Which gas is used by divers and why

Chemistry
1 answer:
BARSIC [14]3 years ago
5 0
What they breathe is compressed air. Yes normal air that every one breathes. This is compressed to 200bar and can last for approx. half an hour depending on the diver. What is exhaled is is also the same, namely carbon dioxide. 
<span>Sometimes divers mix gases to different ratios to give themselves longer dive times. This is called 'Ni-trox', which means ( Nitrogen/ Oxygen mixture). The gases exhaled are slightly different. </span>

The salt formed by the reaction of the weak acid hydrocyanic acid, HCN, with the strong base potassium hydroxide is
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

2.28 × 10^-3 mol/L

Explanation:

The equation for the equilibrium is

CN^- + H2O ⇌ HCN + OH^-

                    Ka = 4.9 × 10^-10

               KaKb = Kw

4.9 × 10^-10 Kb = 1.00 × 10^-14

                   Kb = (1.00 × 10^-14)/(4.9 × 10^-10) = 2.05 × 10^-5

Now, we can set up an ICE table

                     CN^- + H2O ⇌ HCN + OH^-

I/(mol/L)      0.255                     0         0

C/(mol/L)       -x                        +x        +x

E/(mol/L)  0.255 - x                   x         x

Ka = x^2/(0.255 - x) = 2.05 × 10^-5

Check for negligibility

0.255/(2.05 × 10^-5) = 12 000 > 400. ∴ x ≪ 0.255

    x^2 = 0.255(2.05 × 10^-5) = 5.20 × 10^-6

        x = sqrt(5.20 × 10^-6)    = 2.28 × 10^-3

[OH^-] = x mol/L                     = 2.28 × 10^-3 mol/L

How do you find the percent yield of a chemical reaction?
kotegsom [21]
To express the efficiency of a reaction, you can calculate the percent yield using this formula: %yield = (actual yield/theoretical yield) x 100. A percent yield of 90% means the reaction was 90% efficient, and 10% of the materials were wasted (they failed to react, or their products were not

How many grams of NaOH are produced from 1.20 x 10^2 of Na2O
oksian1 [2.3K]
Write an balance the equation

Na2O + H2O -> 2 NaOH

Calculate the molecular mass of Na2O and NaOH from the atomic mass from the periodic table.

Na = 23
O=16
H=1

Na2O = 23 * 2 + 16 = 62
NaOH = 23+16+1= 40

For the stoichiometry of the reaction one mole of Na2O = 62g produce two mol of NaOH = 2* 40= 80 g

120 g Na2O x 80g NaOH / 62g Na2O=

154.8 g NaOH
