Answer : The ages of the brother and sister are, 10 and 16 years respectively.

Solution :

Let the age of brother be 'x' and the age of sister be 'y'

There are two equations formed which are,

x + y = 26      ..........(1)

3y - 4x = 8     ..........(2)

First we have to multiple equation (1) by 4 and then added equation (1) and (2), we get the value of 'y'.

4x+4y+3y-4x=8+26\\\\7y=112\\\\y=16

Now put the value of 'y' in equation (2), we get the value of 'x'

3(16) - 4x = 8

4x = 40

x = 10

The age of brother = x = 10 years

The age of sister = y = 16 years

Therefore, the ages of the brother and sister are, 10 and 16 years respectively.

The heats of combustion of ethane (C2H6) and butane (C4H10) are 52 kJ/g and 49 kJ/g, respectively. We need to produce 1.000 x 10
LekaFEV [45]

Answer :

(1) The number of grams needed of each fuel (C_2H_6)\text{ and }(C_4H_{10}) are 19.23 g and 20.41 g respectively.

(2) The number of moles of each fuel (C_2H_6)\text{ and }(C_4H_{10}) are 0.641 moles and 0.352 moles respectively.

(3) The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of the fuels.

C_2H_6+\frac{7}{2}O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2+3H_2O

C_4H_{10}+\frac{13}{2}O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+5H_2O

(4) The number of moles of CO_2 produced by burning each fuel is 1.28 mole and 1.41 mole respectively.

The fuel that emitting least amount of CO_2 is C_2H_6

Explanation :

<u>Part 1 :</u>

First we have to calculate the number of grams needed of each fuel (C_2H_6)\text{ and }(C_4H_{10}).

As, 52 kJ energy required amount of C_2H_6 = 1 g

So, 1000 kJ energy required amount of C_2H_6 = \frac{1000}{52}=19.23g

and,

As, 49 kJ energy required amount of C_4H_{10} = 1 g

So, 1000 kJ energy required amount of C_4H_{10} = \frac{1000}{49}=20.41g

<u>Part 2 :</u>

Now we have to calculate the number of moles of each fuel (C_2H_6)\text{ and }(C_4H_{10}).

Molar mass of C_2H_6 = 30 g/mole

Molar mass of C_4H_{10} = 58 g/mole

\text{ Moles of }C_2H_6=\frac{\text{ Mass of }C_2H_6}{\text{ Molar mass of }C_2H_6}=\frac{19.23g}{30g/mole}=0.641moles

and,

\text{ Moles of }C_4H_{10}=\frac{\text{ Mass of }C_4H_{10}}{\text{ Molar mass of }C_4H_{10}}=\frac{20.41g}{58g/mole}=0.352moles

<u>Part 3 :</u>

Now we have to write down the balanced chemical equation for the combustion of the fuels.

The balanced chemical reaction for combustion of C_2H_6 is:

C_2H_6+\frac{7}{2}O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2+3H_2O

and,

The balanced chemical reaction for combustion of C_4H_{10} is:

C_4H_{10}+\frac{13}{2}O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+5H_2O

<u>Part 4 :</u>

Now we have to calculate the number of moles of CO_2 produced by burning each fuel to produce 1000 kJ.

C_2H_6+\frac{7}{2}O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2+3H_2O

From this we conclude that,

As, 1 mole of C_2H_6 react to produce 2 moles of CO_2

As, 0.641 mole of C_2H_6 react to produce 0.641\times 2=1.28 moles of CO_2

and,

C_4H_{10}+\frac{13}{2}O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+5H_2O

From this we conclude that,

As, 1 mole of C_4H_{10} react to produce 4 moles of CO_2

As, 0.352 mole of C_4H_{10} react to produce 0.352\times 4=1.41 moles of CO_2

So, the fuel that emitting least amount of CO_2 is C_2H_6

A force of 100 newtons is applied to a box at an angle of 36º with the horizontal. If the mass of the box is 25 kilograms, what
notka56 [123]

Answer:

a_x=4.944m/s^2

Explanation:

Hello,

Based on the acting force that is applied horizontally, one can propose the following equation based on Newton's laws:

F=ma

Nevertheless, since we've got a angled force, it becomes:

F=macos\theta

In this case, cos\theta accounts for the formed angle, so the horizontal acceleration turns out into:

a_x=\frac{F}{mcos\theta}=\frac{100kg*\frac{m}{s^2} }{25kgcos(36^0)}=4.944m/s^2

Best regads.

Explain what the kinetic theory of matter states. Which state of matter has the LEAST kinetic energy and which state of matter h
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer: Solid

Solid particles have the least amount of energy, and gas particles have the greatest amount of energy. The temperature of a substance is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles. A change in phase may occur when the energy of the particles is changed. There are spaces between particles of matter.
