Considering the concept of surface area affecting the rate of reaction, explain why grain storage silos sometimes explode specta

cularly?
Chemistry
1 answer:
valkas [14]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The smaller a particles the higher the surface area to volume ratio

Explanation:

In a grain silo, there are lots of minute dust grain particles and chaff floating in the air. The silo is important in keeping the grains dry hence there is little moisture. These particles, when concentrated, are therefore highly combustible and the slightest spartk can cause a spectacular explosion.

If there are 0.064g of theobromine in a 43g chocolate bar, how many moles of theobromine are there?
Sever21 [200]

Answer: 3.5\times 10^{-4}

Explanation:

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}

Given mass of theobromine (C_7H_8N_4O_2) = 0.064 g

Molar mass of theobromine (C_7H_8N_4O_2)=12\times 7+1\times 8+14\times 4+16\times 2=180 g

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{0.064g}{180g/mol}=3.5\times 10^{-4}moles

1. A 18 M solution of an acid that ionizes only slightly in solution would be termed___
kondor19780726 [428]
<span>A 18 M solution of an acid that ionizes only slightly in solution would be termed
concentrated and weak. The concentration of the acid is high. The acid which dissociates partially in water is a weak acid. 

</span><span>Calculate the [H^+] for the aqueous solution in which [OH^-] is 1 x10^-9. Is this solution acidic, basic or neutral. To determine [H+] use:

1x10^-14 = [OH-][H+]
solve for [H+]
[H+] = 1x10^-14/1x10^-9
        = 1x10^-5</span>

For an ideal gas condition, what is the mass (g) of N2 if the pressure is 2.0 atm, the volume is 25 mL and the temperature is 29
Alchen [17]

Answer:

THE MASS OF NITROGEN GAS IN THIS CONDITIONS IS 0.0589 g

Explanation:

In an ideal condition

PV = nRT or PV = MRT/ MM where:

M = mass = unknown

MM =molar mass = 28 g/mol

P = pressure = 2 atm

V = volume = 25 mL = 0.025 L

R = gas constant = 0.082 L atm/mol K

T = temperature = 290 K

n = number of moles

The gas in the question is nitrogen gas

Molar mass of nitrogen gas = 14 * 2 = 28 g/mol

Then equating the variables and solving for M, we have

M = PV MM/ RT

M = 2 * 0.025 * 28 / 0.082 * 290

M = 1.4 / 23.78

M = 0.0589 g

The mass of the nitrogen gas at ideal conditions of 2 atm, 25 mL volume and 290 K temperature is 0.0589 g
