It will cover up all oxygen from the fire. And sand has no natural flammability because it is simply a crushed up mineral, so it can not make the fire any bigger.

Because the fire has no oxygen to expand. it's really suffocating it.

A gas at 750 mmhg and with a volume of 2. 00 l is allowed to change its volume at constant temperature until the pressure is 600
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

The new volume of a gas at 750 mmhg and with a volume of 2. 00 l when allowed to change its volume at constant temperature until the pressure is 600 mmhg is 2.5 Liters.

Explanation:

Boyle's law states that the pressure of a given amount of gas is inversely proportional to it's volume at constant temperature. It is written as;

P ∝ V

P V = K

P1 V1 = P2 V2

Parameters :

P1 = Initial pressure of the gas = 750 mmHg

V1 = Initial pressure of the gas = 2. 00 Liters

P2 = Final pressure of the gas = 600 mmHg

V2 = Fimal volume of the gas = ? Liters

Calculations :

V2 = P1 V1 ÷ P2

V2= 750 × 2. 00 ÷ 600

V2 = 1500 ÷ 600

V2 = 2.5 Liters.

Therefore, the new volume of the gas is 2. 5 Liters.

Why would the volume of one object calculated using “Measurement and Calculation” differ from the volume of the same object calc
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

Measuring the Volume of Solids

Rectangular prism - Multiply the measurement of the length times the width, then times the height.

Cube - Since all sides are the same measurement, it would be the measurement of any side, or edge, cubed, or a³

How many half-lives would something have gone through if you had 75% daughter product and 25% parent?
levacccp [35]

Answer:

Two Half-lives

Explanation:

Let number of Parent nuclei Initially present be X,

Then, finally \frac{X}{4} Parent nuclei Will remain with \frac{3X}{4} daughter nuclei.

In one half- life , parent nuclei becomes half of initial.

So, starting with X parent nuclei,

After one half-life, it will degrade to \frac{X}{2} .

After another half life , Parent nuclei will become half of \frac{X}{2}

Which is equal to \frac{X}{4}.

So, Parent nuclei have to go through Two half-lives.

The reaction 2a → a2​​​​​ was experimentally determined to be second order with a rate constant, k, equal to 0.0265 m–1min–1. if
katovenus [111]

The integrated rate law for a second-order reaction is given by:

\frac{1}{[A]t} =   \frac{1}{[A]0} + kt

where, [A]t= the concentration of A at time t,

[A]0= the concentration of A at time t=0

<span>k =</span> the rate constant for the reaction


<u>Given</u>: [A]0= 4 M, k = 0.0265 m–1min–1 and t = 180.0 min


Hence, \frac{1}{[A]t} = \frac{1}{4} + (0.0265 X 180)

<span>                                        = 4.858</span>

<span><span><span>Therefore, [A]</span>t</span>= 0.2058 M.</span>

The density of no2 in a 4.50 l tank at 760.0 torr and 25.0 °c is ________ g/l.
kap26 [50]
From  ideal  gas  equation   that   is   PV=nRT
n(number of  moles)=PV/RT
P=760 torr
V=4.50L
R(gas  constant =62.363667torr/l/mol
T=273 +273=298k
n  is   therefore   (760torr x4.50L) /62.36367 torr/L/mol  x298k  =0.184moles
the  molar  mass  of  NO2 is  46  therefore  density=  0.184  x  46=8.464g/l
