It's believed by many that a good way to vandalize a car is to pour sugar (sucrose) in its gas tank. the sugar is believed to di

ssolve in the gasoline, enter the gas lines and then "caramelize" into a gunky texture when combusted. if you wanted to test this theory casually, without jeopardizing anyone's car, which of the solvents used in the experiment would be the best to use?

Answer is: in this experiment it is best to use some liquid alkanes (for example hexane), because gasoline<span> consists of hydrocarbons with between four and twenty carbon atoms</span>. Gasoline is a mixture <span> of many different hydrocarbons: </span><span>alkanes (paraffins), cycloalkanes  and alkenes (olefins).</span>

26. Balance the following equations:<br> Ca(s) + H3PO4(aq)Ca3(PO4)2(s) + H2(g)
yKpoI14uk [10]

Hey there!

Ca + H₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + H₂

Balance PO₄.

1 on the left, 2 on the right. Add a coefficient of 2 in front of H₃PO₄.

Ca + 2H₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + H₂

Balance H.

6 on the left, 2 on the right. Add a coefficient of 3 in front of H₂.

Ca + 2H₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + 3H₂

Balance Ca.

1 on the right, 3 on the right. Add a coefficient of 3 in front of Ca.

3Ca + 2H₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + 3H₂

Our final balanced equation:

3Ca + 2H₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + 3H₂

Hope this helps!

The pressure of an enclosed gas depends on:
Elden [556K]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the last option. The pressure of an enclosed gas depends on the number of molecules in a unit volume and their average kinetic energy, its chemical composition, the altitude about sea level and the number of atoms per molecule. Hope this helps. Have a nice day.

Answer:

Option D. KBr < KCl < NaCl

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole of each sample.

This can be obtained as follow:

For NaCl:

Mass = 1 g

Molar mass of NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5 g/mol

Mole of NaCl =?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

Mole of NaCl = 1/58.5

Mole of NaCl = 0.0171 mole

For Kbr:

Mass = 1 g

Molar mass of KBr = 39 + 80 = 119 g/mol

Mole of KBr =?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

Mole of KBr = 1/119

Mole of KBr = 0.0084 mole

For KCl:

Mass = 1 g

Molar mass of KCl = 39 + 35.5 = 74.5 g/mol

Mole of KCl =?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

Mole of KCl = 1/74.5

Mole of KCl = 0.0134 mole

Summary

Sample >>>>>>>> Number of mole

NaCl >>>>>>>>>> 0.0171

KBr >>>>>>>>>>> 0.0084

KCl >>>>>>>>>>> 0.0134

Arranging the number of mole of the sampl in increasing order, we have:

KBr < KCl < NaCl
