a. Negative

Explanation:

We have to look at its oxidation (burning, explosion) of TNT:

4 C₇H₅N₃O₆ + 21 O₂ → 28 CO₂ + 10 H₂O + 6 N₂ + heat

So trinitrotoluene need more oxygen atoms that is have to be fully oxidized so the oxygen balance will be negative.

An empirical formula with which you calculate the oxygen balance percent (OB %) is:

OB % = (-1600 / molecular wight) × [2X + (Y/2) + M - Z)

were

X = number of carbon atoms

Y = number of hydrogen atoms

M = number of metal atoms

Z = number of oxygen atoms

For TNT:

OB % = (-1600 / 227.13) × [2×7 + (5/2) + 0 - 6)

OB % = -73.97 %

So the oxygen balance percent is negative.

A gas at STP occupies 22.4 L if the temperature is changed to 260 K and the pressures changed it to 0.50 ATM what will the new v

asambeis [7]

Answer:

The new volume will be 42, 7 L.

Explanation:

We use the gas formula, which results from the combination of the Boyle, Charles and Gay-Lussac laws. According to which at a constant mass, temperature, pressure and volume vary, keeping constant PV / T. The conditions STP are: 1 atm of pressure and 273 K of temperature.

P1xV1/T1 =P2xV2/T2

1 atmx 22,4 L/273K = 0,5atmx V2/260K

V2=((1 atmx 22,4 L/273K )x 260K)/0,5 atm= 42, 67L

A sample of gas contains 6.25 × 10-3 mol in a 500.0 mL flask at 265°C. What is the pressure of the gas in kilopascals? Which var

RideAnS [48]

55.9 kPa; Variables given = volume (V), moles (n), temperature (T)

We must calculate p from V, n, and T, so we use the Ideal Gas Law:

pV = nRT

Solve for p: p = nRT/V

R = 8.314 kPa.L.K^(-1).mol^(-1)

T = (265 + 273.15) K = 538.15 K

V = 500.0 mL = 0.5000 L

∴ p = [6.25 x 10^(-3) mol x 8.314 kPa·L·K^(-1)·mol^(-1) x 538.15 K]/(0.5000 L) = 55.9 kPa

Briefly describe how the pH of a colourless solution could be measured using a universal indicator

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Universal indicator can show us how strongly acidic or alkaline a solution is, not just that the solution is acidic or alkaline. This is measured using the pH scale , which runs from pH 0 to pH 14.

Margarita [4]

Answer:

Methanol and butanol are alcohols. Alcohols have the same_______________ as alkanes and the __________ identifies the compound as an alcohol.

Explanation:

Alcohols belong to a group of organic compounds which contain -OH group as the functional group.

So alcohols have the same carbon -hydrogen bonds as alkanes and the -OH functional group identifies the compound as an alcohol.
