Answer:

Hydrogen

Explanation:

Balloons are filled with light gases in order to make them float. Helium and Hydrogen are both light gases.

Helium is quite a lot lighter than air: it's about an eighth of the density of air. Hydrogen is about a sixteenth the density of air, so it'll float in air and will in fact float upwards.

Hydrogen however is twice as heavy as helium, but that doesn't mean the amount of lift off of the balloon is twice as much. The amount of lift is determined by the difference in density with respect to air.

Hydrogen is calculated to be less dense than helium, that explains why hydrogen filled balloons would go up higher.

Helium filled balloons are used because of the safety implications. The problem is that hydrogen is explosive may have some health and safety implications! Helium is much more safe to use.

How many grams of oxygen are required to react with 13.0 grams of octane (C8H18) in the combustion of octane in gasoline?
egoroff_w [7]

Grams of oxygen are required to react with 13.0 grams of octane (C8H18) in the combustion of octane in gasoline is 45.5g

Octane is a hydrocarbon which burns in gasoline in presence of oxygen according to the given balanced chemical equation,

2C₈H₁₈ + 25O₂------> 16CO₂ + 18H₂0

Molar mass of octane = 114.23g/mol

Molar mass of Oxygen = 32g/mol

According to the stiochiometry of the balanced equation the mole ratio of Octane and Oxygen is 2:25

2 mole of octane needs 25 mole of oxygen

1 mole of octane needs 12.5 moleof oxygen

114.23g of octane needs 400g of oxygen

13g   of octane  needs 45.5g of oxygen

Mass of oxygen needed =45.5g

Hence, the Mass of oxygen needed is 45.5g for the combustion of octane in gasoline.

Answer:

21091mg of aspirin the person need to consume

Explanation:

To solve this question we must find the mass of the person in kg. Knowing the lethal dose for aspirin is 400mg/kg of person, we can find the amount of aspirin that the person need to consume to get a lethal dose:

<em>Mass person:</em>

116lb * (1kg / 2.2lb) = 52.7kg

<em>Lethal dose:</em>

52.7kg * (400mg / kg) =

<h3>21091mg of aspirin the person need to consume</h3>

If an ideal gas has a pressure of 5.49 atm, a temperature of 88.78 °c, and has a volume of 22.03 l, how many moles of gas are in
kirza4 [7]
N = (PV)/RT
(T = 88.78 + 273 = 361.78K)
(R = 22.4/273 = 0.082)
= (5.49 x 22.03)/(0.082 x 361.78) = ?
Put it into the calculator. It's hard to do that on a mobile phone.
