A nursing home is installing their own bulk oxygen system due to their large volume of consumption. OSHA regulation 29 CFR 1910.

104(b)(2)(iii) requires owners of bulk oxygen systems to provide noncombustible surfacing in areas where liquid oxygen might leak during operation of the system or during the filling of a storage container. If the nursing home provides an asphalt surface in areas where oxygen could potentially leak, will it be in compliance with the workplace regulation regarding oxygen? Explain your answer

Answer:

NO! It would be in violation of the workplace regulation regarding oxygen.

Explanation:

Bulk oxygen systems convey liquified oxygen which is of geat use and importance in institutions like a nuirsing home.

Liquified oxygen is gaseos oxygen that has been condensed under high presures into liquid form. It is transported via a complex system of vaporizers, storage tanks and pipes around the facility it is needed. Liquified oxygen is oxygen- rich.

Asphalt is a petroleum derivative that is often used to in coating surfaces and tarring roads.

Its primry constituent is Carbon with minor constitunets like sulphur, nirogen, oxygen. As a petrolem derivative, it is very combustible.

In the event of an oxygen leak on an asphalt surtface, oxygen acting as an oxidizing agent can combine with asphalt in the presence of air, to cause a large fire.

Hence, asphalt surfacing in areas of oxygen leaks, would not be in compliance with the workplace regulation as it has the potential of causing a fire in the nursing home.

If 25.0 g NO are produced, how many grams of nitrogen gas are used?
ivanzaharov [21]

Based on the assumption that the reaction involves N and O to produce NO, if 25.0 g of NO are produced, the amount of N gas used would be 11.66 grams

<h3>Stoichiometric calculation</h3>

From the equation of the reaction:

       N + O ---------> NO

Mole ratio of N to NO is 1:1

Mole of 25.0 g of NO = 25/30.01 = 0.833 moles

Equivalent mole of N = 0.833 moles

Mass of 0.833 moles N = 0.833 x 14 = 11.66 grams

This download is my science worksheet. It's about different types of energy in a situation, like examples. btw this is 7th grade
scoray [572]

All types of energy can be resumed into two basic types of energy which include kinetic energy and potential energy.

<h3>What is kinetic energy?</h3>

Energy is the ability to perform a given work. Kinetic energy is energy in movement, whereas potential energy is stored energy.

For example, plant photosynthesis makes reference to chemical energy (potential energy), popcorn makes reference to thermal energy, etc.

In conclusion, all types of energy can be resumed into two basic types of energy which include kinetic energy and potential energy.

The reaction below shows how silver chloride can be synthesized.
Vesna [10]
AgNO_{3} _{(aq)}  +  NaCl_{(aq)}  ----\ \textgreater \   NaNO_{3} _{(aq)}   +  AgCl _{(aq)}
mole ration of AgCl _{(aq)}  :  AgNO_{3} _{(aq)} =  1 : 1

∴ if moles of  AgNO_{3} _{(aq)} =  15.0 mol
then   "      "     AgCl _{(aq)}  =  15.0 mol

∴  the Option  2 is the answer.

If you know the atomic number and mass number of an atom of an element, how can you determine the number of protons, neutrons, a
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

You subtract the atomic number from the mass number to find the number of neutrons. If the atom is neutral, the number of electrons will be equal to the number of protons.
