Answer:

2 litres of pure alcohol will be added to make the overall concentration of 9 litres of mixture as 30%.

Explanation:

Suppose x is the number of litres added to the 10% mixture than the quantity of new mixture is given as below

  • n_{old}=7 litres
  • n_{new}=7+x litres

Also the quantity of alcohol is given as

  • q_{old}=10 \% \, of \, 7 \, litres =0.7
  • q_{added}=x
  • q_{new}= 30 \% \,of \,new\, quantity = 0.3(7+x)

Now the equation is as

                                  q_{old}+q_{added}=q_{new}\\0.7+x=0.3(7+x)\\0.7+x=2.1+0.3x\\x-0.3x=2.1-0.7\\0.7x=1.4\\x=2 \, litres

So 2 litres of pure alcohol will be added to make the overall concentration of 9 litres of mixture as 30%.

zalisa [80]
The energy involved in melting in freezing is heat, At 0 degrees Celsius ice is at an equilibrium where the heat energy absorbed during melting (endothermic) and heat energy dispersed during freezing (exothermic). When ice melts its absorbs heat energy to change states, when water freezes to ice it dispersed heat energy so that the particles can move slow enough to be almost frozen, but still very small vibrations throughout the ice. Particles in the frozen state are packed tightly and help together by a crystal lattice and IMF's, liquid is free flowing with free floating particles that can move freely from one another particle.

Tanya [424]

Answer:

The correct answer is (D) All of the above.

Explanation:

A chemical bond is the attraction force between atoms (covalent bond) or between oppositely charged ions (ionic bond) to form a stable arrangement. In order to get a stable arrangement must be fulfilled the octet rule. This establishes that an atom could share (covalent bond) win or lose (ionic bond) electrons with other atoms till every atom has eight valence electrons. The complete outer shell of valence electrons make elements stable to get a stable noble gas configuration.

How many moles of ammonia (nh3) would be produced if 2.5 moles of nitrogen (n2) reacted with excess hydrogen (h2)?
cluponka [151]
Firstly, a balanced equation has to be written for the production of ammonia (NH₃) from hydrogen gas (H₂) and nitrogen gas (N₂):
                    N₂   +   3H₂   →   2NH₃

Now, the mole ratio of N₂ : NH₃ is 1 : 2 based on the coefficients of the balanced equation.

If the moles of N₂ = 2.5 moles

   then the moles of NH₃ produced = 2.5 mol × 2 
                                                          =  5 mol

Thus, the moles of ammonia produced when 2.5 mol of nitrogen gas is combined with excess hydrogen gas is 5 mol.
