julsineya [31]3 years ago
5 0

Crystalline silica is hazardous when small particles are inhaled. They can penetrate deep into the lungs and cause disabling and sometimes fatal lung diseases including silicosis, lung cancer and kidney disease. The particles of crystalline silica enters the lungs and causes the formation of scar tissue known as silicosis, thus reducing the lungs’ ability to take in oxygen.

How many liters of h2 gas, collected over water at an atmospheric pressure of 752 mm hg and a temperature of 21.0°c, can be made
natta225 [31]
Answer:  
The balanced equation tells us that 1 mole of Zn will produce 1 mole of H2.  
1.566 g Zn x (1 mole Zn / 65.38 g Zn) = 0.02395 moles Zn  
0.02395 moles Zn x (1 mole H2 / 1 mole Zn) = 0.02395 moles H2 produced  
Now use the ideal gas law to find the volume V.  
P = 733 mmHg x (1 atm / 760 atm) = 0.964 atm  
T = 21 C + 273 = 294 K  
PV = nRT 
V = nRT/ P = (0.02395 moles H2)(0.0821 L atm / K mole)(294 K) / (0.964 atm) = 0.600 L

Why are hydrogen bonds important for the properties of water?
zavuch27 [327]
Water has the special type of attraction called Hydrogen bonding.  The bonds between the Hydrogen and the Oxygen in each water molecule make a super dipole because the Oxygen atom is way more electronegative than the hydrogen atom.  These OH bonds can then be attracted to other H2O molecules.  If you have ever poured water up to the brim and there is  little bit of water that is poking above the top, hydrogen bonding keeps those water molecules from spilling

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

1.38 atm

Explanation:

Partial pressure of a gas = total pressure × mole fraction of that gas.

Mole fraction of a gas is moles of a gas ÷ total moles of all gases.
