Answer:

The correct answer is the imperial system.

Explanation:

Only three countries in the world, that is, the United States, Myanmar, and Liberia use the imperial system. These include measurements in the form of inches, ounces, Fahrenheit, and feet. In the imperial system, the distances, height, weight, or area measurements are used eventually that traced back to everyday items or parts of the body.

In comparison to other metric systems, the units used in the imperial system are not further differentiated easily into parts of hundreds or thousands, and are thus, regarded of less use in comparison to other metric systems by some. The real follower of the imperial system at present in the world is the United States.

Gaseous butane will react with gaseous oxygen to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water . Suppose 4.1 g of butane is m

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

12.44 g

Explanation:

2C4H10 + 13O2 = 8CO2 + 10H2O

n(C4H10) = m(C4H10)/M(C4H10) = 4.1 / 58g/mol = 0.0707 mol (excess).

n(O2) = m(O2)/M(O2) = 25.9 / 32g/mol = 0.809 mol (deficiency).

Since the ratio of O2 to octane is 13 : 2 we can divide 0.0707 by 2 to get 0.03535 and divide 0.809 by 13 to get 0.062.

mass of CO2 produced =

M = [0.0707 moles C4H10 x 8 moles CO2] / 2 moles C4H10 x 44 g CO2/mol

M = 0.5656/2 * 44

M = 0.2828 * 44

M = 12.44 of CO2

Gallium is produced by the electrolysis of a solution made by dissolving gallium oxide in concentrated NaOH ( aq ) . Calculate t

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Approximately $6.30\times 10^{-3}\;\rm mol$ .

Explanation:

The gallium here is likely to be produced from a $\rm NaGaO_2\, (aq)$ solution using electrolysis. However, the problem did not provide a chemical equation for that process. How many electrons will it take to produce one mole of gallium?

Note the Roman Numeral " $\mathtt{(III)}$ " next to $\rm Ga$ . This numeral indicates that the oxidation state of the gallium in this solution is equal to $+3$ . In other words, each gallium atom is three electrons short from being neutral. It would take three electrons to reduce one of these atoms to its neutral, metallic state in the form of $\rm Ga\, (s)$ .

As a result, it would take three moles of electrons to deposit one mole of gallium atoms from this gallium $\mathtt{(III)}$ solution.

How many electrons are supplied? Start by finding the charge on all the electrons in the unit coulomb. Make sure all values are in their standard units.

$t = \rm 80.0\; min = 80.0\; min \times 60\;s \cdot min^{-1} = 4800\; s$ .

$Q = I \cdot t = \rm 0.380 \; A \times 4800 \; s = 1.824\times 10^3\; C$ .

Calculate the number of electrons in moles using the Faraday's constant. This constant gives the size of the charge (in coulombs) on each mole of electrons.

$\begin{aligned} n(\text{electrons}) &= \frac{Q}{F} \cr &= \rm \dfrac{1.824\times 10^3\; C}{96485.332\; C \cdot mol^{-1}}\cr &\approx \rm 1.89\times 10^{-2}\; mol \end{aligned}$ .

It takes three moles of electrons to deposit one mole of gallium atoms $\rm Ga\, (s)$ . As a result, $\rm 1.89\times 10^{-2}\; mol$ of electrons would deposit $\displaystyle \rm \frac{1}{3}\times 1.89\times 10^{-2}\; mol \approx 6.30\times 10^{-3}\; mol$ of gallium atoms $\rm Ga\, (s)$ .
