Elements that tend to gain electrons to form anions during chemical reactions are called non-metals. These are electronegative elements with high ionization energies. They are non-lustrous, brittle and poor conductors of heat and electricity (except graphite).

Which of the following combustion reactions is balanced correctly? A. C4H6 + 5.5O2 4CO2 + 3H2O B. C4H6 + 4O2 4CO2 + 3H2O C. C4H6
Airida [17]
You must verify that the number of atoms of each type is equal on both sides of the chemical equation: same number of C, same number of H and same number of O on both sides.

<span>A. C4H6 + 5.5O2 ---> 4CO2 + 3H2O

element      reactant side      product side

C                4                        4
H                6                        3*2 = 6
O                5.5 * 2 = 11        4*2 + 3 = 11

Then, this equation is balanced.

</span>Do the same with the other equations if you want to verify that they are not balanced.

A tank with volume of 2.4 cu ft is filled with Methane to a pressure of 1500 psia at 104 degrees F. Determine the molecular weig
Soloha48 [4]

Explanation:

It is known that equation for ideal gas is as follows.

               PV = nRT

The given data is as follows.

     Pressure, P = 1500 psia,     Temperature, T = 104^{o}F = 104 + 460 = 564 R

     Volume, V = 2.4 cubic ft,      R = 10.73 psia ft^{3}/lb mol R

Also, we know that number of moles is equal to mass divided by molar mass of the gas.

                n = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}

            m = n \times W

                = 0.594 \times 16.04

                = 9.54 lb

Hence, molecular weight of the gas is 9.54 lb.

  • We will calculate the density as follows.

                d = \frac{PM}{RT}

                    = \frac{1500 \times 16.04}{10.73 \times 564}

                    = 3.975 lb/ft^{3}

  • Now, calculate the specific gravity of the gas as follows.

  Specific gravity relative to air = \frac{\text{density of methane}}{\text{density of air}}

                         = \frac{3.975 lb/ft^{3}}{0.0765 lb/ft^{3}}

                         = 51.96

You need to prepare at 2.0 mL sample of a diluted drug for injection. The total amount of the drug to be injected in this 2.0 mL
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

a) The concentration of drug in the bottle is 9.8 mg/ml

b) 0.15 ml drug solution + 1.85 ml saline.

c) 4.9 × 10⁻⁵ mol/l

Explanation:

Hi there!

a) The concentration of the drug in the bottle is 294 mg/ 30.0 ml = 9.8 mg/ml

b) The drug has to be administrated at a dose of 0.0210 mg/ kg body mass. Then, the total mass of drug that there should be in the injection for a person of 70 kg will be:

0.0210 mg/kg-body mass * 70 kg = 1.47 mg drug.

The volume of solution that contains that mass of drug can be calculated using the value of the concentration calculated in a)

If 9.8 mg of the drug is contained in 1 ml of solution, then 1.47 mg drug will be present in (1.47 mg * 1 ml/ 9.8 mg) 0.15 ml.

To prepare the injection, you should take 0.15 ml of the concentrated drug solution and (2.0 ml - 0.15 ml) 1.85 ml saline

c) In the injection there is a concentration of (1.47 mg / 2.0 ml) 0.735 mg/ml.

Let´s convert it to molarity:

0.735 mg/ml * 1000 ml/l * 0.001 g/mg* 1 mol/ 15000 g = 4.9 × 10⁻⁵ mol/l

What is the number of moles in 432g Ba(NO3)2
777dan777 [17]

First there is a need to calculate the molar mass of Ba(NO₃)₂:

137.3 + 2 (14.0) + 6 (16) = 261.3 grams/mole

The molar mass, denoted by M in chemistry refers to a physical characteristic illustrated as the mass of a given component divided by the amount of the component. The molar masses are always denoted in grams/mole.

After finding the molar mass, the number of moles can be identified as:

432 grams / 261.3 g/mol = 1.65 moles of Ba(NO₃)₂.

If it takes 5 hours to produce 8.0 kg of alcohol, how any days will it take to consume 1000 kg of glucose?
Ipatiy [6.2K]

It takes 21.3 days

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

5 hr = 8 kg Alcohol

Required

Days to consume 1000 kg of glucose

Solution

Alcoholic fermentation⇒ glucose produces ethanol and carbon dioxide,

C₆H₁₂O₆ → 2 C₂H₅OH + 2CO₂

mol ethanol :

\tt \dfrac{5000~g}{46~g/mol}=108.7~moles

moles of glucose to produce 108.7 moles ethanol :

\tt \dfrac{1}{2}\times 108.7=54.35

54.35 moles = 5 hours

moles of 1000 kg of glucose :

\tt \dfrac{10^6~g}{180~g/mol}=5555.5~moles

So for 5555.5 moles, it takes :

\tt \dfrac{5555.5}{54.35}\times 5~hours=511.085~h=21.3~days
