Substance in which two or more elements are combined in a fixed proportion

Firdavs [7]

Answer: compound

Explanation:

Element is a pure substance which is composed of atoms of similar elements.It can not be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions.Example: Copper $Cu$

Compound is a pure substance which is made from atoms of different elements combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.It can be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions. Example: water $H_2O$

Mixture is a substance which has two or more components which do not combine chemically and do not have any fixed ratio in which they are present. Example: Air

Compare the rates of effusion for carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide gases

Airida [17]

According to Grahams law the rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of it's molecular weight. The rate of diffusion is the measure of rate at which two gases mix. From this law we can say that for the two gases carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, the rate of effusion of carbon monoxide is greater than that of carbon dioxide, this is because carbon monoxide is lighter (28 g) compared to carbon dioxide (44 g).

Why do airbags fill evenly with gases?

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

The signal from the deceleration sensor ignites the gas-generator mixture by an electrical impulse, creating the high-temperature condition necessary for NaN3 to decompose. The nitrogen gas that is generated then fills the airbag.

basically, the nitrogen fills the bag

If 125.0g of nitrogen is reacted with 125.0g of hydrogen, what is the theoretical yield of the reaction? What is the excess reac

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Hydrogen is the excess reactant

Nitrogen is the limiting reactant

151.6g is theoretical yield

Explanation:

The reaction of N₂ with H₂ to produce NH₃ is:

N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃

To find theoretical yield we need to determine limiting reactant with the moles of each gas as follows:

Nitrogen -Molar mass: 28g/mol-

125.0g * (1mol / 28g) = 4.46 moles

Hydrogen -Molar mass: 2g/mol-

125.0g * (1mol / 2g) = 62.5 moles of hydrogen

For a complete reaction of 4.46 moles of N2 there are needed:

4.46 moles N2 * (3moles H2 / 1mol N2) = 13.38 moles of hydrogen

As there are 62.5 moles of hydrogen:

<h3>Hydrogen is the excess reactant</h3><h3>Nitrogen is the limiting reactant</h3><h3 />

With nitrogen, the limiting reactant, we determine theoretical moles (Assuming 100% of the reaction occurs) and theoretical yield (In mass):

4.46 moles N2 * (2moles NH3 / 1mol N2) = 8.92 moles of ammonia

As molar mass of ammonia is 17g/mol:

8.92 moles of ammonia * (17g/mol) =

<h3>151.6g is theoretical yield</h3>

What compound is formed when 2,2-dimethyloxirane (2-methyl-1,2-epoxypropane) is treated with ethanol containing sulfuric acid

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

2-ethoxy-2-methylpropan-1-ol

Explanation:

On this reaction, we have an "<u>epoxide"</u> (2-methyl-1,2-epoxypropane). Additionally, we have <u>acid medium</u> (due to the sulfuric acid $H_2SO_4$ ). The acid medium will produce the <u>hydronium ion</u> ( $H^+$ ). This ion would be attacked by the oxygen of the epoxide. Then a <u>carbocation</u> would be produced, in this case, the most stable carbocation is the <u>tertiary one</u>. Then an <u>ethanol</u> molecule acts as a nucleophile and will attack the carbocation. Finally, a <u>deprotonation </u>step takes place to produce <u>2-ethoxy-2-methylpropan-1-ol</u>.

See figure 1

I hope it helps!
