SCBA tanks use regular air, not pure oxygen. <span>Modern SCBA cylinders are carbon fiber wrapped aluminum. They do get hot under high temperature conditions. But, the most common ones today are tested to 6000 PSI, and filled to 4500. This gives them some buffer for increase in pressure due to heating. Furthermore, any increase in pressure from heat is usually offset by the rapid release of air as we breathe the tank down. Firefighting is heavy, hot, difficult work, and a tank of air usually lasts about 2/3 of what it states on the label.</span>

How many molecules of nitrogen dioxide are in 1.28 g of nitrogen dioxide?
Kryger [21]
In order to determine the number of molecules of nitrogen dioxide that are in 1.28 g of nitrogen dioxide, we first need to know these values:

Molar mass of nitrogen dioxide = 46.0055 g/mol
Avogadro's number = 6.022 x 10^23 molecules/mol

Then, we divide 1.28 g by the molar mass and multiply the resulting value to Avogadro's number:

1.28 g/ 46.0055 g/mol x 6.022 x 10^23 molecules/mol = 1.6755 x 10^22 molecules of nitrogen dioxide

An object with a mass of 3.5 g raises the level of water in a graduated cylinder from 25.1 mL to 31.7 mL. What is the density of
vodomira [7]

density of the object = 0.53 g/mL

Explanation:

First we need to find the volume of the object which is equal to the rise of the water in the graduated cylinder:

volume = 31.7 - 25.1 = 6.6 mL

Now we calculate the density of the object using the following formula:

density = mass / volume

density = 3.5 g / 6.6 mL

density = 0.53 g/mL

How would you create an ion with a -1 charge comparing number of electrons and protons
alekssr [168]
In a neutral ion, the number of protons would be equal to the number of electrons. You get a positive or negative charge when electrons are lost or gained.
Example: 12/6 C1-
There are 6 protons, 6 neutrons, and 7 electrons.

Consider the following reaction:
Goshia [24]

Answer:

2.01

Explanation:

First, let's convert grams to moles

(Na) 22.99 + (F) 18.998 = 41.988

Every mole of NaF is  41.988 grams

21/41.988 = 0.500143 moles of NaF

For every Cr+3, we will need 2 NaF, so Cr+3 will be half of NaF

0.500143/2 = 0.250071

molarity = moles/liters

0.250071/0.125 = 2.0057 M
