275

240=x

625x=275×240

625x=66000

x=66000/625

x=105 .6

Explanation:

If 625°C gives us 275KPa then 240°C will give us the the sum of 275×240 divided by 625

Identify the limiting reactant in the reaction of nitrogen and hydrogen to form NH3 if 5.23 g of N2 and 5.52 g of H2 are combine
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

1) The limiting reactant is N₂ because it is present with the lower no. of moles than H₂.

2) The amount (in grams) of excess reactant H₂ = 4.39 g.

Explanation:

  • Firstly, we should write the balanced equation of the reaction:

<em>N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃.</em>

<em>1) To determine the limiting reactant of the reaction:</em>

  • From the stichiometry of the balanced equation, 1.0 mole of N₂ reacts with 3.0 moles of H₂ to produce 2.0 moles of NH₃.
  • This means that <em>N₂ reacts with H₂ with a ratio of (1:3).</em>
  • We need to calculate the no. of moles (n) of N₂ (5.23 g) and H₂ (5.52 g) using the relation:<em> n = mass / molar mass.</em>

The no. of moles of N₂ in (5.23 g) = mass / molar mass = (5.23 g) / (28.00 g/mol) = 0.1868 mol.

The no. of moles of H₂ (5.52 g) = mass / molar mass = (5.52 g) / (2.015 g/mol) = 2.74 mol.

  • From the stichiometry, N₂ reacts with H₂ with a ratio of (1:3).

The ratio of the reactants of N₂ (5.23 g, 0.1868 mol) to H₂ (5.52 g, 2.74 mol) is (1:14.67).

∴ The limiting reactant is N₂ because it is present with the lower no. of moles than H₂.

0.1868 mol of N₂ react completely with 0.5604 mol of H₂ and the remaining of H₂ is in excess.

<em>2) To determine the amount (in grams) of excess reactant of the reaction:</em>

  • As showed in the part 1, The limiting reactant is N₂ because it is present with the lower no. of moles than H₂.
  • Also, 0.1868 mol of N₂ react completely with 0.5604 mol of H₂ and the remaining of H₂ is in excess.
  • The no. of moles are in excess of H₂ = 2.74 mol - 0.5604 mol (reacted with N₂) = 2.1796 mol.
  • ∴ The amount (in grams) of excess reactant H₂ = n (excess moles) x molar mass = (2.1796 mol)((2.015 g/mol) = 4.39 g.

Which method would you use to separate silt from water
jonny [76]
The answer is "filtration"

Filtration is used to seprate a solid from a liquid in which it is suspended. Filtration is also used to separate a substance from a mixture because one is insoluble in the solvent and the other is solube. The separation is due to particle size.

I hope this helps.
