Petrol is primarily characterised by its octane number which defines its ability to burn efficiently and produce more energy per unit. A low octane petrol particle blast inside the engine instead of burning from spark this is called knocking as it produces knocking sound in the engine, to counter this an anti-knocking agent is added to petrol. Earlier Lead was used as an anti-knocking agent but it is highly toxic ,also the researchers who experimented lead with petrol died unnatural death. In later stages when effects of lead toxicity started showing up lead was replaced by benzene compounds as anti-knocking agents this is know as Unleaded petrol. Benzene is carcinogenic and started showing its ill effects after few years especially in densely populated cities. Govts have reduced the concentration of benzene in petrol thereafter and emphasised on implementation of Euro iv standards.

In a mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen gases, the mole fraction of nitrogen is 0.333. If the partial pressure of hydrogen in the
notka56 [123]

Answer:

P_T=112.4torr

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since these problems about gas mixtures are based off Dalton's law in terms of mole fraction, partial pressure and total pressure, we can write the following for hydrogen, we are given its partial pressure:

P_{H_2}=x_{H_2}*P_T

And can be solved for the total pressure as follows:

P_T=\frac{P_{H_2}}{x_{H_2}}

However, we first calculate the mole fraction of hydrogen by subtracting that of nitrogen to 1 due to:

x_{H_2}+x_{N_2}=1\\\\x_{H_2}=1-0.333=0.667

Then, we can plug in to obtain the total pressure:

P_T=\frac{75.0torr}{0.667}\\\\P_T=112.4torr

Regards!

What temperature would 3.54 moles of xenon gas need to reach to exert a pressure of 1.57 atm at a volume of 34.6 l
ira [324]

Answer:

186.9Kelvin

Explanation:

The ideal gas law equation is PV = n R T

where

P   is the pressure of the gas

V   is the volume it occupies

n  is the number of moles of gas present in the sample

R  is the universal gas constant, equal to  0.0821 atm L /mol K

T  is the absolute temperature of the gas

Ensure units of the volume, pressure, and temperature of the gas correspond to R ( the universal gas constant, equal to  0.0821 atm L /mol K )

n = 3.54moles

P= 1.57

V= 34.6

T=?

PV = n R T

PV/nR = T

1.57 x 34.6/3.54 x 0.0821

54.322/0.290634= 186.908620464= T

186.9Kelvin ( approximately to 1 decimal place)

Glucose, c6h12o6, is used as an energy source by the human body. the overall reaction in the body is described by the equation
Art [367]
Glucose is carbohydrate and a simple sugar that is very important to the human body.

Energy is produced for the cells in the body through the process of metabolism which oxidizes glucose to water, carbon dioxide, and some nitrogen compounds. 

The general chemical reaction equation for metabolism is:
 
C6H12O6 + 6O2 ---> 6CO2 + 6H2O

Which particles have a similar relative mass
olganol [36]

Answer:

c ) protons and neutrons

Explanation:

Protons and neutrons have approximately the same mass, but they are both much more massive than electrons (approximately 2,000 times as massive as an electron). The positive charge on a proton is equal in magnitude to the negative charge on an electron.
