Explanation:

When we touch the screen of a television or computer we get a slight shock on a dry day. It is due to the accumulation of the electric charges on the screen.

We get slight shock due to the electrostatic force between the hair on the skin and the screen of the television.  When we touch the screen then the charges discharge through our body.

Answer : The mass of NaN_3 required is 71.175 grams.

Explanation :

To calculate the moles of nitrogen gas, we use the equation given by ideal gas :

PV = nRT

where,

P = Pressure of nitrogen gas = 763 torr

V = Volume of the nitrogen gas = 40.0 L

n = number of moles of gas = ?

R = Gas constant = 62.364\text{ L.torr }mol^{-1}K^{-1}

T = Temperature of helium gas = 25^oC=273+25=298K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

763torr\times 40.0L=n\times 62.364\text{ L.torr }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 298K\\\\n=1.642mol

Now we have to calculate the moles of NaN_3.

The balanced chemical reaction is:

2NaN_3(s)\rightarrow 2Na(s)+3N_2(g)

From the balanced chemical reaction, we conclude that

As, 3 moles of N_2 produced from 2 moles NaN_3

So, 1.642 moles of N_2 produced from \frac{2}{3}\times 1.642=1.095 moles NaN_3

Now we have to calculate the mass of NaN_3.

Molar mass of NaN_3 = 65 g/mol

\text{Mass of }NaN_3=\text{Moles of }NaN_3\times \text{Molar mass of }NaN_3

\text{Mass of }NaN_3=1.095mole\times 65g/mole=71.175g

Therefore, the mass of NaN_3 required is 71.175 grams.

The grains found in igneous rock:
kondor19780726 [428]
Option c. are large

Igneous rocks are crystalline  solids which are formed after the magma cools. The sizes vary greatly depending on how quickly the magma cooled. The slower the cooling, the larger the crystals in the final rock. They cooled at depth in the crust  where they were insulated by layers of rock and sediment.
