Answer:

Hydrogen peroxide is a very pale blue liquid at room temperature. A French scientist called Louis Auguste Thenard discovered the compound in 1818. Hydrogen peroxide can easily break down, or decompose, into water and oxygen by breaking up into two very reactive parts – either 2OHs or an H and HO2:

For the reaction 2NOCl(g) <-----> 2NO(g) + Cl2(g), Kc = 8.0 at a certain temperature. What concentration of NOCl must be p

Nat2105 [25]

Answer is: concentration of NOCl is 3.52 M.

Balanced chemical reaction: 2NOCl(g) ⇄ 2NO(g) + Cl₂(g).
Kc = 8.0.
[NOCl] = 1.00 M; equilibrium concentration.
[NO] = x.
[Cl₂] = x/2; equilibrium concentration of chlorine.
Kc = [Cl₂] ·[NO]² / [NOCl].
8.00 = x/2 · x² / 1.
x³/2 = 8.
x = ∛16.
x = 2.52 M.
co(NOCl) = [NOCl] + x.
co(NOCl) = 1.00 M + 2.52 M.
co(NOCl) = 3.52 M; the initial concentration of NOCl.

A 2.00-g sample of a large biomolecule was dissolved in 15.0 g carbon tetrachloride. the boiling point of this solution was dete

Katarina [22]

We will use boiling point formula:

ΔT = i Kb m

when ΔT is the temperature change from the pure solvent's boiling point to the boiling point of the solution = 77.85 °C - 76.5 °C = 1.35

and Kb is the boiling point constant =5.03

and m = molality

i = vant's Hoff factor

so by substitution, we can get the molality:

1.35 = 1 * 5.03 * m

∴ m = 0.27

when molality = moles / mass Kg

0.27 = moles / 0.015Kg

∴ moles = 0.00405 moles

∴ The molar mass = mass / moles
= 2 g / 0.00405 moles
= 493.8 g /mol

Where the oxygen comes from the air (21% O2 and 79% N2). If oxygen is fed from air in excess of the stoichiometric amount requir

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

$y_{O2} =4.3$ %

Explanation:

The ethanol combustion reaction is:

$C_{2}H_{5} OH+3O_{2}$ → $2CO_{2}+3H_{2}O$

If we had the amount (x moles) of ethanol, we would calculate the oxygen moles required:

$x*1.10(excess)*\frac{3 O_{2}moles }{etOHmole}$

Dividing the previous equation by x:

$1.10(excess)*\frac{3 O_{2}moles}{etOHmole}=3.30\frac{O_{2}moles}{etOHmole}$

We would need 3.30 oxygen moles per ethanol mole.

Then we apply the composition relation between O2 and N2 in the feed air:

$3.30(O_{2} moles)*\frac{0.79(N_{2} moles)}{0.21(O_{2} moles)}=121.414 (N_{2} moles )$

Then calculate the oxygen moles number leaving the reactor, considering that 0.85 ethanol moles react and the stoichiometry of the reaction:

$3.30(O_{2} moles)-0.85(etOHmoles)*\frac{3(O_{2} moles)}{1(etOHmoles)} =0.75O_{2} moles$

Calculate the number of moles of CO2 and water considering the same:

$0.85(etOHmoles)*\frac{3(H_{2}Omoles)}{1(etOHmoles)}=2.55(H_{2}Omoles)$

$0.85(etOHmoles)*\frac{2(CO_{2}moles)}{1(etOHmoles)}=1.7(CO_{2}moles)$

The total number of moles at the reactor output would be:

$N=1.7(CO2)+12.414(N2)+2.55(H2O)+0.75(O2)\\ N=17.414(Dry-air-moles)$

So, the oxygen mole fraction would be:

$y_{O_{2}}=\frac{0.75}{17.414}=0.0430=4.3$ %

Answer: X3Y2

Explanation:

The formula is

X has a valency of 2

Y has a valency of 3

So, we interchange the valencies

Therefore, the formula is

Explain briefly the function of friction ridges on our palm and finger.

likoan [24]

The friction aids in grasping and walking. The friction ridge skin also contains numerous sweat glands, and the pore openings are located along the tops of the ridges. The friction ridge skin does not contain sebaceous (oil) glands or hair follicles.
