You need a 30% alcohol solution. On hand, you have a 200 mL of a 10% alcohol mixture. You also have 55% alcohol mixture. How muc
Art [367]

Answer: 160 ml

Explanation:

The expression used will be :

C_1V_1+C_2V_2=C_3V_3

where,

C_1 = concentration of Ist alcohol solution= 10%

C_2 = concentration of 2nd alcohol solution= 55%

V_1 = volume of Ist alcohol solution = 200 ml

V_2 = volume of  2nd alcohol solution= v ml

C_3 = concentration of resulting alcohol solution= 30%

V_2 = volume of resulting alcohol solution= (v+200) ml

Now put all the given values in the above law, we get the volume of added.

(10\times 200)+(55\times v)=(30\times (v+200)ml)

By solving the terms, we get :

v=160ml

Therefore, the volume of 55% mixture  needed to be added to obtain the desired solution is 160 ml.

A 17g sample of H2O2 was decomposed to yield 1g of H2 and 16g of O2 An unknown sample containing only H and O was decomposed to
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Explanation:

Our H_2O_2 sample yielded 1g of H_2 and 16g of O_2, but our unknown sample yielded 2 times as much H_2  for the same amount of O_2.

What does this mean? that the H:O proportion for the unknown sample is twice the H:O proportion for the H_2O_2 sample.

What is the  H:O proportion for the H_2O_2 sample? As we can see from its formula, it's 1:1, therefore the proportion for the unknown formula must be 2:1.

That means, two H atoms for every O atom. We could write that as: H_2O and you should recognize that formula, for it is one of the most common compounds on earth, Water.

Carbon monoxide reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide by the following reaction: 2 CO(g) + O2(g) → 2 CO2(g) ∆H for this reac
klio [65]

Answer:

Heat released =811.68kcal

Explanation:

2 CO(g) + O2(g) → 2 CO2(g)                 ΔH=-135.28kcal

for this type of question 1st balance the chemical reaction and use unitry method.

From the above balanced equaion it is clearly that,

2 mole of CO reacts with 1 mole of O2 and we have sufficient amount of oxygen means excess amount.

and also for complete consumption of 2 mole of CO, ΔH=-135.28 kcal

for complete consumption of 12 moles of CO2 ΔH=6\times (-135.28kcal)

Heat released =811.68kcal
