Homes in rural areas where natural gas service is not available often rely on propane to fuel kitchen ranges. The propane is sto

red as a liquid, and the gas to be burned is produced as the liquid evaporates. Suppose an architect has hired you to consult on the choice of a propane tank for such a new home. The propane gas consumed in 1.0 hour by a typical range burner at high power would occupy roughly 165 L at 25°C and 1.0 atm, and the range chosen by the client will have 4 burners. If the tank under consideration holds 400 gallons of liquid propane, what is the minimum number of hours it would take for the range to consume an entire tank of propane? The density of liquid propane is 0.5077 kg/L.

Answer:

2666.7 hours

Explanation:

The key to solve this problem is that we are given the propane gas consumed in one hour by giving us the information of the volume consumed at 1 atm, 298 K (25 +273). Using the gas law we can calculate the rate of consumption  of propane per hour, and from here we can calculate its mass and converting it to gallons and finally diving the 400 gallos by this number.

PV = nRT ∴ n = PV/RT

n = 1 atm x 165 L/ (0.08206 Latm/kmol x 298 K ) = 6.75 mol propane

Mass propane :

6.75 mol x 44 g/mol = 296.88 g

convert this to Kg:

296.88 g/ 1000 g/Kg = 0.30 Kg

calculate the volume in liters this represents by dividing by the density:

0.30 Kg / 0.5077 Kg/L =  0.59 L

changing this to gallons

0.59 L x  1 gallon/3.785 L = 0.15 gallon

and finally calculate how many hours the 400 gallons propane tank will deliver

400 gallon/ 0.15 gallon/hr = 2666.7 hr

Consider a voltaic cell where the anode half-reaction is Zn(s) → Zn2+(aq) + 2 e− and the cathode half-reaction is Sn2+(aq) + 2 e
notsponge [240]

<u>Answer:</u> The concentration of Sn^{2+} in the cell is 9.0\times 10^{-3}M

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

<u>Oxidation half reaction:</u>  Zn(s)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-   E^o_{Zn^{2+}/Zn}=-0.76V

<u>Reduction half reaction:</u>  Sn^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-\rightarrow Sn(s)   E^o_{Sn^{2+}/Sn}=-0.136V

The substance having highest positive E^o potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction. Here, fluorine will undergo reduction reaction will get reduced.

Here, tin will undergo reduction reaction and will get reduced.

Oxidation reaction occurs at anode and reduction reaction occurs at cathode.

To calculate the E^o_{cell} of the reaction, we use the equation:

E^o_{cell}=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

E^o_{cell}=-0.136-(-0.76)=0.624V

To calculate the EMF of the cell, we use the Nernst equation, which is:

E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.059}{n}\log \frac{[Mn^{2+}]}{[Cu^{2+}]}

where,

E_{cell} = electrode potential of the cell = 0.660 V

E^o_{cell} = standard electrode potential of the cell = +0.624 V

n = number of electrons exchanged = 2

[Zn^{2+}]=2.5\times 10^{-3}M

[Sn^{2+}] = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.660=0.624-\frac{0.059}{2}\times \log(\frac{2.5\times 10^{-3}}{[Sn^{2+}})

[Sn^{2+}]=9.0\times 10^{-3}M

Hence, the concentration of Sn^{2+} ions is 9.0\times 10^{-3}M

Determine the correct Lewis structure for ammonia (NH3). Note: Hydrogen and nitrogen have one and five valence electrons respect
Tresset [83]
The lewis structure is helpful in showing how the bonding between atoms of a molecule are. The lewis structure of ammonia would be that the nitrogen atom will share three pairs of electron with the three hydrogen atoms leaving nitrogen to have 1 lone pair.<span />

As the temperature is increased how does the substance move?
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

The movement of substances may occur across a semi‐permeable membrane (such as the plasma membrane). A semi‐permeable membrane allows some substances to pass through, but not others.

The Pauli Exclusion Principle tells us that no two electrons in an atom can have the same four quantum numbers.
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

We can describe electrons using four sets of quantum numbers;

principal quantum number (n)

orbital quantum number (l)

magnetic quantum number (ml)

spin quantum number (ms)

Since no two electrons in an atom can have the same value for all four quantum numbers according to Pauli exclusion theory, for the orbitals given one possible value for each quantum number is shown below;

For 1s-

n = 1, l= 0, ml = 0, ms= 1/2

For 2s-

n= 2, l =0, ml=0, ms=1/2

For 1s and 2s orbitals, there is only one possible value for ml which is zero.
