Answer:

36.92 mg of oxygen required for bio-degradation.

Explanation:

5C_6H_6+15O_2\rightarrow 12CO_2+15H_2O

Mass of benzene = 30 mg = 0.03 g (1000 mg = 1 g )

Moles benzene =\frac{0.03 g}{78 g/mol}=0.0003846 mol

According to reaction 5 moles of benzene reacts with 15 moles of oxygen gas.

Then 0.0003846 mol of benzene will react with:

\frac{15}{5}\times 0.0003846 mol=0.0011538 mol of oxygen gas

Mass of 0.0011538 moles of oxygen gas:

0.0011538 mol × 32 g/mol = 0.03692 g = 36.92 mg

36.92 mg of oxygen required for bio-degradation.

What happens on a molecular level when a diatomic molecule is a gas but is then cooled to a solid?
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

As an example of the processes depicted in this figure, consider a sample of water. When gaseous water is cooled sufficiently, the attractions between H2O molecules will be capable of holding them together when they come into contact with each other; the gas condenses, forming liquid H2O. For example, liquid water forms on the outside of a cold glass as the water vapor in the air is cooled by the cold glass.

Hopefully that helps!

Identify each of the following half-reactions as either an oxidation half-reaction or a reduction half-reaction.
koban [17]

Answer:

Cu+(aq)--->Cu2+(aq) + e- : oxidation

reason: there is loss of electrons.

I2(s) + 2e--->2I-(aq) : reduction

reason: There is reduction of electrons.
