Answer: A.  Diethyl ether has a very low miscibility in wate

The fact that the diethyl ether is miscible or not in water <u>does not imply a ris</u>k for the person who is working with this reagent in the laboratory.

However, the fact that diethyl ether forms explosive peroxides and that it is highly flammable implies that there is a risk of explosion when exposed to air and sunlight. On the other hand, as option C mentions, if a person inhales a large quantity of this reagent, they may lose consciousness and suffer some injury when fainting, due to the powerful anesthetic effect of this reagent.<u> In conclusion, options B, C and D are statements that imply safety problems associated with the use of diethyl ether in the laboratory, while option A does not imply it.</u>

What pressure will be produced when 2.0 moles of N2 gas is heated to 68oC in a container that holds 1.25 of gas?
Stella [2.4K]

The pressure of the nitrogen gas produced is determined as 44.77 atm.

<h3>What is the pressure of the Nitrogen gas?</h3>

The pressure of the nitrogen gas is determined from ideal gas equation, as shown below;

PV = nRT

P = nRT/V

where;

  • n is number of moles = 2 moles
  • R is ideal gas constant = 0.08205 L.atm/mol.K
  • T is temperature = 68⁰C = 68 + 273 = 341 K
  • V is volume = 1.25 L

P = (2 x 0.08205 x 341)/(1.25)

P = 44.77 atm.

How does wind develop
avanturin [10]
It is caused by differences in the atmospheric pressure. When a difference in atmospheric pressure exists, air moves from the higher to the lower pressure area, resulting in winds that vary in speed. On Earth, air is also deflected by the Coriolis effect, except exactly on the equator.
