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.

Answer:

3. 116.5 V

4. 119.6 V

Explanation:

3. Determination of the voltage.

Resistance (R) = 25 Ω

Current (I) = 4.66 A

Voltage (V) =?

V = IR

V = 4.66 × 25

V = 116.5 V

Thus, the voltage is 116.5 V

4. Determination of the voltage.

Current (I) = 9.80 A

Resistance (R) = 12.2 Ω

Voltage (V) =?

V = IR

V = 9.80 × 12.2

V = 119.6 V

Thus, the voltage is 119.6 V

Alexandra decides to climb Mt. Krumpett, which is 5000 m high. She determines that this will require a total of 1350 kcal of ene

Kisachek [45]

Alexandra requires a total energy of 1350 kcal for the climb
by eating proteins, fats and carbohydrates the amount of calories per gram contributed varies.
Proteins and carbohydrates - 4 calories per gram
fats - 9 calories and gram
This means that by eating the same mass of fats and proteins/ carbohydrats the calories gained from fats is higher.
each bar contains;
<span>50 g of carbohydrates - 4 calories/g x 50 g = 200 calories
10 g of fat - 9 calories/g x 10 g = 90 calories
40 g of protein - 4 calories/g x 40 g = 160 calories
total amount of calories from 1 bar = 200 + 90 + 160 = 450 calories
energy required = 1 350 000 calories
bars required = 1 350 000/450 = 3000
alexandra should consume 3000 bars </span>

6. The fusion of 4 H-1 nuclei to produce two positrons and one other nuclei.

KIM [24]

Explanation:

Normally, fusion involves two heavy hydrogen nuclides but since we have 4 light hydrogen nuclides, two of which underwent positron emission, thus changing two protons into neutrons plus 2 positrons and 2 neutrinos. The resulting nucleus from this fusion reaction is an He-4 nucleus.

If the solubility of a gas in water at 25°C is 22.25 mg/L at 2.5 atm of pressure, what is its solubility (in mg/L) at 25°C

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

8.9 mg/l

Explanation: Temp doesnt matter so throw that out automatically then your equation is;

S1/P1=S2/P2

We are looking for S2 and that equation is;

S2=S1*P2/P1 and that is S2=22.25*1/2.5

A little bit of simple math and you get your answer: 8.9 mg/l

Which of the following polyatomic ions will form an ionic compound with two sodium ions? CO32− HCO31− NO21− NO31−

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

CO32−

Explanation:

We have to consider the valencies of the polyatomic ions involved. Recall that it is only a polyatomic ion with a valency of -2 that can form a compound which requires two sodium ions.

When we look closely at the options, we will realize that among all the options, only CO32− has a valency of -2, hence it must be the required answer. In order to be double sure, we put down the ionic reaction equation as follows;

2Na^+(aq) + CO3^2-(aq) ---------> Na2CO3(aq)
