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

If 3.0 moles of x and 4.0 moles of y react according to the hypothetical reaction below, how many moles of the excess reactant w
Lesechka [4]
Firstly the limiting reactant should be identified. Limiting reactant is the reactant that is in limited supply, the amount of product formed depends on the moles present of the limiting reactant.

the stoichiometry of x to y = 1:2
1 mole of x reacts with 2 moles of y
if x is the limiting reactant, there are 3 moles of x, then 6 moles of y should react, however there are only 4 moles of y. Therefore y is the limiting reactant and x is in excess.
4 moles of y reacts with 2 moles of x 
since there are 3 moles of x initially and only 2 moles are used up, excess amount of x is 1 mol thats in excess.

During the combustion of a peanut that weighed 0.341 g, the temperature of the 100 mL of water in the calorimeter rose from 23.4
blondinia [14]

Answer:

119 kCal per serving.

Explanation:

The heat energy necessary to elevates water's temperature from 23.4°C to 37.9°C can be calculated by the equation below:

Q = mcΔT

Q: heat energy

m: mass in g

c: specific heat capacity in cal/g°C

ΔT = temperature variation in °C

m is the mass of water, considering the density of water to be 1g/mL, 100 mL of water weights  100g. Therefore:

Q = 100 g x 1.00 cal/g°C x (37.9 - 23.4)°C

Q = 1450 cal

1450 cal ____ 0.341 g peanuts

x             ____  28 g peanuts

x = 119061.58 cal

This means that the cal from fat per serving of peanuts is at least 119 kCal.

What happens when the temperature changes from cold to hot in most substances
amm1812

Answer:

<h2>When heat is added to a substance, the molecules and atoms vibrate faster. As atoms vibrate faster, the space between atoms increases. The motion and spacing of the particles determines the state of matter of the substance. ... Solids, liquids and gases all expand when heat is added.☺</h2>
