Answer:

Solar-powered photovoltaic (PV) panels convert the sun's rays into electricity by exciting electrons in silicon cells using the photons of light from the sun. This electricity can then be used to supply renewable energy to your home or business. (Electrical Energy)

At STP, which 2.0-gram sample of matter uniformly fills a 340-milliliter closed container?

Xelga [282]

Answer;

D, Xe (g)

Solution and explanation;

If 2g has a volume of 340ml.

Density is 1000/340*2 = 5.88g/litre.

-This rules out the two solids, choices 2) &3)

If 1 litre has mass 5.88g,

then 22.4 liters (volume at STP) has mass 5.88*22.4 = 131.8g/mol

molar mass Br2 = 80*2 = 160g/mol NO

molar mass Xe = 131.3g/mol = YES.

Answer is Xe

A sample may contain any or all of the following ions: Hg22+, Ba2+, Mn2+. No precipitate formed when an aqueous solution of NaCl

Bess [88]

Answer:

Only Mn⁺² is present.

Explanation:

When an aqueous solution of NaCl is added, the Cl⁻ species is introduced. In the presence of Cl⁻, Hg₂²⁺ would precipitate as Hg₂Cl₂.

When an aqueous solution of Na₂SO₄ is added, the SO₄⁻² species is introduced. In the presence of SO₄⁻², Ba⁺² would precipitate as BaSO₄.

No precipitate formed when either of these solutions were added, thus the sample does not contain Hg₂⁺² nor Ba⁺².

Under basic conditions Mn⁺² would precipitate as Mn(OH)₂. A precipitate formed once the solution was made basic, so the sample contains Mn⁺².

The heat of combustion of propane, C3H8 (g) is -2057 kJ/mol. What would be the enthalpy change if enough propane was burned to g

Digiron [165]

Considering the reaction stoichiometry, the enthalpy change if enough propane was burned to give off 12 moles of carbon dioxide gas is 8228 kJ.

The balanced reaction is:

C₃H₈(g) + 5 O₂(g) → 3 CO₂(g) + 4 H₂O(l)

The heat of combustion of propane, C₃H₈, is -2057 kJ/mol. This is, 2057 kJ is released for every 1 mol C₃H₈.

So to determine the enthalpy change if enough propane was burned to emit 12 moles of carbon dioxide, you must take into account the stoichiometry of the reaction.

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:

C₃H₈: 1 mole
O₂: 5 moles
CO₂: 3 moles
H₂O: 4 moles

Then you can apply the following rule of three: if by stoichiometry 3 moles of CO₂ are produced by 1 mole of C₃H₈, 12 moles of CO₂ are produced by how many moles of C₃H₈?

$amount of moles of C_{3} H_{8} =\frac{12 moles of CO_{2}x1 mole of C_{3} H_{8} }{3 moles of CO_{2}}$

amount of moles of C₃H₈= 4 moles

So to determine the enthalpy change, you can apply the following rule of three: If for each mole of C₃H₈ 2057 kJ are released, for 4 moles of C₃H₈ how much heat is released?

$Heat released=\frac{4 molesx2057 kJ}{1 mole}$

Heat released= 8228 kJ

The enthalpy change if enough propane was burned to give off 12 moles of carbon dioxide gas is 8228 kJ.
