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.

Manganese, Mn, forms two ions, one with a 2+ charge and one with a 3+ charge. What is the formula for manganese (II) sulfide?
maria [59]
It would be MnSO4

The (II) lets you know it’s the form with a 2+ charge and Sulfate has a 2- charge

These will cancel out making it plain MnSO4

If it was manganese (iii) sulfide the answer would be Mn2(SO4)3

1) If the pressure on 2.6 liters of a gas at 860 Torr is increased to 1000 Torr,
LenKa [72]

2.24 liters is the volume of the gas if pressure is increased to 1000 Torr.

Explanation:

Data given:

Initial volume of the gas V1 = 2.6 liters

Initial pressure of the gas P1 = 860 Torr 1.13 atm

final pressure on the gas P2 = 1000 Torr 1.315 atm

final volume of the gas after pressure change V2 =?

From the data given above, the law used is :

Boyles Law equation:

P1V1 = P2V2

V2 = P1V1/P2

   = 1.13 X 2.6/ 1.31

  = 2.24 Liters

If the pressure is increased to 1000 Torr or 1.315 atm the volume changes to 2.24 liters. Initially the volume was 2.6 litres and the pressure was 860 torr.

An iron nail rusts when exposed to oxygen. According to the following reaction, how many moles of iron(III) oxide will be formed
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

0.453 moles

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is:

2Fe(s) + 3O2(g)  ==>  2Fe2O3

From the equation,  mass of O2 involved = 16 x 2 x 3 = 96g

                                 mass of Fe2O3 involved = [(2x26) + 3 x 16] x 2

                                                                            = 100g

                Therefore 96g of O2 produced 100g of Fe2O3

                                  32.2g of O2 Will produce   100x32.2/96

                                                   = 33.54g of Fe2O3

Converting it to mole using   number of mole = mass/molar mass

but molar mass of Fe2O3 = 26 + (16 X 3)

                                           = 74g/mole

Therefore number of mole of 33.54g of Fe2O3 = 33.54/74

                                                                           = 0.453 moles

avanturin [10]

Answer:

a) heat it from 23.0 to 78.3

q = (50.0 g) (55.3 °C) (2.46 J/g·°C) =  

b) boil it at 78.3

(39.3 kJ/mol) (50.0 g / 46.0684 g/mol) =  

c) sum up the answers from the two calculations above. Be sure to change the J from the first calc into kJ
