Wood with a mass of 3.0 grams was burned in an open dish. The ashes weighed 1.2 grams.

The rest of the wood was burned into gases of equivalent weight.

<u>Explanation</u>:

The rest of the wood was burned into gases of equivalent weight.

  • When wood is burnt in the open air, with the help of oxygen and heat, it is transformed into carbon dioxide, water vapor, and ashes.
  • Ignition and combustion of wood mainly depend on pyrolysis which is also known as thermal combustion.
  • The loss in weight of the ashes is due to the fact that gases and water vapor are also formed due to the combustion of wood.

Which gas law has assumptions of a fixed amount and temperature of a gas
romanna [79]
The answer is Boyle's law. Boyle's law states that the volume of a fixed mass of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure at a constant absolute temperature.
That is; V α 1/P , at constant temperature and a fixed amount of the gas. 
Such that V= k/P where k is a constant

A compound is found to have a molar mass of 598 g/mol. if 35.8 mg of the compound is dissolved in enough water to make 175 ml of
TiliK225 [7]
The computation for molarity is: 
(x) (0.175 L) = 0.0358 g / 598 g/mol 
x = 0.000342093 M 
Whereas the osmotic pressure calculation: 
pi = iMRT 
pi = (1) (0.000342093 mol/L) (0.08206 L atm / mol K) (298 K) 
pi = 0.0083655 atm 
Converting the answer to torr, will give us:
0.0083655 atm times (760 torr/atm) = 6.35778 torr 
which rounds off to 6.36 torr

A mixture of 10.0 g of Ne and 10.0 g AR have a total pressure of 1.6 atm. what is the partial pressure of Ne?
LuckyWell [14K]
<span>The partial pressure contributed to the overall pressure is proportional to the number of moles of gas particles. Both Neon and Argon are noble gases so there's just 1 atom per molecule. So let's determine how many moles of each we have:
 Atomic weight neon = 20.1797
 Atomic weight argon = 39.948

   Moles neon = 10.0 g / 20.1797 g/mol = 0.495547506 mol
 Moles argon = 10.0 g / 39.948 g/mol = 0.250325423 mol

   So there's a total of 0.495547506 + 0.250325423 = 0.745872929 moles of gas particles. And for neon, it contributes 0.495547506/0.745872929 = 0.664385965 = 66.4385965% of them, so it contributes 66.4385965% of the total pressure. Which is 66.4385965% * 1.6 atm = 1.063017544 atm.

Rounding to 3 significant figures gives 1.06 atm, or 66.4% of the total pressure.</span>
