To determine the volume of oxygen needed for the reaction, we need to know the chemical formula of the fuel in order to know the chemical reaction. Methylpropan-1-ol has a formula of C4H10O. The chemical reaction would be:

C4H10O + 6O2 = 4CO2 + 5H2O

We calculate volume as follows:

1 mol C4H10O ( 6 mol O2 / 1 mol C4H10O) ( 22.4 L O2 / 1 mol O2) = 134.4 L O2 needed or 134.4 dm^3

Therefore, the closest value would be B, 144 dm^3.

The molecular formula of methylpropan-1-ol is C4H10O, so the complete combustion equation is: C4H10O + 6O2 --> 4CO2 + 5H2O. This mean to completely combust 1.0mol of methylpropan-1-ol, 6 mol of O2 is required. Molar mass of O2 is 32 g/mol, so 32g/mol x 6mol = 192 g of O2 is required. At room temperature and pressure, the density of O2 is 1.3315 g/L (this can be obtained by density of gas = P/RT). So the volume of O2 = mass/density = 192g/1.3315(g/L) = 144 L = 144 dm3. The answer is B.

Why is NX3 Unstable ? ...?

exis [7]

It is because of the small size and high electronegativity of nitrogen.
<span>Nitrogen has very small size as compared to the halogens, which have much larger sizes. Due to this, they can not remain bonded to the nitrogen atom and hence are highly unstable. </span>

What type of cryptography uses two keys instead of just one, generating both a private and a public key?

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

It is known as asymmetric key cryptography it is also called public key cryptography.

Explanation:

Asymmetric key cryptography method makes use of two keys.One is used for encryption and the second one for decryption. The public key serves to encrypt plain text or verify a digital signature, while the private key is used to decrypt or decipher the encrypted text or to create a digital signature.

As pressure decreases so does boiling point. One reason astronauts wear space suits in space is because of the decreased pressur

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

First, we need to be aware that our blood is also a form of liquid.
So, when the astronaut is placed in within the environment that has decreased pressure, the temperature inside the astronaut's body will definitely increase but it won't cause the boiling effect like in water (it won't even break the arteries). But it could endanger the astronaut's life because it makes the blood unable to circulate properly due to unstable blood pressure

Find the natural abundance of Si-30.

nataly862011 [7]

<span> First you need to know how many isotopes there are of silicon, and its average atomic units (look at periodic table). Then make up a system of equations to solve for it. Theres 3 stable silicon isotopes (28, 29, 30) so you will need to have 3 equations. You must be given the percent abundance of at least one of the isotopes to solve because here I can only see 2 equations (numbered down below) set x = percent abundance of si-28 y = percent abundance of si-29 z = percent abundance of si-30 since all of silicon atoms account for 100% of all silicon: x + y + z = 100% = 1 therefore: 1) x = 1 - y - z You also have 2) 28x + 29y + 30z = average atomic mass you can substitute x so that equation becomes: 28 (1 - y - z) + 29y + 30z = average atomic mass See how you have 2 variables here? You cant go on until you know the value of one isotope already or you have given a clue which you can derive the third equation</span>
