Dry ice (solid CO2) has occasionally been used as an "explosive" in mining. A hole is drilled, dry ice and a small amount of gun

powder are placed in the hole, a fuse is added, and the hole is plugged. When lit, the exploding gunpowder rapidly vaporizes the dry ice, building up an immense pressure. Assume that 391 g of dry ice is placed in a cavity with a volume of 0.770 L and the ignited gunpowder heats the CO2 to 695 ∘C. What is the final pressure inside the hole?

Answer:

Final pressure = 0.77atm

Explanation:

The concept used to approach this question is the Ideal gas equation

PV = nRT

where P = pressure

V = Volume

n = number of mole or amount of substance

R = ideal gas constant

T = Temperature in Kelvin

  • from the parameters given ; mass = 391g
  • volume = 0.770 L
  • Temperature = 695 ∘C = 695 + 273 = 968K
  • R = 0.0821
  • number of moles = mass/molar mass
  • molar mass of CO2 = 12 + 2x16 = 44g/mol
  • number of moles = 391g/44g/mol = 8.886mol

plugging into the equation to get the final pressure,

  • from PV = nRT
  • P = nRT/V = 8.886 x 0.0821 x 968 / 0.770
  • Final pressure = 0.77atm

Include a map with points where neon can be found.
nalin [4]
Here is some information: "Neon is a chemical element with symbol Ne and atomic number 10. It is in group 18 of the periodic table. Neon is a colorless, odorless, inert monatomic gas under standard conditions, with about two-thirds the density of air. It was discovered in 1898 as one of the three residual rare inert elements remaining in dry air, after nitrogen, oxygen, argon and carbon dioxide were removed. Neon was the second of these three rare gases to be discovered, and was immediately recognized as a new element from its bright red emission spectrum. The name neon is derived from the Greek word, νέον, neuter singular form of νέος, meaning new. Neon is chemically inert and forms no uncharged chemical compounds. The compounds of neon include ionic molecules, molecules held together by van der Waals forces and clathrates."

Also: "Neon is rare on Earth, found in the Earth's atmosphere at 1 part in 55,000, or 18.2 ppm by volume (this is about the same as the molecule or mole fraction), or 1 part in 79,000 of air by mass."

Also I only found one if that is okay but here it is: It is the place where it is a city and most people find most neon there.

What is the molarity (M) of chloride ions in a solution prepared by mixing 155 ml of 0.276 M calcium chloride with 384 ml of 0.4
sesenic [268]

Answer: The concentration of Cl^- ions in the resulting solution is 1.16 M.

Explanation:

To calculate the molarity of the solution after mixing 2 solutions, we use the equation:

M=\frac{n_1M_1V_1+n_2M_2V_2}{V_1+V_2}

where,

n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of the CaCl_2

n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of the AlCl_3

We are given:

n_1=2\\M_1=0.276M\\V_1=155mL\\n_2=3\\M_2=0.471M\\V_2=384mL  

Putting all the values in above equation, we get

M=\frac{(2\times 0.276\times 155)+(3\times 0.471\times 384)}{155+384}\\\\M=1.16M

The concentration of Cl^- ions in the resulting solution will be same as the molarity of solution which is 1.16 M.

Hence, the concentration of Cl^- ions in the resulting solution is 1.16 M.

What is the composition of tungsten?
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

90% to 97% pure tungsten in a matrix of nickel and copper or nickel and iron.

Explanation:

Heavy metal tungsten alloys are 90% to 97% pure tungsten in a matrix of nickel and copper or nickel and iron. The addition of these alloying elements improves both the ductility and machinability of these alloys over non-alloyed tungsten.
