The flame produced by the burner of a gas (propane) grill is a pale blue color when enough air mixes with the propane (C3H8) to

burn it completely. For every gram of propane that flows through the burner, what volume of air is needed to burn it completely? Assume that the temperature of the burner is 195.0 Celcius, the pressure is 1.1 atmosphere, and the mole fraction of O2 in air is 0.21.

Answer:

At the burner temp. and pressure, 18.85 litres of air is needed to completely combust each gram of propane

Explanation:

The combustion stoichiometry is as follows:

      C₃H₈ + 5O₂  = 4 H₂O + 3CO₂      The molecular weights (g/mol) are:

MW  44    5x32      4x18    3x44

So each gram of propane is 1/44 = 0.02272 mol propane

and will need 5 x 0.02272 = 0.1136 mol oxygen

At 0.21 mol fraction oxygen in air, 0.1136 / 0.21 = 0.54 mol air is needed to burn the propane.

At the low pressure in the burner we can use the Ideal Gas Law

PV=nRT, or V = nRT/P

P = 1.1 x 101325 Pa = 111457 Pa

T = 195°C + 273 = 468 K

R = 8.314

and we calculated n = number of moles air = 0.54 mol

So V m³ = 0.54 x 8.314 x 468 / 111457 = 0.0188 m³ = 18.85 litres air.

Write the chemical formula for sodium hypobromite.
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

             NaOBr  (or)  Na⁺ ⁻OBr

Explanation:

The Oxo-Acids of Bromine are as follow,

                           Hypobromous Acid  =  HOBr

                           Bromous Acid  =  HOBrO

                           Bromic Acid  =  HBrO₃

                           Perbromic Acid  =  HBrO₄

When these acids are converted to their conjugate bases their names are as follow,

                           Hypobromite  =  ⁻OBr

                           Bromite  =  ⁻OBrO

                           Bromate  =  ⁻OBrO₂

                           Perbromate  =  ⁻OBrO₃

According to rules, the positive part of ionic compound is named first and the negative part is named second. So, Sodium Hypobromite has a chemical formula of Na⁺ ⁻OBr or NaOBr.

Select the keyword or phrase that will best complete each sentence. A tetrahedral carbon is____hybridized while a linear carbon
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Explanation:

A tetrahedral carbon is__sp³__hybridized while a linear carbon is__sp___hybridized. Two different compounds that have the same molecular formula are known as___isomers____. Pi (π) bonds are generally_weaker (because they overlapped side ways)___than sigma (sigma) bonds. Hybridization is the combination of two or more__atomic ____orbitals to form the same number of__hybrid (combined  s and p)__orbitals, each having the same shape and energy. A_pi (π)____bond is formed by side-by-side overlap of two p orbitals. The_electronegativity___is a measure of an atom's attraction for electrons in a bond and indicates how much a particular atom ''wants" electrons. Two Lewis structures that have the same atomic placement and a structure but a different arrangement of pi electrons are called_Resonance structure____. All single bonds are___sigma__bonds.
