The flame in a torch used to cut metal is produced by burning acetylene (C2H2) in pure oxygen. Assuming the combustion of 1 mole

of acetylene releases 1251 kJ of heat, what mass of acetylene is needed to cut through a piece of steel if the process requires 95.5 × 104 kJ of heat?

Answer:

We need 19.88 kg of acetylene

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

The combustion of 1 mole of acetylene releases 1251 kJ of heat

Step 2: Calculate moles acetylene needed

If we burn 1 mol, there is 1251 kJ released

If we burn x moles there is 95.5 *10^4 kJ

x = 95.5 *10^4 / 1251  

x = 763.4

If we burn 763.4 moles there is 95.5 *10^4 kJ released

Step 3: Calculate mass acetylene

Mass acetylene = moles * molar mass

Mass acetylene = 763.4 moles * 26.04 g/mol

Mass acetylene = 19878.9 grams = 19.88 kg

We need 19.88 kg of acetylene

Answer:

19.8 kg of C₂H₂ is needed

Explanation:

We solve this by a rule of three:

If 1251 kJ of heat are relased in the combustion of 1 mol of acetylene

95.5×10⁴ kJ of heat may be released by the combustion of

(95.5×10⁴ kJ . 1) /1251kJ = 763.4 moles of C₂H₂

Let's convert the moles to mass → 763.4 mol . 26 g/1 mol = 19848 g

If we convert the mass from g to kg →  19848 g . 1kg / 1000g = 19.8 kg

Law of action-reaction
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Formally stated, Newton's third law is: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object.

When a sample of rust was mixed with acid, the rust changed into two simpler substances: W and Z. The substances W and Z could n
julia-pushkina [17]

here can be a number of chemical processes by which a compounds can be broken down into simpler substances. The most common and wide-spread of such processes is Catabolism. Along with anabolism, catabolism make up the metabolism process for living organisms. In catabolism, complex chemical molecules (such as proteins, polysaccharides, etc.) are broken down into simpler molecules (such as amino acids, monosaccharides, etc.). This is often accompanied by release of energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) molecules and intermediate metabolites (which can be used by the organism in the anabolic processes). The energy thus generated is used for operation and maintenance of cells (and consequently, the body).  

Other processes that break down chemical substances into simpler substances, include depolymerization, decomposition, etc.

Hope this helps.

Ion Concentration 1. Which solution has the greatest [SO42-]: a) 0.075 M H2SO4 b) 0.15 M Na2SO4 c) 0.080 M Al2(SO4)3?
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

c) 0.080 M Al₂(SO₄)₃

Explanation:

Ion [SO₄²⁻] concentration of each solution is:

a) 0.075 M H₂SO₄: <em>[SO₄²⁻] = 0.075M</em>. Because 1 mole of H₂SO₄ contains 1 mole of SO₄²⁻

b) 0.15 M Na₂SO₄: <em>[SO₄²⁻] = 0.15M</em>. Also, 1 mole of Na₂SO₄ contains 1 mole of SO₄²⁻

c) 0.080 M Al₂(SO₄)₃ [SO₄²⁻] = 0.080Mₓ3 =<em> 0.240M</em>. Because 1 mole of Al₂(SO₄)₃ contains 3 moles of SO₄²⁻.

<h3>Thus, the soluion that has the greatest [SO₄²⁻] is 0.080 M Al₂(SO₄)₃</h3>

What mass of water must be added to 5g of nacl to make 5% mass persentage of the solution?
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:-

95 grams

Explanation:-

Let the mass of water to be added be M

So total mass = 5 + M

So 5% of this solution has 5g of NaCl by mass.

∴ (M+5) x (5/100) = 5

M+5 = 5 x 100/5

M+5=100

M= 100-5

95

So amount of water to be added is 95 gram

By which mechanism would a steroid molecule diffuse into the cell?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer: Directly through the phospholipid membrane

Explanation:

The cell membrane consist of a phospholipid bilayers structure. In the interior of the membrane, the phospholipid tail are hydrophobic, which makes the cell membrane to be selectively permeable, it is permeable to non polar molecules and impermeable to polar molecules.

Because Steroids are fat soluble, non polar compounds, they can diffuse directly through the hydrophobic, non polar core of the phospholipid bilayer without the use of carrier proteins.
