Most full scuba tanks have a pressure of between 1,800 p.s.i. and 3,000 p.s.i. (pounds per square inch). Approximately 70 to 85

cubic feet of air has been squeezed into the tank. When a diver takes his air tank to be refilled, the dive shop will hook his tank to a compressor with a pressure hose and place his tank in a tub of water while it is being filled. What reasons can you give for placing the tank in water?

Answer: The Diver's air tank is filled with oxygen gas.

The filling of air tank while keeping in water can be explained in reference to the Charles' Law.

Charles' Law: It states that the volume of the ideal gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature at constant pressure.

                        V\propto T    (at constant Pressure)

The Scuba tank contains cold water and is present at high pressure. The gas which is put in the tank will be compact and would not expand. As the temperature is low inside the tank, hence by using Charles' Law, the volume will also decrease inside the tank.

When the air tank is filled, it is always kept in a tub of water because the pressure is high and hence, more oxygen gas can be filled inside the air tank.

<span>I would think that because water has a high specific heat, the water in the tank must be cold. Because the scuba tank is at high pressure, and the water is cold, the gas put into the tank will be more compact, and will not expand. According to Charles' law, as temperature increases, volume increases and because in this situation temperature is decreasing, volume will decrease. It would be great to keep the tank into the water because under these conditions, you can store more oxygen into the tank per square inch.

I hope this helps:)</span>

The theoretical yield of 1,2-epoxycyclohexane is _______________ grams, when starting with 3.0 grams of trans-2-bromocyclohexano
Amanda [17]

Answer:

1.64g

Explanation:

The reaction scheme is given as;

2-bromocyclohexanol  --> 1,2-epoxycyclohexane + HBr

From the reaction above,

1 mol of 2-bromocyclohexanol produces 1 mol of 1,2-epoxycyclohexane

3.0 grams of trans-2-bromocyclohexanol.

Molar mass = 179.05 g/mol

Number of moles = mass / molar mass = 3 / 179.05 = 0.016755 mol

This means  0.016755 mol of 1,2-epoxycyclohexane would be produced.

Molar mass =  98.143 g/mol

Theoretical  yield = Number of moles * Molar mass

Theoretical  yield =  0.016755 * 98.143 ≈ 1.64g

Nitella [24]
The answer is (4). You may recall the term "radiometric dating," which refers to the dating of old artifacts by measuring proportions of certain radioactive isotopes they contain and making calculations based on their estimated half-lives. Geological formations are dated in this way.

Why do we have to balance chemical equations
Lunna [17]

Answer:

  • <em>Chemical equations are balanced </em><u>to comply with the law of conservation of mass.</u>

Explanation:

Law of conservation of mass states that matter cannot be either created or destroyed.

A skeleton chemical equation shows the reactants and products of a chemical reaction without taking into account the real proportion in which the reactants combine and the products are obtained.

An example of a skeleton reaction is the combustion of methane:

  •    CH₄ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O

Such as that equation is shown, there are four atoms of hydrogen in the reactants but only 2 atoms of hydrogen in the products. Also, there are 2 atoms of oxygen in the reactants but three atoms of oxygen in the products. This seems to show that some atoms of hydrogen have been destroyed and some atoms of oxygen have been created. This is impossible as it is against the law of conservation of matter.

Then, to show a real situation, the chemical equation of combustion must be balanced, adjusting the coefficients. This is the balanced chemical equation:

  •    CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O

Now you see that the number of atoms of each matter is conserved: the number of carbon atoms in each side is 1, the number of atoms of hydrogen in each side is 4, and the number of atoms of oxygen in each side is 4. Thus, by balancing the chemical equation, the law of conservation of mass is not violated.
