Explain why a propane torch is lit inside a hot air balloon during preflight preparations. Which gas law applies?

Answer: The gas law which applies here is :Charle's Law

Explanation:

The main principle behind this is that, warm air rises in the cooler air.Which implies that hot air is less denser than the cooler air. Due to this property hot air rises up in the sky.

Density decrease with increase in volume due to this hot air balloon rises up in the air

Also the volume occupied by the gas increase with increase in temperature at constant pressure known as Charle's law.

So, during preflight the propane torch is lit to warm up the air present inside the balloon.

Propane torch is lit inside a hot air balloon during pre-flight preparation because the heat from the touch is needed to heat the cold air inside the balloon, so that the air will expand and become less dense and rise, thus providing a lift for the balloon. This is line with charle's law, which states that, the volume of a fixed mass of ideal gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature. This law implies that, as the temperature of the air inside the balloon increase, the volume of the balloon also increases.

If a sample containing 18.1 g of NH3 is reacted with 90.4 g of
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

3.64g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of NH₃  = 18.1g

Mass of Cu₂O  = 90.4g

Unknown:

Limiting reactant  = ?

Mass of N₂ formed  = ?

Solution:

The reaction equation is given as:

       Cu₂O + 2NH₃ → 6Cu + N₂ + 3H₂O

The limiting reactant is the one in short supply in the reaction. Let us find the number of moles of the given species;

  Number of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}  

Molar mass of Cu₂O = 2(63.6) + 16  = 143.2g/mol

Molar mass of NH₃  = 14 + 3(1) = 17g/mol

Number of moles of Cu₂O = \frac{18.1}{143.2}   = 0.13moles

Number of moles of NH₃   = \frac{90.4}{17}   = 5.32moles

  From this reaction;

       1 mole of  Cu₂O combines with 2 mole of NH₃

So   0.13moles of  Cu₂O will combine with 0.13 x 2 mole of NH₃

                                              = 0.26moles of NH₃

Therefore, Cu₂O is the limiting reactant. Ammonia is in excess;

Mass of N₂;

   Mass = number of moles x molar mass

    1 mole of Cu₂O  will produce 1 mole of N₂

    0.13 mole of Cu₂O  will produce 0.13 mole of N₂

    Mass  = 0.13 x (2 x 14) = 3.64g

What is the empirical formula for naphthalene
german

1.Start with the number of grams of each element, given in the problem.

2.Convert the mass of each element to moles using the molar mass from the periodic table.

3.Divide each mole value by the smallest number of moles calculated.

4.Round to the nearest whole number. This is the mole ratio of the elements and is.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!
pogonyaev

Answer:

m_{B}^{theoretical}=0.365gB

Y=87.1\%

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since the reaction (A->B) have an initial amount of pure 4-aminobenzoic acid, the first step to compute the theoretical yield is to solve the following stoichiometric setup:

m_{B}^{theoretical}=0.303gA*\frac{1molA}{137.14gA}*\frac{1molB}{1molA}*\frac{165.19 gB}{1molB}\\\\   m_{B}^{theoretical}=0.365gB

Whereas A stands for 4-aminobenzoic acid and B for the benzocaine. Moreover, we compute the percent yield by dividing the actual yield (0.318 g) by the theoretical one (0.365 g):

Y=\frac{0.318g}{0.365g} *100\%\\\\Y=87.1\%

Best regards!

Which of the following changes will always be true for a spontaneous reaction? (3 points)
Alika [10]
Answer is: <span>- delta G.
</span>The change in Gibbs free energy (ΔG), at constant temperature and pressure, is: <span>ΔG=ΔH−TΔS.
</span>ΔH<span> is the change in enthalpy.
</span>ΔS is change in entropy.
T is temperature of the system.
When ΔG is negative, a reaction (<span>occurs without the addition of external energy)</span><span> will be spontaneous (</span>exergonic).
