Why is one able to walk on red-hot coals without getting one’s feet burned?

Chemistry

Hunter-Best [27]3 years ago

Before the person walks through burning coal, the person will make sure their feet are very wet. When they start walking on the coal, the moisture will evaporate and form a protective gas layer underneath the person's feet.

You can see examples of this if you happen to drip some water on a hot stove or any hot surface. The water will easily glide around on top of a newly formed layer of air underneath it, like air hockey pucks on an air hockey table.

What volume of 1.00 m hcl in liters is needed to react completely (with nothing left over) with 0.750 l of 0.100 m na2co3?
kotykmax [81]
The balanced equation for the reaction is as follows
Na₂CO₃ + 2HCl --> 2NaCl + CO₂ + H₂O
stoichiometry of Na₂CO₃ to HCl is 1:2
number of Na₂CO₃ moles reacted = molarity x volume
number of Na₂CO₃ moles = 0.100 mol/L x 0.750 L = 0.0750 mol 
according to molar ratio of 1:2
1 mol of Na₂CO₃ reacts with 2 mol of HCl
then 0.0750 mol of Na₂CO₃ mol reacts with - 2 x 0.0750 = 0.150 mol 
molarity of given HCl solution is 1.00 mol/L
molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute in 1 L of solution 
there are 1.00 mol in 1 L of solution 
therefore there are 0.150 mol in - 0.150 mol / 1.00 mol/L = 0.150 L 
volume of HCl required is 0.150 L

9. How many grams of potassium sulfate are needed to make 250 mL of a 0.150 M
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

6.53g of K₂SO₄

Explanation:

Formula of the compound is K₂SO₄

Given parameters:

Volume of K₂SO₄ = 250mL = 250 x 10⁻³L

= 0.25L

Concentration of K₂SO₄ = 0.15M or 0. 15mol/L

Unknown:

Mass of K₂SO₄ =?

Methods:

We use the mole concept to solve this kind of problem.

>>First, we find the number of moles using the expression below:

Number of moles= concentration x volume

Solving for number of moles:

Number of moles = 0.25 x 01.5

= 0.0375mole

>>Secondly, we use the number of moles to find the mass of K₂SO₄ needed. This can be obtained using the expression below:

Mass(g) = number of moles x molar mass

Solving:

To find the molar mass of K₂SO₄, we must know the atomic mass of each element in the compound. This can be obtained using the periodic table.

For:

K = 39g

S = 32g

O = 16g

Molar mass of K₂SO₄ = (39x2) + 32 + (16x4)

= 78 +32 + 64

= 174g/mol

Using the expression:

Mass(g) = number of moles x molar mass

Mass of K₂SO₄ = 0.0375 x 174 = 6.53g
