In a combustion analysis, the carbon in a hydrocarbon fuel is

scoray [572]

During a combustion reaction the carbon in a hydrocarbon compound is paired with Oxygen (O2) in the air to form Carbon-Dioxide (CO2), whilst the Hydrogen too pairs with Oxygen to form water vapour (H2O). Heat is also produced during this reaction.

What is the relationship between density and boiling point

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

A liquid in a vacuum has a lower boiling point than when that liquid is at atmospheric pressure. A liquid at high-pressure has a higher boiling point than when that liquid is at atmospheric pressure. In other words, the boiling point of a liquid varies depending upon the surrounding environmental pressure

Olympic cyclists fill their tires with helium to make them lighter. Assume that the volume of the tire is 860 mL , that it is fi

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

a) the mass of air = 8.24 grams

b) the mass of helium = 1.14 grams

c) the mass difference = 7.10 grams

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of the tire = 860 mL

Total pressure = 120 psi

Temperature = 26°C

molar mass of air = 28.8 g/mol

Step 2: Convert psi to atm

(

120 psi) (1 atm / 14.7 psi) = 8.163

Step 4: Calculate moles

PV = nRT

⇒ with P = the pressure = 8.163 atm

⇒ with V = the volume = 860 mL = 0.860 L

⇒ with n = the number of moles = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ with R = the universal gas constant = 0.08206 L*atm/K*mol

⇒ with T = the temperature = 26 °C = 299 Kelvin

n = (8163*0.860)/(0.08206*299)

n = 0.2861 moles of gas

Step 5: Calculate the mass of air in an air-filled tire.

Mass = moles * molar mass

Mass = (0.2861 moles of gas) (28.8 g/mol)

Mass = 8.24 grams

Step 6: Calculate the mass of helium in a helium- filled tire.

mass of helium = 0.2861 moles of gas * 4 g/mol)

mass of helium = 1.14 grams

Step 7: What is the mass difference between the two?

Δmass= 8.24 grams - 1.14 grams

Δmass= 7.10 grams

Assume a single Br replacement in the reaction of methane and Br2. Use a structural diagram to show the products of the reaction

Damm [24]

A detail reaction mechanism that is operative during the reaction methane and bromine gas is shown below.

In present mechanism, Br2 undergoes homolytic bond fission under irradiation with UV light. This results in generation of two Br· free radicals.

This, this free radical abstracts H· from methane to form HBr. This process in turn generates methyl radical.

Methyl radical combines with other Br· to form bromomethane.

UV irritation in present reaction systems, initiates chain of events
