Explanation:

Because of non-reactive properties of the inert gases, these gases are useful to prevent the undesirable chemical reactions to happen.

They provide a non-explosive environment. They are also cheap and economical.

Food is packed in the inert gas to prevent rancidity. This also prevents bacteria from growing.

The gases prevents the chemical oxidation by the oxygen in the normal air.

Helium is used in oxygen cylinders and also as a coolant in gas cooled reactors.

In the article, Invasion of the Periodical Cicadas, why do scienctists believe that cicadas only reproduce every 13 or 17 years?

frez [133]

Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. However, I assumed you are referring to the article found on the Scientific American website.

Explanation:

Remember, according to that article we are told that scientists notice that these insects have a long nymphal (immature form before becoming adults) stage, one that can last up to 13 to 17 years on the ground before they leave the ground looking for mating partners.

Because it is only after mating occurs at this point that their eggs are laid, that is why scientists believe that cicadas only reproduce every 13 or 17 years.

The thermite reaction reacts iron (III) oxide, Fe2O3, with aluminium powder,Al, the form aluminium oxide, Al2O3 and iron, Fe.

lara [203]

Answer:

This answer assumes that the strated "16.0g of iron" was meant to be 16.0 grams of iron(III) oxide.

Explanation:

To start, the thermite equation must be balanced.

I find:

1Fe2O3 + 2Al = 1Al2O3 + 2Fe

This tells us we need 2 moles of Al for every 1 mole of Fe2O3.

Now calculate the moles of each reactant:

Moles Fe2O3: 16.0 g/159.7 g/mole = 0.100 moles Fe2O3

Moles Al: 8.1 /26.98 g/mole = 0.300 moles Al

The balanced equation says that in order to react all of the Fe2O3 we'd need twice that amount (in moles) of the Al. (0.100 moles Fe2O3)*(2) = 0.200 moles Al.

Which of the two reactants is the limiting reagent?

We have more than enough moles of Al to react with 0.10 moles of Fe2O3. (We have 0.300 moles Al and all we need is 0.200 moles to react with the 0.10 moles of Fe2O3. Fe2O3 is the limiting reagent.

Calculate the maximum mass of iron of iron that could be formed using these quantities of reactants.

The balanced equation tells us that we will obtain 2 moles of Fe for every 1 mole of Fe2O3 consumed. Since Fe2O3 is the limiting reagent, we will assume that it completely reacts. That means 0.1 moles of Fe2O3 is reacted. Since we expect twice that many moles of Fe, we should obtain 0.200 moles of Fe. At 55.85 g/mole, we should obtain:

(0.200 moles Fe)*(55.85 g Fe/mole Fe) = 11.2 grams Fe

What is one major purpose for an animal to produce unusual sounds, display bright

bezimeni [28]

I would say courtship, we this is when an animal would be looking for a mate. They would want to make themselves different and bright colors could attract a possible mate for them. I hope this helps!
