Answer:

Antifreeze is whats used to keep your engine cool without freezing.

Explanation:

it keeps the engine from overheating.

It also prevents corrosion.

Here is a quote from google "Antifreeze works because the freezing and boiling points of liquids are “colligative” properties. This means they depend on the concentrations of “solutes,” or dissolved substances, in the solution. A pure solution freezes because the lower temperatures cause the molecules to slow down"

That quote is from "The Science Behind Antifreeze"

How many liters of nitrogen gas are needed to make 25 mol of nitrogen trifluoride

ikadub [295]

The reaction between N₂ and F₂ gives Nitrogen trifluoride as the product. The balanced equation is;

N₂ + 3F₂ → 2NF₃

The stoichiometric ratio between N₂ and NF₃ is 1 : 2
Hence,
moles of N₂ / moles of F₂ = 1 / 2
moles of N₂ / 25 mol = 0.5
moles of N₂ = 0.5 x 25 mol = 12.5 mol

Hence N₂ moles needed = 12.5 mol

At STP (273 K and 1 atm) 1 mol of gas = 22.4 L

Hence needed N₂ volume = 22.4 L mol⁻¹ x 12.5 mol
= 280 L

Calculate the molarity of a 17.5% (by mass) aqueous solution of nitric acid. Select one: a. 2.74 m b. 4.33 m c. 0.274 m d. 3.04

den301095 [7]

Answer:

Option e.

Explanation:

Molarity is the concentration that indicates moles of solute in 1 L of solution.

We have another concentration, percent by mass.

Percent by mass indicates mass of solute in 100 g of solution.

Our solute is HNO₃, our solvent is water.

17.5 g of nitric acid is the mass of solute. We can convert them to moles:

17.5 g . 1mol / 63g = 0.278 moles

We do not have volume of solution. We assume the mass is 100 g because the percent by mass but we need density to state the volume.

Density = Mass / Volume

Mass / Density = Volume

Once we have the volume, we need to be sure the units is in L, to determine molarity

M = mol /L

As a student , what can you do to help in preventing pollution in your community ?

aliya0001 [1]

Answer: as a student , i will do to help in preventing pollution in my community :

Reduce the number of trips you take in your car.

Reduce or eliminate fireplace and wood stove use.

Avoid burning leaves, trash, and other materials.

Avoid using gas-powered lawn and garden equipment.

Using non-toxic or less toxic chemicals as cleaners, degreasers and other maintenance chemicals. Implementing water and energy conservation practices. Reusing materials such as drums and pallets rather than disposing of them as waste.

Store your household chemicals (including cleaning products, paints, fuel canisters, etc.) as far away as possible from the living space and, if possible, in metal cabinets. Do not store chemicals in areas where you spend most of the time. Also, do not store chemicals in open cabinets or shelves.

Use Public Transportation. Use your vehicle a lot less often. .

Drive Smart. .

Do Regular Car Check-Up. .

Keep Car Tires Properly Inflated. .

Buy Energy-Efficient Vehicles. .

Consider “going green” .

Plant a Garden. .

Use Low-VOC or Water-based Paints.

Avoid smoking indoors (but quitting smoking is the best answer for overall health).

Use craft supplies in well-ventilated areas.

Make sure your gas stove is well-ventilated.

Minimize clutter.

Remove carpeting if possible.

Use a dehumidifier and/or air conditioner to reduce moisture.

How can students help reduce pollution?

Help Recycling

The most obvious things to reuse are plastic, glass, metal, and paper or fabric (paper and organic fabric are made of the same component, cellulose, and are recycled in a similar way). The color-coded trash bins show where each of these components can be put to be recycled in a proper way.

68.3 grams of sodium hydroxide reacts with 78.3 grams of magnesium nitrate. ____ grams of magnesium hydroxide will form from thi

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

30.8 grams of magnesium hydroxide will form from this reaction, and magnesium nitrate is the limiting reagent.

Explanation:

The reaction that takes place is:

2NaOH + Mg(NO₃)₂ → 2NaNO₃ + Mg(OH)₂

Now we convert the given masses of reactants to moles, using their respective molar masses:

68.3 g NaOH ÷ 40 g/mol = 1.71 mol NaOH

78.3 g Mg(NO₃)₂ ÷ 148.3 g/mol = 0.528 mol Mg(NO₃)₂

0.528 moles of Mg(NO₃)₂ would react completely with (0.528 * 2) 1.056 moles of NaOH. There are more than enough NaOH moles, so NaOH is the reagent in excess and Mg(NO₃)₂ is the limiting reagent.

Now we calculate how many Mg(OH)₂ are produced, using the moles of the limiting reagent:

0.528 mol Mg(NO₃)₂ * $\frac{1molMg(OH)_2}{1molMg(NO_3)_2}$ = 0.528 mol Mg(OH)₂

Finally we convert Mg(OH)₂ moles to grams:

0.528 mol Mg(OH)₂ * 58.32 g/mol = 30.8 g
