Answer:

26.9 L is the volume of CO₂, we obtained

Explanation:

The reaction is: C₃H₈(g) + 5O₂(g) → 3CO₂ (g) + 4H₂O (g)

Let's determine the reactants moles:

27.5 g . 1mol / 44 g = 0.625 moles

We need density of O₂ to determine mass and then, the moles.

O₂ density = O₂ mass / O₂ volume

O₂ density . O₂ volume = O₂ mass

1.429 g/L . 45L = O₂ mass → 64.3 g

Moles of O₂ → 64.3 g . 1mol/32g = 2.009 moles

Let's find out the limiting reactant:

1 mol of propane needs 5 moles of oxygen to react

Then, 0.625 moles will react with (0.625 . 5)/1 = 3.125 moles of O₂

Oxygen is the limiting reactant, we need 3.125 moles but we only have 2.009 moles

Ratio is 5:3. 5 moles of O₂ produce 3 moles of CO₂

Therefore, 2.009 moles of O₂ must produce (2.009 .3) /5 = 1.21 moles of CO₂. Let's find out the volume, by Ideal Gases Law (STP are 1 atm and 273K, the standard conditions)

1 atm . V = 1.21 moles . 0.082 . 273K

V = (1.21 moles . 0.082 . 273K) / 1atm = 26.9 L

What is the total probability of finding a particle in a one-dimensional box in level n = 4 between x = 0 and x = L/8?

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

P = 1/8

Explanation:

The wave function of a particle in a one-dimensional box is given by:

$\psi = \sqrt \frac{2}{L} sin(\frac{n \pi x}{L})$

Hence, the probability of finding the particle in the one-dimensional box is:

$P = \int_{x_{1}}^{x_{2}} \psi^{2} dx$

$P = \int_{x_{1}}^{x_{2}} (\sqrt \frac{2}{L} sin(\frac{n \pi x}{L}))^{2} dx$

$P = \frac{2}{L} \int_{x_{1}}^{x_{2}} (sin^{2}(\frac{n \pi x}{L}) dx$

Evaluating the above integral from x₁ = 0 to x₂ = L/8 and solving it, we have:

$P = \frac{2}{L} [\frac{L}{16} (1 - 4\frac{sin(\frac{n \pi}{4})}{n \pi})]$

$P = \frac{1}{8} (1 - 4\frac{sin(\frac{n \pi}{4})}{n \pi})$

Solving for n=4:

$P = \frac{1}{8} (1 - 4\frac{sin(\frac{4 \pi}{4})}{4 \pi})$

$P = \frac{1}{8} (1 - \frac{sin (\pi)}{\pi})$

$P = \frac{1}{8}$

I hope it helps you!

The city is using sand trucks to place on the road during ice conditions which best explians the use of the sand

Stolb23 [73]

The sand provides a rough surface on top of the ice for the cars' tires to grip onto. It provides more friction. Salt melts the ice and often provides more friction (the disadvantage is that it eats concrete!).

Assume that 1.0 mol of C4H10 is completely burned in excess oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water. How many moles of CO2 would

In-s [12.5K]

You need to first write a chemical equation and balance it
C₄H₁₀ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O
2 C₄H₁₀ + 13 O₂ → 8 CO₂ + 10 H₂O
1.0 moles X moles
1.0 mol C₄H₁₀ ( $\frac{8 mol CO₂}{2 mol C₄H₁₀}$ ) = 4 moles of CO₂

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The concentration of $BC_2$ that should used originally is $C_Z_o = 0.4492M$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The necessary elementary step is

$2BC_2 ----->4C + B_2$

The time taken for sixth of 0.5 M of reactant to react $t = 9 hr$

The time available is $t_a = 3.5 hr$

The desired concentration to remain $C = 0.42M$

Let Z be the reactant , Y be the first product and X the second product

Generally the elementary rate law is mathematically as

$-r_Z = kC_Z^2 = - \frac{d C_Z}{dt}$

Where k is the rate constant , $C_Z$ is the concentration of Z

From the elementary rate law we see that the reaction is second order (This because the concentration of the reactant is raised to power 2 )

For second order reaction

$\frac{1}{C_Z} - \frac{1}{C_Z_o} = kt$

Where $C_Z_o$ is the initial concentration of Z which a value of $C_Z_o = 0.5M$

From the question we are told that it take 9 hours for the concentration of the reactant to become

$C_Z = C_Z_o - \frac{1}{6} C_Z_o$

$C_Z = 0.5 - \frac{0.5}{6}$

$= 0.4167 M$

So

$\frac{1}{0.4167} - \frac{1}{0.50} = 9 k$

$0.400 = 9 k$

=> $k = 0.044\ L/ mol \cdot hr^{-1}$

For $C_Z = 0.42M$

$\frac{1}{0.42} - \frac{1}{C_Z_o} = 3.5 * 0.044$

$2.38 - 0.154 = \frac{1}{C_Z_o}$

$2.226 = \frac{1}{C_Z_o}$

$C_Z_o = \frac{1}{2.226}$

$C_Z_o = 0.4492M$

mickey reacts magnesium with 1.0 M of hydrochloric acid. the reaction tales 2 minutes and 34 seconds to complete. what are 2 way

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

Explanation:

To slow down this reaction, we can use any of the methods listed below:

Increase the size of the magnesium by using solid lumps of the metal. This will take a much faster time to react than powered and granulated magnesium.
Reduce the concentration of the acid.
Let the reaction take place at a much lower temperature than that given.

These conditions will slow down a chemical reaction.
