Answer: Hypothesis

Explanation: Hypothesis is a kind of idea that has been put forward prior to experimentation and whose results are not out yet.

The laws makes the theory then there are some rules which are needed to be followed in order to make the most out of the experiments. Then prior to the experiments , there comes the hypothesis whis the explanation of the work and which would be tested through the experiments.

Answer:

A sample of a gas (5.0 mol) at 1.0 atm is expanded at constant temperature from 10 L to 15 L. The final pressure is 0.67 atm.

Step by Step Explanation?

Boyle's law states that in constant temperature the variation volume of gas is inversely proportional to the applied pressure.

The formula is,

P₁ x V₁ = P₂ × V₂

Where,

P₁ is initial pressure = 1 atm

P2 is final pressure = ? (Not Known)

V₁ is initial volume = 10 L

V₂ is final volume = 15 L

Now put the values in the formula,

\begin{gathered}\rm 1\times 10 = P_2\times 15\\\\\rm P_2 = \frac{10}{15\\} \\\\\rm P_2 = 0.67\end{gathered]

Therefore, the answer is 0.67 atm.

(C6H6) can be biodegraded by microorganism. if 30 mg of benzene is present, what amount of oxygen required for biodegradation, n

quester [9]

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.

One way of obtaining pure sodium carbonate is through the decomposition of the mineral trona, Na3(CO3)(HCO3)·2H2O. 2Na3(CO3)(HCO

zhenek [66]

Percentage yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) x 100%

The balanced equation for the decomposition is,
2Na₃(CO₃)(HCO₃)·2H₂O(s) → 3Na₂CO₃(s) + CO₂(g) + 5H₂O(g)

The stoichiometric ratio between Na₃(CO₃)(HCO₃)·2H₂O(s) and Na₂CO₃(s) is 2 : 3

The decomposed mass of Na₃(CO₃)(HCO₃)·2H₂O(s) = 1000 kg
= 1000 x 10³ g

Molar mass of Na₃(CO₃)(HCO₃)·2H₂O(s) = 226 g mol⁻¹
moles of Na₃(CO₃)(HCO₃)·2H₂O(s) = mass / molar mass
= 1000 x 10³ g / 226 g mol⁻¹
= 4424.78 mol

Hence, moles of Na₂CO₃ formed = 4424.78 mol x $\frac{3}{2}$
= 6637.17 mol

Molar mass of Na₂CO₃ = 106 g mol⁻¹

Hence, mass of Na₂CO₃ = 6637.17 mol x 106 g mol⁻¹
= 703540.02 g
= 703.540 kg

Hence, the theoretical yield of Na₂CO₃ = 703.540 kg
Actual yield of Na₂CO₃ = 650 kg

Percentage yield = (650 kg / 703.540 kg) x 100%
= 92.34%
