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.

A white crystalline salt conducts electricity when it is melted and when it dissolves in water.
sergeinik [125]

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Ionic salts are defined as the salts which tend to contain ionic bonds as there occurs transfer of electrons between its combining atoms.

So, when an ionic salt melts or it is dissolved in water then it will dissociate into its respective ions and as electricity is the flow of electrons or ions. Hence, this salt is then able to conduct electricity.

As covalent compounds are insoluble in water so, they do no dissociate into ions. Hence, they do not conduct electricity.

Similarly, metallic and network solids do not dissociate into ions either when melted or dissolved in water. Therefore, they also do not conduct electricity.

Thus, we can conclude that when a white crystalline salt conducts electricity when it is melted and when it dissolves in water then this bond is of ionic type.

Why do substances with weak intermolecular forces form solids at low melting points?
Advocard [28]
To make any substance solid, molecules must come very close to each other. Substances with weak intermolecular forces have weak bonding. Hence to make their molecules come close to each other, we must provide low temperature.
