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

PLS HELP What is the mass of hydrogen atoms that is measured at 54 u?
tankabanditka [31]

The mass of hydrogen atoms that is measured at 54 u given the relationship is 89.64×10¯²⁴ g

<h3>Conversion scale </h3>

1 u = 1.66×10¯²⁴ g

<h3>How to determine the mass of hydrogen atoms </h3>
  • Mass of Hydrogen (u) = 54 u
  • Mass of Hydrogen (g) =?

1 u = 1.66×10¯²⁴ g

Therefore

54 u = 54 × 1.66×10¯²⁴ g

54 u = 89.64×10¯²⁴ g

Thus, the mass of the hydrogen atoms measured at 54 u is 89.64×10¯²⁴ g

A group of students are measuring how the acceleration of a mass will change when it is acted
Virty [35]

The scatter plot that shows a positive correlation between force and acceleration.

<h3>What is the relationship between acceleration of an object and the applied force?</h3>

The acceleration of an object is the change in velocity with time.

  • Acceleration = change in velocity/time

Force is defined as an agent which causes a change in the motion or state of rest of a body.

According to Newton's law of motion, the rate of change of velocity of an object is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place in the direction of the applied force.

Force and acceleration have a positive correlation.

Therefore, the scatter plot which will most closely match the measurements that the students will obtain is that which shows a positive correlation between force and acceleration.

In conclusion, acceleration of a object is proportional to the applied force.

What is the mass in grams of BaCl2 that is needed to prepare 200 mL of a 0.500 M solution
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

= 20.82 g of BaCl2

Explanation:

Given,

Volume = 200 mL

Molarity = 0.500 M

Therefore;

Moles = molarity × volume

          = 0.2 L × 0.5 M

          = 0.1 mole

But; molar mass of BaCl2 is 208.236 g/mole

Therefore; 0.1 mole of BaCl2 will be equivalent to;

  = 208.236 g/mol x 0.1 mol

  = 20.82 g

Therefore, the mass of BaCl2 in grams required is 20.82 g

Calculate the speed of light in an unknown substance whose index of refraction is 1.65. Would you expect the light to bend towar
Anna71 [15]

(a) The speed of light in the unknown substance is determined 1.82 x 10⁸ m/s.

(b) The light will bend away from the normal since speed of light in air is not equal to speed of light in the substance.

<h3>What is the speed of light?</h3>

The speed of light passing from air into the substance is calculated as follows;

refractive index = speed of light in air / speed of light in the substance

speed of light in the substance = speed of light in air/refractive index

speed of light in the substance = (3 x 10⁸) / (1.65)

speed of light in the substance = 1.82 x 10⁸ m/s

Thus, the light will bend away from the normal since speed of light in air is not equal to speed of light in the substance.
