Answer:

a) V air/day = 8640 L air  an adult breaths / day

b) 0.0181 L CO intake a person / day

Explanation:

a) one average person has 12 breaths for min:

  • P = 12 breath/min

in each breath it take an average  of 500 mL on air.

  • 1 breath ≅ 500 mL air

⇒ 12 breath / min * 500mL air / breath = 6000 mL air / min

the average air volume per day of a person is:

⇒ Vair/day = 6000 mL air / min * (60 min / h) * ( 24 h / day ) = 8640000 mLair / day * ( L / 1000 mL)

⇒ V air / day = 8640 L / day

b) 2.1 E-6 L CO / L air * 8640 L air / day = 0.0181 L CO / day

d1i1m1o1n [39]
When ammonium chloride NH4Cl is added to water and stirred, it dissolves spontaneously (this is the basis for ΔG) for and the resulting solution feels cold (endothermic, the basis for ΔH). Without doing any calculations, we can easily deduce the signs of ΔG, ΔH, and ΔS for this process based on the observations.

ΔG < 0 (it is spontaneous)
ΔH < 0 (because the process is endothermic - it absorbs energy)
ΔS > 0 (entropy increases because of the dissolution of NH4Cl in water

Solid calcium carbonate (CaCO3) reacts with hydrochloric acid (HCI) to form carbon dioxide, water, and
Pavlova-9 [17]

Using a more concentrated HCl solution and Crushing the CaCO₃ into a fine powder makes the reaction to occur at a faster rate.

<u>Explanation:</u>

CaCO₃(s) + 2HCl(aq) → CaCl₂(aq) + H₂O(aq) + CO₂(g)

When calcium carbonate reacts with hydrochloric acid, it gives out carbon-dioxide in the form of bubbles and there is a formation of calcium chloride in aqueous medium.

The rate of the reaction can be increased by

  • Using a more concentrated HCl solution
  • Crushing the CaCO₃ into a fine powder

When concentrated acid is used instead of dilute acid then the reaction will occur at a faster rate.

When CaCO₃ is crushed into a fine powder then the surface area will increases thereby increasing the rate of the reaction.

a gas measured a volume 100 mL under pressure of 740 mmHg. What would the volume be under a pressure of 780 mmHg with constant t
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

<h2>94.87 mL</h2>

Explanation:

The new volume can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is

P_1V_1 = P_2V_2

Since we're finding the new volume

V_2 =  \frac{P_1V_1}{P_2}  \\

We have

V_2 =  \frac{100 \times 740}{780}  =  \frac{74000}{780}  \\  = 94.8717...

We have the final answer as

<h3>94.87 mL</h3>

Hope this helps you

How many grams of NO will be produced from 60.0g of NO2 reacted with excess water in the following chemical reaction?
Lynna [10]

Answer:

Mass = 19.78 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of NO produced = ?

Mass of NO₂ reacted = 60.0 g

Solution:

Chemical equation:

3NO₂(g) + H₂O(l)   →  2HNO₃(g) + NO(g)

Number of moles of NO₂:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 60.0 g/ 46 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.3 mol

Now we will compare the moles of NO₂ with NO.

                      NO₂         :           NO

                        3            :            1

                      1.3            :            1/3×1.3 = 0.43 mol

Mass of NO:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.43 mol × 46 g/mol

Mass = 19.78 g
