Lakesha gave three tenths of her cookies to Bailey and five tenths of her cookies to Helen. What fraction of her cookies did Lak

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

a . eight tenths of her cookies

Explanation:

Let the total number of Lakesha's cookies be represented by x.

So that;

She gave three tenths to Bailey = $\frac{3}{10}$ of x

= $\frac{3x}{10}$

She gave five tenths to Helen = $\frac{5}{10}$ of x

= $\frac{5x}{10}$

Fraction of Lakesha's cookies given away = $\frac{3x}{10}$ + $\frac{5x}{10}$

= $\frac{3x+ 5x}{10}$

= $\frac{8x}{10}$

Thus, the fraction of cookies given away by Lakesha is $\frac{8}{10}$ .

The diagram below shows an electromagnet. Using your scientific knowledge, state the device that is used to measure the potentia

weeeeeb [17]

Voltmeter is the device that is used to measure the potential difference across the battery.

<h2>What are the usage of voltmeter?</h2><h3 /><h3>Usage of Voltmeter</h3>

Voltmeter is an instrument that measures voltages of both direct and alternating electric current. On a scale of voltmeter usually graduated in volts, millivolts (0.001 volt), or kilovolts (1,000 volts).

Voltmeter is connected in parallel form. It has a high resistance so that it takes negligible current from the circuit so we can conclude that Voltmeter is the device that is used to measure the potential difference across the battery.

Daniel [21]

FeNi or NiFe is an acronym used to refer a family of iron alloys.

<h3>What is alloy?</h3>

An alloy is a mixture of chemical elements that contains at least one is a metal.

<h3>Alloy of iron</h3>

The alloy of iron-nickel can be abbreviated as FeNi, which implies iron-nickel.

where;

Fe stands for iron
Ni stands for Nickel

Thus, FeNi or NiFe is an acronym used to refer a family of iron alloys.

When butane burns completely, only water and carbon dioxide gas are produced. If 11.6 g of butane and 40.0 L of oxygen at 22.0o

Angelina_Jolie [31]

19.7 litre volume of carbon dioxide gas at 22.0o C and 102 kPa can be collected over water.

<h3>What is vapour pressure?</h3>

Vapour pressure is a measure of the tendency of a material to change into the gaseous or vapour state, and it increases with temperature.

Moles of Butane = mass in grams / molar mass = 11.6 / 58.12 = 0.2

Volume of $O_2$ (V) = 40 liter

Temperature (T) = 22°C = 22 + 273 = 295 K

Pressure (P) = 102 kPa = 102 / 101.325 = 1.007 atm

Moles of $O_2$ (n) can be calculated by ideal gas equation.

PV = nRT

n = 1.007 40 ÷ 0.0821 295 = 1.663

Balanced chemical reaction;

2 $C_4H_10$ + 13 $O_2$ ---> 8 $CO_2$ + 10 $H_2O$

From reaction;

13 moles $O_2$ require 2 moles $C_4H_10$

So, 1.663 moles $O_2$ will require = 2 x 1.663 ÷13 = 0.256 moles of $C_4H_10$

Thus $C_4H_10$ is a limiting reagent. So it will drive the yield of $CO_2$ .

Moles of $CO_2$ produced = (8/2) 0.2 = 0.8 moles

Pressure of $CO_2$ (P) = 102 - 2.24 = 99.76 kPa = 99.76 ÷ 101.325 = 0.985 atm

Applying the ideal gas equation for $CO_2$ ,

PV = nRT

0.985 V = 0.8 0.0821 x 295

V = 19.7 liter

The volume of $CO_2$ produced = 19.7 liter.
