Why did Boyle think that chemistry was the key to understanding?

Chemistry
1 answer:
stepan [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Boyle believed that chemistry – the behavior of substances – could be explained through the motion of atoms, which in turn could be understood through mechanics – Galileo's mathematics of motion. Boyle was ultimately proved correct, because today we can understand chemistry mathematically, through quantum mechanics.

When butane burns completely, only water and carbon dioxide gas are produced. If 11.6 g of butane and 40.0 L of oxygen at 22.0o
Angelina_Jolie [31]

19.7 litre volume of carbon dioxide gas at 22.0o C and 102 kPa can be collected over water.

<h3>What is vapour pressure?</h3>

Vapour pressure is a measure of the tendency of a material to change into the gaseous or vapour state, and it increases with temperature.

Moles of Butane = mass in grams / molar mass = 11.6 / 58.12 = 0.2

Volume of O_2 (V) = 40 liter

Temperature (T) = 22°C = 22 + 273 = 295 K

Pressure (P) = 102 kPa = 102 / 101.325 = 1.007 atm

Moles of O_2 (n) can be calculated by ideal gas equation.

PV = nRT

n = 1.007 40 ÷ 0.0821 295 = 1.663

Balanced chemical reaction;

2C_4H_10 + 13O_2 ---> 8CO_2 + 10H_2O

From reaction;

13 moles O_2 require 2 moles C_4H_10

So, 1.663 moles O_2 will require = 2 x 1.663 ÷13 = 0.256 moles of C_4H_10

Thus C_4H_10 is a limiting reagent. So it will drive the yield of CO_2.

Moles of CO_2 produced = (8/2) 0.2 = 0.8 moles

Pressure of CO_2 (P) = 102 - 2.24 = 99.76 kPa = 99.76  ÷ 101.325 = 0.985 atm

Applying the ideal gas equation for CO_2,

PV = nRT

0.985 V = 0.8 0.0821 x 295

V = 19.7 liter

The volume of CO_2 produced = 19.7 liter.

Find a mole of 0.0960 g of H2SO4
nignag [31]
Molar mass H₂SO₄ = 98.079 g/mol

1 mol -------- 98.079 g
? mole ------ 0.0960 g

moles = 0.0960 * 1 / 98.079

= 0.0960 / 98.079

= 9.788 x 10⁻⁴ moles

hope this helps!

Compare and Contrast the two common forces of gravity and friction.
____ [38]

Answer:

Gravity always pulls objects such as a desk, book or person down. Thus, when you jump gravity causes you to land on the ground. Friction, however, doesn't pull objects down
