Air currents move objects in the air. Explain how a convection current might affect the flight of a hot air balloon

1 answer:

6 0

Hot/ warm air is less dense than cold/cool air. Therefore warm/ hot air rises and cool/cold air falls in the atmosphere to create convection currents. The hot air balloon also uses this concept to fly. The air in the balloon is heated by the inbuilt flamer and when the air rises in temperatures (in comparison to ambient air temperatures) it becomes less dense and begins to rise. This raises the balloon into the atmosphere.

7. Diethyl ether burns in air according to the following equation. C4H10O(l) + 6O2 (g) → 4CO2 (g) + 5H2O(l) If 7.15 L of CO2 is

iren [92.7K]

From the stoichiometry of the combustion reaction, we can see that 7.4 L of oxygen is consumed.

<h3>What is combustion?</h3>

Combustion is a reaction in which a substance is burnt in oxygen. The equation of the reaction is; C4H10O(l) + 6O2 (g) → 4CO2 (g) + 5H2O(l)

We can obtain the number of moles of CO2 from;

PV = nRT

n = 1.02 atm * 7.15 L/0.082 atm LK-1mol-1 * (125 + 273) K

n = 7.29 /32.6

n = 0.22 moles

If 6 moles of oxygen produces 4 moles of CO2

x moles of oxygen produces 0.22 moles of CO2

x = 0.33 moles

1 mole of oxygen occupies 22.4 L

0.33 moles of oxygen occupies 0.33 moles * 22.4 L/ 1 mole

= 7.4 L of oxygen

A bottle containing 415 g of cleaning solution is used to clean hospital equipment. If the cleaning solution has a specific grav

neonofarm [45]

Answer: 483 mL of the cleaning solution are used to clean hospital equipment

Explanation:

The question requires us to calculate the volume, in mL, of solution is used to clean hospital equipment, given that 415g of this solution are used and the specific gravity of the solution is 0.860.

Measurements > Density

Specific gravity is defined as the ratio between the density of a given substance to the density of a reference material, such as water:

$Specific\text{ gravity = }\frac{density\text{ of substance}}{density\text{ of reference substance}}$

The density of a substance is defined as the ratio between the mass and the volume of this substance:

$density=\frac{mass}{volume}$

Considering the reference substance as water and its density as 1.00 g/mL, we can determine the density of the substance which specific gravity is 0.860:

$0.860=\frac{density\text{ of substance}}{1.00g/mL}\rightarrow density\text{ of substance = 0.860g/mL}$

Thus, taking water as the reference substance, we can say that the density of the cleaning solution is 0.860 g/mL.

Now that we know the density of the cleaning solution (0.860 g/mL) and the mass of solution that is used to clean hospital equipment (415g), we can calculate the volume of solution that is used to clean the equipment:

$\begin{gathered} density=\frac{mass}{volume}\rightarrow volume=\frac{mass}{density} \\ \\ volume=\frac{415g}{0.860g/mL}=483mL \end{gathered}$

Therefore, 483 mL of the cleaning solution are used to clean hospital equipment.
