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>

2.56 g of hydrogen reacts completely with 20.32 g of oxygen<br> to form X g of water. X = g
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

Mass of water produced is 22.86 g.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of hydrogen = 2.56 g

Mass of oxygen = 20.32 g

Mass of water = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2H₂ + O₂   →  2H₂O

Number of moles of oxygen:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 20.32 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.635 mol

Number of moles of hydrogen:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 2.56 g/ 2 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.28 mol

Now we will compare the moles of water with oxygen and hydrogen.

                    O₂            :            H₂O

                     1              :             2

                  0.635        ;            2×0.635 =  1.27

                   H₂             :              H₂O

                    2              :              2

                 1.28            :           1.28

The number of  moles of water produced by oxygen are less thus it will be limiting reactant.

Mass of water produced:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 1.27 × 18 g/mol

Mass = 22.86 g

Identify the change in state that does not have an increase in entropy. a. Water evaporating b. Dry ice subliming c. Water boili
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

E. Water Freezing

Explanation:

Entropy refers to the degree of disorderliness of a system.  

A. Water Evaporating: There is an increase in entropy, this is because the phase change is from liquid to gas. Gas particles are more disordered than liquid.

B. Dry Ice sublimating: Sublimating refers to a phase change from solid to gas. This is an increase in entropy, this is because the gas particles are more disordered than solid particles

C. Water Boiling: The phase change is from liquid to gaseous state. There is an increase in entropy. Gas particles are more disordered than liquid.

D. Ice melting: The phase change is from solid to liquid state. There is an increase in entropy. Liquid particles are more disordered than that of solid.

E. Water Freezing: The phase change is from liquid to solid state. There is a decrease in entropy. solid particles are less disordered than those of liquid.
