As Fire needs oxygen to burn, Carbon Dioxide Covers the fire like an blanket and cuts the contact of fire to the oxygen present in the air, So Fire stops burning.That is why Carbon Dioxide is Considere as the best Fire Extinguisher.

Answer:Carbon dioxide extinguishes work by displacing oxygen, or taking away the oxygen element of the fire triangle. The carbon dioxide is also very cold as it comes out of the extinguisher, so it cools the fuel as well

These are 6 questions and 6 answers.

Question 1:

Answer: 33.7 atm

Explanation:

1) Data:

p=?
m = 1360.0 g N2O
V = 25.0 liter
T = 59.0°C

2) Formulas:

Ideal gas law: p V = n R T
n = mass in grams / molar mass

3) Solution

n = mass of N2O in grams / molar mass of N2O

molar mass of N2O = 2 * 14 g/mol + 16 g/mol = 44 g/mol

n = 1360.0 g / 44 g/mol = 30.9 mol

T = 59.0 + 273.15 K = 332.15 K

R = 0.0821 atm*liter / K*mol

=> p = nRT / V = 30.9 mol * 0.0821 [atm*liter / K * mol] * 332.15K / 25.0 liter = 33.7 atm

Answer: 33.7 atm

Question 2:

Answer: 204.5 liter

Explanaton:

1) Data:

m = 11.7 g of He
V = ?
p = 0.262 atm
T = - 50.0 °C

2) Formulas:

pV = nRT

n = mass in grams / atomic mass

3) Solution:

atomic mass of He = 4.00 g/mol

n = 11.7 g / 4.00 g/mol = 2.925 mol

T = - 50.0 + 273.15 K = 223.15 K

pV = nRT => V = nRT / p

V = 2.925 mol * 0.0821 [* liter / K*mol] *223.15K / 0.262 atm = 204.5 liter

Answer: 204.5 liter

Question 3.

Answer: 97.8 mol

Explanation:

1) Data:

Ethane
T = 15.0 °C
p = 100.0 kPa
V = 245.0 ml
n = ?

2) Formula

pV = nRT

3) Solution

pV = nRT => n = RT / pV

T = 15.0 + 273.15K = 288.15K

R = 8.314 liter * kPa / (mol*K)

n = 8.314 liter * kPa / (mol*K) * 288.15K / [100.0 kPa * 0.245 liter] = 97.8 mol

Answer: 97.8 mol

Question 4:

Answer: 113.67 K = - 159.48 °C

Explanation:

1) Data:

V = 629 ml of O2
p = 0.500 atm
n = 0.0337 moles
T = ?

2) Formula:

pV = nRT

3) Solution:

pV = nRT => T = pV / (nR)

T = 0.500 atm * 0.629 liter / (0.0337 mol * 0.0821 atm*liter/K*mol ) = 113.67 K

°C = T - 273.15 = - 159.48 °C

Question 5.

Answer: 5.61 g

Explanation:

1) Data:

V = 3.75 liter of NO
T = 19.0 °C
p = 1.10 atm
m = ?

2) Formulas

pV = nRT

mass = number of moles * molar mass

3) Solution:

pV = nRT => n = pV / (RT)

T = 19.0 + 273.15 K = 292.15 K

n = 1.10 atm * 3.75 liter / [ (0.0821 atm*liter / K*mol) * 292.15 K ] = 0.17 mol

molar mass of NO = 17.0 g/mol + 16.0 g/mol = 33.0 g/mol

mass = 0.17 mol * 33.0 g/mol = 5.61 g

Question 6:

Answer: 22.4 liter

Explanation:

1) Data:

STP
n = 1.00 mol
V = ?

Solution:

1) It is a notable result that 1 mol of gas at STP occupies a volume of 22.4 liter, so that is the answer.

2) You can calculate that from the formula pV = nRT

3) STP stands for stantard pressure and temperature. That is p = 1 atm and T = 0°C = 273.15 K

4) Clear V from the formula:

V = nRT / p = 1.00 mol * 0.0821 atm*liter / (K*mol) * 273.15 K / 1.00 atm = 22.4 liter

Consider the reaction: 2NO(g) O2(g) --> 2NO2(g) Suppose that at a particular moment during the reaction nitric oxide (NO) is
poizon [28]

Answer:

a. 0.0022 M/s

b. 0.0011 M/s

Explanation:

Let's consider the following reaction.

2 NO(g) + O₂(g) → 2 NO₂(g)

The rate of disappearance of NO is 0.0022 mol NO. L⁻¹.s⁻¹

<em>a. At what rate is NO₂ being formed?</em>

The molar ratio of NO to NO₂ is 2:2. The rate of formation of NO₂ is:

\frac{0.0022molNO}{L.s} .\frac{2molNO_{2}}{2molNO} =\frac{0.0022molNO_{2}}{L.s}

<em>b. At what rate is molecular oxygen reacting?</em>

The molar ratio of NO to O₂ is 2:1. The rate of disappearance of O₂ is:

\frac{0.0022molNO}{L.s} .\frac{1molO_{2}}{2molNO} =\frac{0.0011molO_{2}}{L.s}
