Calculate the amount of CO2 (in kg) released when 1 kg of coal is burned. Assume that carbon content of the coal is 50% by mass.

Delvig [45]3 years ago

Answer:

1.8321 kg

Explanation:

The given 1 kg of coal contains 50% of the carbon atom by mass. Thus, mass of carbon in coal is \frac {50}{100}\times 1\ kg=0.5\ kg

Also, 1 kg = 1000 g

So, mass of carbon = 500 g

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Molar mass of carbon = 12.0107 g/mol

Moles of methanol = 500 g / 12.0107 g/mol = 41.6295 moles

Considering the reaction:

C+O_2\rightarrow CO_2

From the reaction,

1 mole of C react to form 1 mole of CO_2

So,

41.6295 moles of C react to form 41.6295 moles of CO_2

Moles of CO_2 = 41.6295 moles

Molar mass of CO_2 = 44.01 g/mol

So, Mass = Moles × Molar mass = 41.6295 moles × 44.01 g/mol = 1832.1143 g

Also, 1g = 0.001 kg

<u>So, amount of CO_2 released = 1.8321 kg</u>

At 0 degrees Celsius, a gas occupies 22.4L. How hot must the gas be in celcius to reach a volume of 25.0L
NikAS [45]

Answer:

31.7 °C

Explanation:

Charles law states that for volume of a gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature for a fixed amount of gas at constant pressure

we can use the following equation

V1/T1 = V2/T2

where V1 is volume and T1 is temperature at first instance

V2 is volume and T2 is temperature at second instance

temperature should be in kelvin scale

T1 - 0 °C + 273 = 273 K

substituting the values in the equation

22.4 L / 273 K = 25.0 L / T2

T2 = 304.7 K

temperature in celcius is - 304.7 K - 273 = 31.7 °C

the gas must be 31.7 °C to reach a volume of 25.0 L

2. What pressure is required to compress 196.0 L of air at 1.00 atmosphere into a cylinder
damaskus [11]

Answer:

<h2>7.54 atm </h2>

Explanation:

The required pressure can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is

P_2 =  \frac{P_1V_1}{V_2}  \\

where

P1 is the initial pressure

P2 is the final pressure

V1 is the initial volume

V2 is the final volume

From the question we have

P_2 =  \frac{1 \times 196}{26}  =  \frac{196}{26}   \\ = 7.538461...

We have the final answer as

<h3>7.54 atm </h3>

Hope this helps you

Bob adds heat to a substance. When enough heat is added, A. its particles move closer together and the substance becomes a gas.
Elena L [17]

Answer:

C. its particles move farther apart and the substance becomes a gas.

Explanation:

A. is wrong because moving closer together creates a solid, not a gas.

B. is wrong because moving father apart creates a gas, not solid.

C. is correct because moving farther apart creates a gas.

D. is wrong because when heat is added particles spread apart because they vibrate faster. Although, in a solid the particles are closer together.

- Just know the states of matter and how the particles move and that will help with this problem.
