Answer:

Explanation:

Forest fires always start by one of two ways - naturally caused or human caused. Natural fires are generally started by lightning, with a very small percentage started by spontaneous combustion of dry fuel such as sawdust and leaves. On the other hand, human-caused fires can be due to any number of reasons.

Answer:

1) 16.8 L CO2

2) 36.96 L NH3

3) 9.88 L CO2

4) 56.99 L H2O

Explanation:

How many liters of carbon dioxide gas will be produced when 75.0 g of calcium carbonate decomposes to form calcium oxide when at STP?

CaCO3 → CaO + CO2

Moles calcium carbonate = 75.0 grams / 100.09 g/mol

Moles calcium carbonate = 0.750 moles

For 1 mol CaCO3 we'll have 1 mol CaO and 1 mol CO2

For 0.750 moles CaCO3 we'll have 0.750 moles CO2

1 mol = 22.4 L

0.750 moles CO2 = 0.750 *22.4 L = 16.8 L CO2

2. Hydrogen gas reacts with 23.1 g of nitrogen gas to produce ammonia (NH3). What volume of ammonia will be produced at STP?

3H2 + N2 → 2NH3

Moles N2 = 23.1 grams / 28.0 g/mol

Moles N2 = 0.825 moles

For 3 moles H2 we need 1 mol N2 to produce 2 moles NH3

For 0.825 moles N2 we'll have 2*0.825 = 1.65 moles NH3

1 mol = 22.4 L

1.65 mol = 1.65 * 22.4 L = 36.96 L NH3

3. Iron (III) oxide reacts with carbon monoxide to form iron and carbon dioxide. How many liters of carbon dioxide will be produced from 23.5 g of iron (III) oxide when at STP?

Fe2O3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO2

Moles Fe2O3 = 23.5 grams / 159.69 g/mol

Moles Fe2O3 = 0.147 moles

For 1 mol Fe2O3 we need 3 moles CO to produce 2 moles Fe and 3 moles CO2

For 0.147 moles Fe2O3 we'll have 3*0.147 = 0.441 moles CO2

1 mol = 22.4 L

0.441 moles = 22.4 * 0.441 = 9.88 L CO2

4.How many liters of water vapor would be produced in the combustion of 12.5L of ethane, C2H6 at STP?

2C2H6 + 7O2 →4CO2 + 6H2O

22.4 L = 1 mol

12.5 L = 0.848 moles C2H6

For 2 moles C2H6 we need 7 moles O2 to produce 4 moles CO2 and 6 moles H2O

For 0.848 moles C2H6 we'll have 3*0.848 = 2.544 moles H2O

1 mol = 22.4 L

2.544 moles = 22.4 L * 2.544 = 56.99 L H2O

A 25 gram(m) metal ball is heated to 200C(delta T) with 2330 Joules(q) of energy. What is the specific heat of the metal?

Dominik [7]

Answer:

The specific heat of the metal is 0.466 $\frac{J}{g*C}$

Explanation:

Calorimetry is the measurement and calculation of the amounts of heat exchanged by a body or a system.

The equation that allows calculating heat exchanges is:

Q = c * m * ΔT

where Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m, made up of a specific heat substance c and where ΔT is the temperature variation.

In this case:

Q= 2330 J
c= ?
m= 25 g
ΔT= 200 °C

Replacing:

2330 J= c*25 g* 200 °C

Solving:

$c=\frac{2330 J}{25 g* 200 C}$

c=0.466 $\frac{J}{g*C}$

The specific heat of the metal is 0.466 $\frac{J}{g*C}$

adell [148]

Answer:

The correct answer is vertebrate enzyme hydrolyze alpha-1,4 glycosidic linkage but not glucose in the beta configuration.

Explanation:

The amylase that is present inside human body is called salivary alpha amylase,an enzyme that digest the alpha-1,4-glycosidic linkages of starch but does not act on those glycosidic linkages which are present in beta configuration.

Cellulose contain beta-1,4-glycosidic linkages.That"s why it is not digested by the alpha amylase enzyme present inside the human body basically present in the saliva.

An atom of hydrogen and an atom of carbon are

LenKa [72]

Answer: -

Organic compounds consisting of only carbon atoms and hydrogen atoms are known as hydrocarbons.

Hydrocarbons are used by us for mainly as a source of energy. Hydrocarbons make up gasoline which is used as fuel in automobiles.

Hydrocarbons depending on the type of unsaturation can be of three types - alkanes, alkenes and alkynes.
