A substance that increases the concentration of hydroxide ions in aqueous solution.

stepladder [879]

The answer that complete the sentence is "Arrhenius base".

The complete sentence is: A substance that increases the concentration of hydroxide ions in aqueous solution is an Arrhenius base.

Arrhenius' acid and base model says that an acid is a substance that contains hydrogen and ionizes in aqueous solution producing protons (H+) and a base is a substance that cointains hydroxide and release it in aqueous solution.

If a solid has a density of 4.0 g/cm^3, what volume of the solid has a mass<br> of 24 g? Show work.

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

<h2>Volume = 6 cm³</h2>

Explanation:

Density of a substance is given by

$Density = \frac{mass}{volume}$

From the question

Density = 4.0 g/cm³

mass = 24g

Substitute the values into the above formula and solve for the volume

That's

$4 = \frac{24}{v} \\4v = 24$

Divide both sides by 4

v = 6

We have the final answer as

<h3>Volume = 6 cm³</h3>

Hope this helps you

Nitroglycerin is a dangerous powerful explosive that violently decomposes when it is shaken or dropped. The Swedish chemist Alfr

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

a. $4 C_3H_5N_3O_9 (l)\rightarrow 6N_2 (g) + O_2 (g) + 10 H_2O (g) + 12 CO_2 (g)$

b. 146.0 g

Explanation:

Question 1 (a). Just as the problem states, liquid nitroglycerin decomposes into nitrogen gas $N_2$ , oxygen gas $O_2$ , water vapor $H_2O$ and carbon dioxide $CO_2$ . Let's write the decomposition of nitroglycerin into these 4 components:

$C_3H_5N_3O_9 (l)\rightarrow N_2 (g) + O_2 (g) + H_2O (g) + CO_2 (g)$

Now we need to balance the equation. Firstly, notice we have 3 carbon atoms on the left and 1 on the right, so let's multiply carbon dioxide by 3:

$C_3H_5N_3O_9 (l)\rightarrow N_2 (g) + O_2 (g) + H_2O (g) + 3 CO_2 (g)$

Now, we have 3 nitrogen atoms on the left and 2 on the right, so let's multiply nitrogen on the right by $\frac{3}{2}$ :

$C_3H_5N_3O_9 (l)\rightarrow \frac{3}{2}N_2 (g) + O_2 (g) + H_2O (g) + 3 CO_2 (g)$

We have 5 hydrogen atoms on the left, 2 on the right, so let's multiply the right-hand side by $\frac{5}{2}$ :

$C_3H_5N_3O_9 (l)\rightarrow \frac{3}{2}N_2 (g) + O_2 (g) + \frac{5}{2} H_2O (g) + 3 CO_2 (g)$

Finally, count the oxygen atoms. We have a total of 9 on the left. On the right we have (excluding oxygen molecule):

$\frac{5}{2} + 6 = 8.5$

This leaves $9 - 8.5 = 0.5 = \frac{1}{2}$ of oxygen. Since oxygen is diatomic, we need to take one fourth of it to get one half in total:

$C_3H_5N_3O_9 (l)\rightarrow \frac{3}{2}N_2 (g) + \frac{1}{4} O_2 (g) + \frac{5}{2} H_2O (g) + 3 CO_2 (g)$

To make it look neater without fractional coefficients, multiply both sides by 4:

$4 C_3H_5N_3O_9 (l)\rightarrow 6N_2 (g) + O_2 (g) + 10 H_2O (g) + 12 CO_2 (g)$

Question 2 (b). Now we can make use of the balanced chemical equation and apply it for the context of this separate problem. We're given the following variables:

$V_{CO_2} = 41.0 L$

$T = -14.0^oC + 273.15 K = 259.15 K$

$p = 1 atm$

Firstly, we may find moles of carbon dioxide produced using the ideal gas law $pV = nRT$ .

Rearranging for moles, that is, dividing both sides by RT (here R is the ideal gas law constant):

$n_{CO_2} = \frac{pV_{CO_2}}{RT} = \frac{1 atm\cdot 41.0 L}{0.08206 \frac{L atm}{mol K}\cdot 259.15 K} = 1.928 mol$

According to the stoichiometry of the balanced chemical equation:

$4 C_3H_5N_3O_9 (l)\rightarrow 6N_2 (g) + O_2 (g) + 10 H_2O (g) + 12 CO_2 (g)$

4 moles of nitroglycerin (ng) produce 12 moles of carbon dioxide. From here we can find moles o nitroglycerin knowing that:

$\frac{n_{ng}}{4} = \frac{n_{CO_2}}{12} \therefore n_{ng} = \frac{4}{12}n_{CO_2} = \frac{1}{3}\cdot 1.928 mol = 0.6427 mol$

Multiplying the number of moles of nitroglycerin by its molar mass will yield the mass of nitroglycerin decomposed:

$m_{ng} = n_{ng}\cdot M_{ng} = 0.6427 mol\cdot 227.09 g/mol = 146.0 g$

Explain how plate tectonics are responsible for where we find some of our natural resources.

Mekhanik [1.2K]

At divergent boundaries, plates separate, forming a narrow rift valley. Here, geysers spurt super-heated water, and magma, or molten rock, rises from the mantle and solidifies into basalt, forming new crust. Thus, at divergent boundaries, oceanic crust is created.

what is a major drawback of using fossil fuels they warmn the planet they contain no greenohuse gases

Charra [1.4K]

The major drawback of fossil fuels is that they warm the planet i.e. they cause global warming.

The reaction typically gives off heat and light as well. The general equation for a complete combustion reaction is:

Fuel + O2 → CO2 + H2O + ENERGY

<h3>Disadvantages of Fossil fuels</h3>

The term "fossil fuels" refers to flammable organic geologic formations, including dead organic matter that has been buried hundreds of feet beneath sediment.

Fossil fuel emissions include various oxides, such as carbon, nitrogen, and sulfate, which cause acid rain and harm the soil's fertility and water quality.
Both coal and petroleum burning discharge a significant amount of pollutants into the atmosphere, contributing to pollution levels.
Gases like carbon dioxide are released through the burning of fossil fuels, which aids in climate change.
