Aside from biological functions like breathing, the best use of air is for energy. In order to burn anything, it must react with oxygen. You can credit the energy produced by fossil fuels as much to oxygen in the air as you could to the fuel itself!

You might argue that air is a resource in pneumatic pressure systems as well, using the air as a medium for storing energy as pressure.

Air is also “mined” for trace elements through air separation. For the most part, it is nitrogen that is extracted, because it accounts for 78% of gases in the atmosphere. Trace elements like noble gases, such as argon, are also extracted in this way.

Un mol de amoniaco Tiene una masa molar de 17 g y ocupa un volumen de 22.4 l qué volumen ocupa el 50 g amoniaco en condiciones n
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

V  = 65.81 L

Explanation:

En este caso, debemos usar la expresión para los gases ideales, la cual es la siguiente:

PV = nRT  (1)

Donde:

P: Presion (atm)

V: Volumen (L)

n: moles

R: constante de gases (0.082 L atm / mol K)

T: Temperatura (K)

De ahí, despejando el volumen tenemos:

V = nRT / P   (2)

Sin embargo como estamos hablando de condiciones normales de temperatura y presión, significa que estamos trabajando a 0° C (o 273 K) y 1 atm de presión. Lo que debemos hacer primero, es calcular los moles que hay en 50 g de amoníaco, usando su masa molar de 17 g/mol:

n = 50 / 17 = 2.94 moles

Con estos moles, reemplazamos en la expresión (2) y calculamos el volumen:

V = 2.94 * 0.082 * 273 / 1

<h2>V = 65.81 L</h2>

What is the volume in (a) liters and (b) cubic yards of a room that is 10. meters wide by 15 meters long and 8.0 ft high?
deff fn [24]

Answer:

V = 364500 L, 476.748 yard³

Explanation:

Given that,

The dimensions of a room are 10 meters wide by 15 meters long and 8.0 ft high.

l = 10 m, b = 15 m, h = 8 ft = 2.43 m

The volume of the room is :

V = lbh

So,

V = 10×15×2.43

V = 364.5 m³

As 1 m³ = 1000 L

364.5 m³ = 364500 L

Also, 1 m³ = 1.30795 yard³

364.5 m³ = 476.748 yard³

Hence, this is the required solution.

In 1939, the use of DDT (a powerful synthetic chemical) as an insecticide was discovered. The United States adopted its widespre
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Main advantages of DDT are the insecticide property and the knoledge about its chemical synthesis.

Explanation:

At that time in 1939 it was discovered that DDT have insecticide properties. It is a useful property because it allows inhibition of insects populations in large areas. Killing insects will reduce the diseases transmitted by them as  typhus and malaria. More over you prevent the destruction of the agricultural crops by the harmful insects.

However the synthesis of the molecule was known way back in 1874. From that time it was plenty of time in which chemistry knowledge evolved so the synthesis at kilograms scale was implemented. High quantities of DDT molecule become available for the market so that in 1945 was available as agricultural insecticide.

It was discovered that DDT have bad effects for human health and also over time some insects developed resistance and their were not affected anymore by the molecule.

You may find the chemical structure of DDT in the attached figure.

How is the number of electrons in an element determined?
elixir [45]

The number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom can be determined from a set of simple rules. The number of protons in the nucleus of the atom is equal to the atomic number (Z). The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons.
