PSYCHO15rus [73]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The answer is B

[The extracting solvent should be non-toxic and readily available]

Explanation:

The extracting solvent should not pose a risk to life (or the risk have to be minimum) and be available in large quantity.

A. Most of the extracting solvents are volatile, and is a good think because you can remove them by distillation.

C. The extraction solvent should <u>not</u> react with the solute, because you lose the extracted compound.

D. The extraction solvent should <u>not</u> be miscible with water. Usually you extract compounds organic compounds from water using an appropriate extracting solvent.

A 118-ml flask is evacuated and found to have a mass of 97.129 g. when the flask is filled with 768 torr of helium gas at 35 ?c,
Inessa05 [86]
The full question asks to decide whether the gas was a specific gas. That part is missing in your question. You need to decide whether the gas in the flask is pure helium.

To decide it you can find the molar mass of the gas in the flask, using the ideal gas equation pV = nRT, and then compare with the molar mass of the He.

From pV = nRT you can find n, after that using the mass of gass in the flask you use MM = mass/moles.

1) From pV = nRT, n = pV / RT

Data:
V = 118 ml = 0.118 liter
R = 0.082 atm*liter/mol*K
p = 768 torr * 1 atm / 760 torr = 1.0105 atm
T = 35 + 273.15 = 308.15 K

n = 1.015 atm * 0.118 liter / [ 0.082 atm*liter/K*mol  * 308.15K] =0.00472 mol

mass of gas = mass of the fask with the gas - mass of the flasl evacuated = 97.171 g - 97.129 g = 0.042

=> MM =  mass/n = 0.042 / 0.00472 = 8.90 g/mol

Now from a periodic table or a table you get that the molar mass of He is 4g/mol

So the numbers say that this gas is not pure helium , because its molar mass is more than double of the molar mass of helium gas.

Read the word equation: “Propane gas plus oxygen gas produces __________.”
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Propane gas plus oxygen gas produces water and carbon dioxide.

Explanation:

This is the initial chemical equation: C3H8 + O2 = CO2 + H2O

This is the balanced chemical equation: C3H8 + 5 O2 = 3 CO2 + 4 H2O

Gaseous methane CH4 reacts with gaseous oxygen gas O2 to produce gaseous carbon dioxide CO2 and gaseous water H2O. What is the t
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

50.8 g

Explanation:

Equation of reaction.

CH_4 + 2O_2 \to CO_2 + 2H_2O

From the given information, the number of moles of methane = mass/ molar mass

= 15.4 g /  16.04 g/mol

= 0.960 mol

number of moles of oxygen gas = 90.3 g / 32 g/ mol

= 2.82 mol

Since 1 mol of methane requires 2 moles of oxygen

Then 0.960 mol of methane will require = 0.960 mol × 2 = 1.92 mol of oxygen gas

Thus, methane serves as a limiting reagent.

2.82 mol oxygen gas will result in 2.82 moles of water

So, the theoretical yield of water = moles × molar mass

= 2.82 mol × 18.01528 g/mol

= 50.8 g

How does the chemical formula for water influence its chemical properties?
OLga [1]

The chemical formula is composed of hydrogen and oxygen where the two atoms are bonded through hydrogen bond type of bonding. In this pair, the oxygen is the more electronegative atom hence the electrons are more directed to it. Because of this, this creates electron polarity which affects the chemical property of water.
