Answer:

Nitrogen: Non- metal = they are poor conductors of heat and electricity, they are brittle solids, not ductile in their solid state - they cannot be rolled into wires or pounded into sheets. They are usually dull and therefore show no metallic luster and they do not reflect light. They also have a low density.

Aluminium: Metal= Offers a rare combination of valuable properties. It is one of the lightest metals in the world: it's almost three times lighter than iron but it's also very strong, extremely flexible and corrosion resistant because its surface is always covered in an extremely thin and yet very strong layer of oxide film. It doesn't magnetise, it's a great electricity conductor and forms alloys with practically all other metals.

Air at 293 K and 750 mm Hg pressure has a relative humidity of 80%. What is its percent humidity? The vapour pressure of water a

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer : The correct option is, (c) 79.62

Explanation :

The formula used for percent humidity is:

$\text{Percent humidity}=\text{Relative humidity}\times \frac{p-p^o_v}{p-p_v}\times 100$ ..........(1)

The formula used for relative humidity is:

$\text{Relative humidity}=\frac{p_v}{p^o_v}$ ...........(2)

where,

$p_v$ = partial pressure of water vapor

$p^o_v$ = vapor pressure of water

p = total pressure

First we have to calculate the partial pressure of water vapor by using equation 2.

Given:

$p=750mmHg$

$p^o_v=17.5mmHg$

Relative humidity = 80 % = 0.80

Now put all the given values in equation 2, we get:

$0.80=\frac{p_v}{17.5mmHg}$

$p_v=14mmHg$

Now we have to calculate the percent humidity by using equation 1.

$\text{Percent humidity}=0.80\times \frac{750-17.5}{750-14}\times 100$

$\text{Percent humidity}=79.62\%$

Therefore, the percent humidity is 79.62 %

C) If 0.66 mole of iron (III) oxide were produced from the reaction, that must mean that how many mole

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

If there is 0.66 moles of iron(III)oxide produced, there reacte 0.99 moles of oxygen (O2)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Number of moles iron (III) oxide (Fe2O3) = 0.66 moles

Step 2: The balanced equation

4Fe + 3O2 → 2Fe2O3

Step 3: Calculate moles of oxygen (O2)

For 4 moles Fe consumed, we need 3 moles of O2 to produce 2 moles of Fe2O3

For 0.66 moles Fe2O3 produced, we need 3/2 * 0.66 = 0.99 moles of O2

If there is 0.66 moles of iron(III)oxide produced, there reacte 0.99 moles of oxygen (O2)
