Carbon monoxide (CO) detectors sound an alarm when peak levels of carbon monoxide reach 100 parts per million (ppm). This level

roughly corresponds to a composition of air that contains 400,000 /(/mu/)g carbon monoxide per cubic meter of air (400,000 /(/mu/)g/m3). Assuming the dimensions of a room are 18 ft x 12 ft x 8 ft, estimate the mass (in grams) of carbon monoxide in the room that would register 100 ppm on a carbon monoxide detector. (1 meter = 3.28 feet)

Answer:

19.61kg

Explanation:

The first thing to do is divide the amount of feet into 3.28:

18ft*12ft*8ft=5.49m*3.66m*2.44m

With this information, we calculate the volume:

V=5.49m*3.66m*2.44m=49.03m^{3}

As we have the concentration and the volume, we can calculate the mass of CO:

m=400,000 \mu g/m^{3}*49.03m^{3}=19611158.4 \mu g

As this is a very big number, we can express it in kg by dividing in 10^6:

19611158.4 \mu g/10^{6}=19.61 kg

Methane reacts with oxygen in the following combustion reaction.
Natali5045456 [20]

The methane molecule undergoes oxidation and the carbon is oxidized to carbon dioxide and hydrogen to water.

In this reaction there is cleavage of four C-H bonds and two O=O bonds

there will be formation of two C=O bonds and four O-H bonds.

Overall due to more bond cleavage energy there will be evolution of energy. thus combustion is an exothermic reaction.

Is this correct please help?
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

\boxed {\tt Number \ and \ unit}

Explanation:

The two requirements for a measurement are a <u>number</u> and a <u>unit.</u>

For example, here is a measurement:

38.6 cm

The <u>number</u> is 38.6 and the <u>unit</u> is cm, or centimeters.

Therefore, both <em>number </em>and <em>unit</em> are correct.

What does the energy hill represent on an energy diagram?
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

When a chemical reaction proceeds the reactants are converted into products. The energy hill represents the potential energy of the reaction.

There are two conditions: If the reaction is endothermic than the energy of the products is greater than the energy of the reactants and  ΔH  is positive. This energy gain is shown in the form of a peak.  In an exothermic reaction, the energy of the products is lower than the reactants and  ΔH  is negative.

So the suitable option is D which states that the reaction is endothermic and the potential energy gained by the products is higher when a reaction proceeds.
