Here is the chemical equation for gun powder, in it’s simple form:

<span>2 KNO3 + S + 3 C → K2S + N2 + 3 CO2.</span>

This is the same simplified formula, only balanced:

<span>10 KNO3 + 3 S + 8 C → 2 K2CO3 + 3 K2SO4 + 6 CO2 + 5 N2.</span>

What mass of octane must be burned in order to liberate 5270 kj of heat? δhcomb = -5471 kj/mol?
katrin2010 [14]
As,
                           5471 kJ heat is given by  =  1 mole of Octane
Then,
                    5310 kJ heat will be given by  = X moles of Octane

Solving for X,
                                  X  =  (5310 kJ × 1 mol) ÷ 5471 kJ

                                  X  =  0.970 moles of Ocatne

So, 0.970 moles of Octane will liberate 5310 kJ energy. Now changing moles to mass,
As,
                                  Moles  =  mass / M.mass
Or,
                                  Mass  =  Moles × M.mass
Putting values,
                                  Mass  =  0.970 mol × 114.23 g/mol

                                  Mass  =  110.83 g of Octane

A combustion analysis of 5.214 g of a compound yields 5.34 g co 2 ​ , 1.09 g h 2 ​ o, and 1.70 g n 2 ​ . if the molar mass of th
nekit [7.7K]
Answer is: C₃H₃N₃O₃.
Chemical reaction: CₓHₓNₓOₓ + O₂ → aCO₂ + x/2H₂ + x/2N₂.
m(CₐHₓNₓ) = 5,214 g.
m(CO₂) = 5,34 g.
m(H₂) = 1,09 g.
m(N₂) = 1,70 g.
n(CO₂) = n(C) =  5,34 g ÷ 44 g/mol = 0,121 mol.
n(H₂O) = 1,09 g ÷18 g/mol = 0,06 mol.
n(H) = 2 · 0,0605 mol = 0,121 mol.
n(N₂) = 1,7 g ÷ 28 g/mol = 0,0607 mol.
n(N) = 0,0607 mol · 2 = 0,121 mol.
n(C) : n(H) : n(N) = 0,121 mol : 0,121 mol : 0,121 mol /: 0,121
n(C) : n(H) : n(N) = 1 : 1 : 1.
M(CHN) = 27 g/mol.
m(O₂) = 8,13 g - 5,214 g = 2,914 g.
n(O₂) = 2,914 g ÷ 32 g/mol = 0,09 mol.
n(CₓHₓNₓOₓ) = 5,214 g ÷ 129,1 g/mol = 0,0404 mol.
n(CₓHₓNₓOₓ) : n(CO₂) = 1 : 3.

A slice of Swiss cheese contains 47 mg of sodium. (a) What is this mass in grams? .047 (b) What is this mass in ounces? (16 oz =
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

(a) 0.047 g (b) 0.0016 oz (c) 0.0001 lb

Explanation:

The given mass of the sodium in the slice = 47 mg

(a) Mass has to be calculated in grams

The conversion of mg to g is shown below as:

1 mg = 10⁻³ g

So,

<u>Mass of sodium = 47 × 10⁻³ g = 0.047 g</u>

(b) Mass has to be calculated in ounces

The conversion of ounces to g is shown below as:

453.6 g = 16 oz

Or,

1 g = 16 / 453.6 oz

So,

<u>Mass of sodium = (0.047 × 16) / 453.6 oz = 0.0016 oz</u>

(c) Mass has to be calculated in pounds

The conversion of pounds to g is shown below as:

1 lb = 453.6 g

Or,

1 g = 1/ 453.6 lb

So,

<u>Mass of sodium = (0.047 × 1) / 453.6 oz = 0.0001 lb</u>

How many moles of chlorine are in 6.67x10^40 chlorine molecules?
sweet-ann [11.9K]
To solve for the number of moles, we simply have to use the Avogadros number which states that there are 6.022 x 10^23 molecules per mole. Therefore:
 
number of moles = 6.67 X 10^40 chlorine molecules / (6.022 x 10^23 molecules / mole)
number of moles = 1.108 x 10^17 moles

How many moles of solute are in 53.1 mL of 12.5M HCI?
Deffense [45]
Molarity = moles of solute/volume of solution in liters.

From this relation, we can figure out the number of moles of solute by multiplying the molarity of the solution by the volume in liters.

We have 53.1 mL, or 0.0531 L, of a 12.5 M, or 12.5 mol/L, solution. Multiplying 12.5 mol/L by 0.0531 L, we obtain 0.664 moles. So, in this volume of solution, there are 0.664 moles of solute (HCl).
