4 0

Answer:

A calorie is a unit of energy. In nutrition, calories refer to the energy people get from the food and drink they consume, and the energy they use in physical activity. Calories are listed in the nutritional information on all food packaging. Many weight loss programs center around reducing the intake of calories.

A given mass of air has a volume of 6.00 L at 101 kPa. At constant temperature, the pressure is decreased to 25.0 kPa. Calculate
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

24.24 L

Explanation:

Boyle’s law, also called Mariotte’s law, a relation concerning the compression and expansion of a gas at constant temperature.

This empirical relation, formulated by the physicist Robert Boyle in 1662, states that the pressure (p) of a given quantity of gas varies inversely with its volume (v) at constant temperature; i.e., in equation form, pv = k, a constant.

Real gases obey Boyle’s law at sufficiently low pressures, although the product pv generally decreases slightly at higher pressures, where the gas begins to depart from ideal behaviour.

As, PV = k

P₁ V₁ = P₂ V₂

Given P₁ = 101 KPa

V₁ = 6 L

P₂ = 25 kPa

So, V₂ = P₁ V₁ /P₂ = 101 *6/25 = 24.24 L

Acetylene gas (c2h2) reacts with oxygen gas (o2) to produce carbon dioxide (co2) and water vapor (h2o). how many liters of c2h2
MissTica
According to the balanced equation of the reaction:

2C2H2 + 5O2 → 4CO2 + 2H2O

So we can mention all as liters,

A) as we see that 2 liters of C2H2 react with 5 liters of oxygen to produce 4 liters of CO4 and 2 liters of H2O 

So, when we have 75L of CO2

and when we have 2 L of C2H2 reacts and gives 4 L of CO2

 2C2H2 → 4CO2 

∴ The volume of C2H2 required is:

                    = 75L / 2

                    = 37.5 L

B) and, when we have 75 L of CO2


and 4CO2 → 2H2O 

∴ the volume of H2O required is: 
                               
                            = 75 L /2
                            = 37.5 L 


C) and from the balanced equation and by  the same way:

when 5 liters O2  reacts to give 4 liters of CO2

and we have 75 L of CO2:

5 O2 → 4 CO2 

   ??  ←  75 L

∴ the volume of O2 required is:

                              = 75 *(5/4)

                              = 93.75 L



D) about the using of the number of moles the answer is: 

no, there is no need to find the number of moles as we called everything in the balanced equation by liters and use it as a liter unit to get the volume, without the need to get the number of moles.

A sample of magnesium is burned in oxygen to form magnesium oxide. What mass of oxygen is consumed if 74.62 g magnesium oxide is
lana [24]
74.62 g of magnesium oxide is formed from 45.00 g magnesium so 74.62-45.00= 29.62 g of oxygen is consumed or in other words a new compound is formed in the burning of magnesium in oxygen with a heavier mass than the pure magnesium.
