A backpacker carries 2.7 L of white gas as fuel for her stove.How many pounds does the fuel add to her load? Assume the density

of white gas to be 0.79 g/cm

2.7 L in cm³ :

2.7 * 1000 = 2700 cm³

Weight = Volume * Density

2700 * 0.79 = 2133 g

1 Ibs = <span>453.59 g

2133 / 453.59 = 4.70 Ibs

hope this helps!</span>

-how dose photosynthesis work on animals and what is it called.

Andreas93 [3]

Explanation:

carbon dioxide is it gas that is present in the air plants collect carbon dioxide through tiny holes called Stomates. during the process of photosynthesis, Stomates are also used to expel a gas called oxygen. Oxygen is very important for animals like human -- we need it to breathe !

Zinc Sulfide reacts with oxygen according to the reaction:

zhuklara [117]

The amount in moles of the excess reactant left is 0.5 mole

<h3>Balanced equation</h3>

2ZnS (s) + 3O₂(g) --> 2ZnO (s) + 2SO₂(g)

From the balanced equation,

2 moles of ZnS reacted with 3 moles of O₂

<h3>How to determine the excess reactant</h3>

From the balanced equation,

2 moles of ZnS reacted with 3 moles of O₂

Therefore,

4.2 moles of ZnS will react with =(4.2 × 3) / 2 = 6.3 moles of O₂

From the calculations made above, we can see that only 6.3 moles of O₂ out of 6.8 moles given, is required to react completely with 4.2 moles of ZnS.

Thus, ZnS is the limiting reactant and O₂ is the excess reactant.

<h3> How to determine the mole of the excess reactant remaining</h3>

The excess reactant is O₂. Thus the mole remaining after the reaction can be obtained as illustrated below:

Mole of O₂ given = 6.8 moles
Mole of O₂ that reacted = 6.3 moles
Mole of O₂ remaining =?

Mole of O₂ remaining = (Mole of O₂ given) - (Mole of O₂ that reacted)

Mole of O₂ remaining = 6.8 - 6.3

Mole of O₂ remaining = 0.5 mole

What mass of potassium hypochlorite (FW-90.6 g/mol) must be added to 4.50 x 10 mL of water to give a solution with pH 10.20? [Ka

marta [7]

Answer : The mass of potassium hypochlorite is, 4.1 grams.

Explanation : Given,

pH = 10.20

Volume of water = $4.50\times 10^2ml=0.45L$

The decomposition of KClO will be :

$KClO\rightarrow K^++ClO^-$

Now the further reaction with water $(H_2O)$ to give,

$ClO^-+H_2O\rightarrow HClO+OH^-$

First we have to calculate the pOH.

$pH+pOH=14\\\\pOH=14-pH\\\\pOH=14-10.20=3.8$

Now we have to calculate the $OH^-$ concentration.

$pOH=-\log [OH^-]$

$3.8=-\log [OH^-]$

$[OH^-]=1.58\times 10^{-4}M$

Now we have to calculate the base dissociation constant.

Formula used : $K_b=\frac{K_w}{K_a}$

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get :

$K_b=\frac{1.0\times 10^{-14}}{4.0\times 10^{-8}}=2.5\times 10^{-7}$

Now we have to calculate the concentration of $ClO^-$ .

The equilibrium constant expression of the reaction is:

$K_b=\frac{[OH^-][HClO]}{[ClO^-]}$

As we know that, $[OH^-]=[HClO]=1.58\times 10^{-4}M$

$2.5\times 10^{-7}=\frac{(1.58\times 10^{-4})^2}{[ClO^-]}$

$[ClO^-]=0.0999M$

Now we have to calculate the moles of $ClO^-$ .

$\text{Moles of }ClO^-=\text{Molarity of }ClO^-\times \text{Volume of solution}$

$\text{Moles of }ClO^-=0.0999mole/L\times 0.45L=0.0449mole$

As we know that, the number of moles of $ClO^-$ are equal to the number of moles of KClO.

So, the number of moles of KClO = 0.0449 mole

Now we have to calculate the mass of KClO.

$\text{Mass of }KClO=\text{Moles of }KClO\times \text{Molar mass of }KClO$

$\text{Mass of }KClO=0.0449mole\times 90.6g/mole=4.07g\approx 4.1g$

Therefore, the mass of potassium hypochlorite is, 4.1 grams.

A chemist wants to make 6.5 L of a 0.340 M CaCl2 solution. Part A What mass of CaCl2 (in g) should the chemist use? Express your

katovenus [111]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 245 grams

Explanation:

Data

Volume 6.5 L

Molarity = 0.34

mass of CaCl₂ = ?

Process

1.- Calculate the molar mass of CaCl₂

molar mass = (1 x 40) + (2 x 35.5)

= 40 + 71

= 111 g

2.- Convert the grams to moles

111 g of CaCl₂ -------------- 1 mol

x ---------------0.34 mol

x = (0.34 x 111) / 1

x = 37.74 g

3.- Calculate the total mass

37.74 g ------------------ 1 L

x ------------------ 6.5 L

x = (6.5 x 37.74) / 1

x = 245.31
