If a sample containing 2.50 ml of nitroglycerin (density=1.592g/ml) is detonated, how many total moles of gas are produced?

1 answer:

3 0

<span>0.127 moles The formula for nitroglycerin is C3H5N3O9 so let's first calculate the molar mass of it. Carbon = 12.0107 Nitrogen = 14.0067 Hydrogen = 1.00794 Oxygen = 15.999 C3H5N3O9 = 3 * 12.0107 + 5 * 1.00794 + 3 * 14.0067 + 9 * 15.999 = 227.0829 Now calculate the number of moles of nitroglycerin you have by dividing the mass by the molar mass 2.50 ml * 1.592 g/ml / 227.0829 g/mol = 0.017527 mol The balanced formula for when nitroglycerin explodes is 4 C3H5N3O9 => 12 CO2 + 10 H2O + O2 + 6 N2 Since all of the products are gasses at the time of the explosion, there is a total of 29 moles of gas produced for every 4 moles of nitroglycerin Now multiply the number of moles of nitroglycerin by 29/4 0.017527 mol * 29/4 = 0.12707075 moles Round to 3 significant figures, giving 0.127 moles</span>

Kinetic Energy Problems = KE = 0.5m x 12

Brut [27]

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object is given by :

$K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

1. Mass, m = 5 kg

Speed, v = 2 m/s

$K_1=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 5\times (2)^2\\\\=10\ J$

2. Mass, m = 71 kg

Speed, v = 1 m/s

$K_2=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 71\times (1)^2\\\\=35.5\ J$

3. Mass, m = 71 kg

Speed, v = 5 m/s

$K_3=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 71\times (5)^2\\\\=887.5\ J$

4. Mass, m = 1816 kg

Speed, v = 25 m/s

$K_4=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1816\times (25)^2\\\\=567500\ J$

Which two reactants make Calcium carbonate?

Norma-Jean [14]

Impossible to form from given reactants

Explanation:

Only sodium has carbonate ion here .so only possible way to displace carbonate is to use potassium

When sodium carbonate and Potassium iodide react with each other double displacement reaction occurs

As potassium is powerful than sodium it displaces sodium to form potassium carbonate .

Then you have to use water and then you can use calcium suppliment .

What do you think is the most important element and why? Include information

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

Hydrogen

Explanation:

It is considered a special element due to its flexibility in giving up & taking in electrons, therefore making it good for organic & inorganic chemistry. Hydrogen has only one proton and one electron and is the only element which has no neutrons. it is considered as the simplest element in the universe and gives a valid reason for it to be the most abundant and common element in the universe.

Hoped this helped! If this doesn't fit your 80 word count, you could shorten it.
