Hello!

The part of the carbon cycle where humans had the greatest impact is the return of CO₂ to the atmosphere by burning of ancient organic matter.

The ancient organic matter is also called Fossil Fuels. Some Fossil Fuels are Petroleum and Coal. Fossil Fuels are used to power our society and are burned to provide energy for power plants and vehicles, and by burning them, Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) is produced, increasing the natural concentration of this compound in the atmosphere.

Have a nice day!

The balanced equation for combustion in an acetylene torch is shown below:
vichka [17]

Answer:

70mol

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is given as:

                  2C₂H₂ + 5O₂ → 4CO₂ + 2H₂O

Given parameters:

Number of moles of acetylene = 35.0mol

Number of moles of oxygen in the tank = 84.0mol

Unknown:

Number of moles of CO₂ produced = 35.0mol

Solution:

From the information given about the reaction, we know that the reactant that limits this combustion process is acetylene. Oxygen is given in excess and we don't know the number of moles of this gas that was used up. We know for sure that all the moles of acetylene provided was used to furnish the burning procedure.

To determine the number of moles of CO₂ produced, we use the stoichiometric relationship between the known acetylene and the CO₂ produced from the balanced chemical equation:

From the equation:

         2 moles of acetylene produced 4 moles of CO₂

          ∴ 35.0 mol of acetylene would produced:  

                               \frac{35 x 4}{2} = 70mol

Let us assume that fe(oh)2(s) is completely insoluble, which signifies that the precipitation reaction with naoh(aq) (presented
Yuki888 [10]

17.8 mL NaOH

<em>Step 1.</em> Write the chemical equation

Fe^(2+) + 2NaOH → Fe(OH)2 + 2Na^(+)

<em>Step 2.</em> Calculate the moles of Fe^(2+)

Moles of Fe^(2+) = 500 mL Fe^(2+) × [0.0230 mmol Fe^(2+)]/[1 mL Fe^(2+)]

= 11.50 mmol Fe^(2+)

<em>Step 3.</em> Calculate the moles of NaOH

Moles of NaOH = 11.50 mmol Fe^(2+) × [2 mmol NaOH]/[1 mmol Fe^(2+)]

= 23.00 mmol NaOH

<em>Step 4.</em> Calculate the volume of NaOH

Volume of NaOH = 23.00 mmol NaOH × (1 mL NaOH/1.29 mmol NaOH)

= 17.8 mL NaOH

The pressure in an automobile tire filled with air is 245.0 kPa. If Po2 = 51.3 kPa, Pco2 = 0.10 kPa, and P-others = 2.3 kPa, wha
Kay [80]

Answer:

PN₂ = 191.3 Kpa

Explanation:

Given data:

Total pressure of tire = 245.0 Kpa

Partial pressure of PO₂ = 51.3 Kpa

Partial pressure of PCO₂  = 0.10 Kpa

Partial pressure of others =  2.3 Kpa

Partial pressure of PN₂ = ?

Solution:

According to Dalton law of partial pressure,

The total pressure inside container is equal to the sum of partial pressures of individual gases present in container.

Mathematical expression:

P(total) = P₁ + P₂ + P₃+ ............+Pₙ

Now we will solve this  problem by using this law.

P(total) = PO₂ + PCO₂ + P(others)+ PN₂

245 Kpa = 51.3 Kpa + 0.10 Kpa + 2.3 Kpa + PN₂

245 Kpa = 53.7 Kpa+ PN₂

PN₂ = 245 Kpa -  53.7 Kpa

PN₂ = 191.3 Kpa
