Scavengers break down wastes into simple, organic substances. a. true b. false

A. true
A scavenger is an organism that mostly consumes decaying biomass, such as meat or rotting plant material. Many scavengers are a type of carnivore, which is an organism that eats meat. While most carnivores hunt and kill their prey, scavengers usually consume animals that have either died of natural causes or been killed by another carnivore.

Instant cold packs, often used to ice athletic injuries on the field, contain ammonium nitrate and water separated by a thin pla

RSB [31]

Answer: The enthalpy change of the reaction is -27. kJ/mol

Explanation:

To calculate the mass of water, we use the equation:

$\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}$

Density of water = 1 g/mL

Volume of water = 25.0 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1g/mL=\frac{\text{Mass of water}}{25.0mL}\\\\\text{Mass of water}=(1g/mL\times 25.0mL)=25g$

To calculate the heat released by the reaction, we use the equation:

$q=mc\Delta T$

where,

q = heat released

m = Total mass = [1.25 + 25] = 26.25 g

c = heat capacity of water = 4.18 J/g°C

$\Delta T$ = change in temperature = $T_2-T_1=(21.9-25.8)^oC=-3.9^oC$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$q=26.25g\tiimes 4.18J/g^oC\times (-3.9^oC)=-427.9J=-0.428kJ$

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

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

Given mass of ammonium nitrate = 1.25 g

Molar mass of ammonium nitrate = 80 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of ammonium nitrate}=\frac{1.25g}{80g/mol}=0.0156mol$

To calculate the enthalpy change of the reaction, we use the equation:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=\frac{q}{n}$

where,

q = amount of heat released = -0.428 kJ

n = number of moles = 0.0156 moles

$\Delta H_{rxn}$ = enthalpy change of the reaction

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=\frac{-0.428kJ}{0.0156mol}=-27.44kJ/mol$

Hence, the enthalpy change of the reaction is -27. kJ/mol

A 2.5 mol sample of phosphorus pentachloride, PCl5 dissociates at 160C and 1.00atm to give 0.338 mol of phosphorus trichloride a

Readme [11.4K]

Explanation:

Moles of phosphorus pentachloride present initially = 2.5 mol

Moles of phosphorus trichloride at equilibrium = 0.338 mol

$PCl_5\rightleftharpoons PCl_3+Cl_2$

Initially

2.5 mol 0 0

At equilibrium:

(2.5 - x) mol x x

So, from above, the moles of phosphorus trichloride at equilibrium , x= 0.338 mol

Mass of 0.338 moles of phosphorus trichloride at equilibrium:

= 0.338 mol × 137.5 g/mol = 46.475 g

Moles of phosphorus pentachloride present at equilibrium :

= (2.5 - 0.338) mol = 2.162 mol

Mass of 2.162 moles of phosphorus pentachloride at equilibrium:

= 2.162 mol × 208.5 g/mol = 450.777 g

Moles of chloride gas present at equilibrium : 0.338 mol

Mass of 0.338 moles of chloride gas at equilibrium:

= 0.338 mol × 71 g/mol = 23.998 g

A gas mixture contains 10.0 mole% H2O (v) and 90.0 mole % N2. The gas temperature and absolute pressure at the start of each of

Rainbow [258]

Answer: (a). T = 38.2 °C (b). V = 1.3392 cm³ (c). ii and iii

Explanation:

this is quite easy to solve, i will give a step by step analysis to solving this problem.

(a). from the question we have that;

the Mole fraction of Nitrogen, yи₂ = 0.1

Also the Mole fraction of Water, yн₂o = 0.1

We know that the vapor pressure is equal to the partial pressure because the vapor tends to condense at due point.

ρн₂o = ṗн₂o

= yн₂oP = 0.1 × 500 mmHg = 50 mmHg

from using Antoine equation, we apply the equation

logρн₂o = A - B/C+T

T = B/(A - logρн₂o) - C

= 1730.63 / (8.07131 - log 50mmHg) - 223.426

T = 38.2 °C

We have that the temperature for the first drop of liquid form is 38.2 °C

(b). We have to calculate the total moles of gas mixture in a 30 litre flask;

n = PV/RT

n = [500(mmHG) × 30L] / [62.36(mmHGL/mol K) × 323.15K] = 0.744 mol

Moles of H₂O(v) is 0.1(0.744) = 0.0744 mol

Moles of N₂ is 0.9(0.744) = 0.6696 mol

we have that the moles of water condensed is 0.0744 mol i.e the water vapor in the flask is condensed

Vн₂o = 0.0744 × 18 / 1 (g/cm³)

Vн₂o = 1.3392 cm³

Therefore, the volume of the liquid water is 1.3392 cm³

(3). (ii) and (iii)

The absolute pressure of the gas and The partial pressure of water in the gas would change if the barometric pressure drops.

cheers i hope this helps!!!!
