Why do fire accidents take place in mines? What are the diseases caused?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Lorico [155]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Mining accidents can occur from a variety of causes, including leaks of poisonous gases such as hydrogen sulfide or explosive natural gases, especially firedamp or methane, dust explosions, collapsing of mine stopes.Dust: Very fine mineral dust particles from blasting and drilling can accumulate in the lungs, causing a disease called pneumoconiosis. An irreversible, disabling form of this disease called silicosis can occur when a miner inhales excessive amounts of crystalline silica, or quartz

Milk is heterogeneous mixture why​
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Milk is essentially a colloidal dispersion of fat in water. ... However, the fact remains that the fat and water components cannot be mixed together from a solution. There are therefore, two distinct immiscible liquid phase's present, which is why it is a heterogeneous mixture.

What mass of butane in grams is necessary to produce 1.5×103 kj of heat what mass of co2 is produced?
kari74 [83]
The heat of reaction (i.e. combustion) of butane (C_{4} H_{10}) when reacted with oxygen (O_{2})  is -2658 kJ/mol butane, and the chemical reaction is given by: 

C_{4} H_{10} + \frac{13}{2} O_{2} ---> 4 CO_{2}  + 5 H_{2}O

The mass of butane required in the reaction is based on the heat produced by the reaction, which is given to be -1,500 kJ. The minus sign is added because the reaction releases heat (exothermic), which means that the products are in a "lower energy state" than the reactants. 

Dividing this with the heat of reaction per mole of butane reacted would give the number of moles butane required. Then, multiplying the answer with the molar mass of butane which is 58 grams/mole, will give the mass of butane required. 

Moles of butane = [(-1,500 kJ)/(-2658 kJ/mol butane)]
Moles of butane = 0.5643 moles butane

Mass of butane  = 0.5643 moles butane * 58 grams/mol butane
Mass of butane  = 32.73 grams butane

The mass of carbon dioxide (CO_{2}) can be determined by multiplying the moles of butane (C_{4} H_{10}) with the mole ratio of (CO_{2}) produced to the (C_{4} H_{10}) reacted, and then with the molar mass of (CO_{2}), which is 44 grams/mole. 

Mass of carbon dioxide produced 
    = 0.5643 moles butane * [4 moles CO_{2}/ 1 mole C_{4} H_{10}] * 44 grams/mole CO_{2}

Mass of carbon dioxide produced  
    = 99.32 grams CO_{2}

Thus, the mass of butane required is 32.73 grams, and the mass of carbon dioxide produced from the reaction of this amount of butane is 99.32 grams.

A student is asked to standardize a solution of potassium hydroxide. He weighs out 1.08 g potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHC8H4O4
natka813 [3]

Answer:

A. 0.143 M

B. 0.0523 M

Explanation:

A.

Let's consider the neutralization reaction between potassium hydroxide and potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP).

KOH + KHC₈H₄O₄ → H₂O + K₂C₈H₄O₄

The molar mass of KHP is 204.22 g/mol. The moles corresponding to 1.08 g are:

1.08 g × (1 mol/204.22 g) = 5.28 × 10⁻³ mol

The molar ratio of KOH to KHC₈H₄O₄ is 1:1. The reacting moles of KOH are 5.28 × 10⁻³ moles.

5.28 × 10⁻³ moles of KOH occupy a volume of 36.8 mL. The molarity of the KOH solution is:

M = 5.28 × 10⁻³ mol / 0.0368 L = 0.143 M

B.

Let's consider the neutralization of potassium hydroxide and perchloric acid.

KOH + HClO₄ → KClO₄ + H₂O

When the molar ratio of acid (A) to base (B) is 1:1, we can use the following expression.

M_{A} \times V_{A} = M_{B} \times V_{B}\\M_{A} = \frac{M_{B} \times V_{B}}{V_{A}} \\M_{A} = \frac{0.143 M \times 10.1mL}{27.6mL}\\M_{A} =0.0523 M
