How do properties, such as Density, help us to classify and identify matter?

Chemistry

kumpel [21]3 years ago

Density can be defined in terms of the mass of a substance present in a certain volume.

i.e. Density = Mass/ volume

It helps classify and identify matter due to the following reasons:

1) Density is an intensive property. For a given substance the density will remain the same irrespective of the amount in which it is present.

For example: The density of Aluminum (Al) = 2.7 g/cm3. This value is a constant at a certain temperature and pressure. Therefore, the density will remain the same for 1 kilogram or 1 mg of Al

2) Different elements/compounds have different values of densities which is characteristic of that substance

The production of NOx gases is an unwanted side reaction of the main engine combustion process that turns octane, C8H18, into CO
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

710,33 g NO2

Explanation:

2 C8H18 + 25 O2 → 16 CO2 + 18 H2O  

(800 g octane) / (114.2293 g C8H18/mol x (25/2)) = 87.54 mol O2 used to combust the octane

87.54 mol O2 x \frac{15}{85} = 15.44 mol O2 used to form NO2

O2 + 2NO → 2NO2

(15.44 mol O2) x (2/2) x (46.0056 g NO2/mol) = 710,33 g NO2

How can toxicant absorption be reduced after exposure to the skin? How can absorption be reduced for orally consumed chemicals?
zmey [24]

Answer:

The toxicant absorbtion can be reduced after exposure to the skin the surrounding clothing shoes or gloves should be removed or torn off than the part of the body which was exposured to the toxicant should be immediatly washed using clean running water for a while, with cold shower being the most recommended splashing method. In case of absorption for orally consumed chemicals should check on any remaining toxicant residue and be removed from the mouth. Vomiting should be induced to patients that are still conscious by providing them with liquids that can provoke vomiting. This will help in removing the toxicant in the intestinal and reduce their effect. Gastric lavage should then be done to induce diarrhea.
