The density of gas particles in a section of Earth’s atmosphere decreases. Which of the following is the most likely explanation

for this event?

<span>This is due to the fact that the air pressure in that certain section of Earth’s atmosphere decreased. As density of gas particles decreases as air pressure decreases. Therefore, density of gas particles and air pressure have a direct relationship. An increase in air pressure would then effect to an increase in gas particles. </span>

You have 16.0 g of some compound and you perform an experiment to remove all of the oxygen, 11.2 g of iron is left. What is the
Makovka662 [10]

The empirical formula of this compound is Fe_2O_3

<h3>Empirical formula </h3>

To calculate the empirical formula of a compound, the value of moles of each element is needed.

As we have the information of the mass value, we will use the molar mass expression, which corresponds to:

MM_O = 16g/mol\\MM_Fe = 55.8g/mol

                                              MM = \frac{m}{mol}

  • O

                                                   16 = \frac{4.8}{x}

                                                   x = 0.3mol

  • Fe

                                                    55.8=\frac{11.2}{x}\\x = 0.2

As the value of the empirical formula must be an integer, simply multiply the two values ​​by a common factor:

                                                O = 0.3 \times 10 = 3\\Fe = 0.2 \times 10 = 2

                                                       Fe_2O_3

So, the empirical formula of this compound is Fe_2O_3.

Phosphorous pentoxide, P2O5(s), is produced from the reaction between pure oxygen and pure phosphorous (P, solid). What is the v
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

4190.22 L = 4.19 m³.

Explanation:

  • For the balanced reaction:

<em>2P₂ + 5O₂ ⇄ 2P₂O₅. </em>

It is clear that 2 mol of P₂ react with <em>5 mol of O₂ </em>to produce <em>2 mol of P₂O₅.</em>

  • Firstly, we need to calculate the no. of moles of 6.92 kilograms of P₂O₅ produced through the reaction:

no. of moles of P₂O₅ = mass/molar mass = (6920 g)/(283.88 g/mol) = 24.38 mol.

  • Now, we can find the no. of moles of O₂ is needed to produce the proposed amount of P₂O₅:

<u><em>Using cross multiplication:</em></u>

5 mol of O₂ is needed to produce → 2 mol of P₂O₅, from stichiometry.

??? mol of O₂ is needed to produce → 24.38 mol of P₂O₅.

∴ The no. of moles of O₂ needed = (5 mol)(24.38 mol)/(2 mol) = 60.95 mol.

  • Finally, we can get the volume of oxygen using the general law of ideal gas:<em> PV = nRT.</em>

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm (P = 606.1 mm Hg/760 = 0.8 atm).

V is the volume of the gas in L (V = ??? L).

n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol (n = 60.95 mol).

R is the general gas constant (R = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K),

T is the temperature of the gas in K (396.90°C + 273 = 669.9 K).

∴ V of oxygen needed = nRT/P = (60.95 mol)(0.0821 L.atm/mol.K)(669.9 K)/(0.8 atm) = 4190.22 L/1000 = 4.19 m³.

The following unbalanced equation illustrates the overall reaction by which the body utilizes glucose to produce energy: C6H12O6
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

the conversion factor is f= 6  mol of glucose/ mol of CO2

Explanation:

First we need to balance the equation:

C6H12O6(s) + O2(g) → CO2(g) + H2O(l) (unbalanced)

C6H12O6(s) + 6O2(g) → 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l) (balanced)

the conversion factor that allows to calculate the number of moles of CO2 based on moles of glucose is:

f = stoichiometric coefficient of CO2 in balanced reaction / stoichiometric coefficient of glucose in balanced reaction

f = 6 moles of CO2 / 1 mol of glucose = 6  mol of glucose/ mol of CO2

f = 6 mol of CO2/ mol of glucose

for example, for 2 moles of glucose the number of moles of CO2 produced are

n CO2 = f * n gluc = 6 moles of CO2/mol of glucose * 2 moles of glucose= 12 moles of CO2

rjkz [21]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is:

Calcium Carbide (CaC₂) is an unusual substance that contains a carbon anion (C₂²⁻). The reaction with water involves several steps that occur in rapid succession. CaC2 is a salt (notice that its name is similar to sodium chloride). When a salt dissolves in water, ions leave the crystal lattice and enter the aqueous (aq) solution. Write the relevant balanced chemical equation for the dissolution of CaC₂, in water.

Answer:

CaC₂(s) + 2H₂O(l) → Ca(OH)₂(aq) + C₂H₂(aq)

Explanation:

When a salt dissolves in water, it dissociates in its ions. In the Calcium Carbide, the cation is Ca⁺² and the anion is C₂²⁻, so the reaction is:

CaC₂(s) + 2H₂O(l) → Ca(OH)₂(aq) + C₂H₂(aq)

The base Ca(OH)₂ is soluble, so it will dissociate at Ca⁺ and OH⁻, but the C₂H₂ is stable and doesn't dissociate in the solution.
