Why is there a pop sound when a burning splint is extinguished in a test tube filled with hydrogen gas?

Hydrogen is actually a combustible gas. But when you try to burn it, it explodes. However when you produce hydrogen in a laboratory, which is relatively less, and put a burning splint, it also explodes, but in a reduced form - a POP sound. The very small explosion (doesn't feel like one, does it?) extinguishes the flame.

Answer:

The heat generated per gram of sample in calories is 0.87 g

Explanation:

Given that,

A calorimeter made from a can is used to measure the calories in a peanut.

During the experiment, the measured calories were 35% of the true/accepted value given by references

Suppose, the mass of peanut is 0.4 g and find the

We need to calculate the heat generated per gram of sample in calories

Using formula of heat generated

$q=\dfrac{q_{penut\ calorimeter}}{m_{peanut}}$

Put the value into the formula

$q=\dfrac{0.35}{0.4}$

$q=0.87\ g$

Hence, The heat generated per gram of sample in calories is 0.87 g

The half-life of substance-X is 5 minutes. If you start with 20g of substance-X, how much substance-X is leftover after 5 minute

timurjin [86]

At 20g with half-life of 5 minutes there would be 10g leftover in 5 minutes. In 10 mins, there would be 5g leftover. Half-life is actually what it says, it refers to time it takes for half of the active elements, etc to break down at which time the potency of the "product" is half as strong. This term is used mainly with radioactive items or medicines.
