Answer : The amount of formaldehyde permissible are, 5.4\times 10^{-6}g

Explanation : Given,

Density of air = 1.2kg/m^3=1.2g/L     (1kg/m^3=1g/L)

First we have to calculate the mass of air.

\text{Mass of air}=\text{Density of air}\times \text{Volume of air}

\text{Mass of air}=1.2g/L\times 6.0L

\text{Mass of air}=7.2g

Now we have to calculate the amount of formaldehyde.

Permissible exposure level of formaldehyde = 0.75 ppm = \frac{0.75g\text{ of formaldehyde}}{10^6g\text{ of air}}

Amount of formaldehyde in 7.2 g of formaldehyde = 7.2g\times \frac{0.75g\text{ of formaldehyde}}{10^6g\text{ of air}}

Amount of formaldehyde in 7.2 g of formaldehyde = 5.4\times 10^{-6}g

Thus, the amount of formaldehyde permissible are, 5.4\times 10^{-6}g

Which of the following is a double replacement reaction? Ca(OH)2 + H2SO4 → CaSO4 + 2H2O CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O 8Fe + S8 → 8FeS Z
abruzzese [7]

That would be the first option Ca(OH)2 + H2SO4  → CaSO4 + 2H2O.

The Ca replaces the H2 in H2SO4,  and the  H2 replaces the Ca is Ca(OH)2.

If 15 grams of Carbon dioxide is produced in a chemical reaction, how many grams of Carbon must be consumed in the reaction if w
Nata [24]

4.1g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of carbon dioxide = 15g

Mass of oxygen gas = 11g

Unknown:

Mass of carbon consumed = ?

Solution:

   Equation of the reaction:

                                              C +  O₂   →   CO₂

    To solve this problem from the balanced equation,  we have to use the amount of product formed and work to Carbon. This is because, we are sure of the amount of carbon dioxide formed but the amount of the given oxygen gas used is not precise.

  Number of moles of CO₂ = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

Molar mass of CO₂ = 12 + (16 x2) = 44g/mol

   Number of moles of CO₂ = \frac{15}{44} = 0.34mole

From the equation of the reaction;

              1 mole of CO₂  is produced from 1 mole of C

           0.34mole of CO₂  will produce 0.34mole of C

Mass of carbon reacting = number of moles x molar mass = 0.34 x 12 = 4.1g
