Answer:

3000 kJ/kg

Explanation:

The calorific value of a substance is the amount of heat produced per unit mass by the combustion of the substance.

It is given by:

C=\frac{Q}{m}

where

Q is the amount of heat released

m is the mass of the fuel

In this problem, we have:

m = 60 kg is the mass of fuel

Q=180,000 kJ is the amount of heat released

Therefore, the calorific value of the fuel is:

C=\frac{180,000}{60}=3000 kJ/kg

Calcium chlorate has the formula Ca(ClO3)2. Which best describes the structure of calcium chlorate? One molecule of calcium chlo
deff fn [24]
The formula Ca(ClO3)2 breaks down to: 1 calcium atom, 2 chlorine atoms, and 6 oxygen atoms. Therefore:

One molecule of calcium chlorate contains 9 atoms [correct]

Calcium chlorate is not an element, nor does the molecule contain only 3 atoms [incorrect]

It does not take 9 different elements - just the three elements we listed [incorrect]

Calcium chloride only contains one Ca group [incorrect]

Which reactions are single displacement reactions? 2NaBr + CaF2 → 2NaF + CaBr2 SnO2 + 2H2 → Sn + 2H2O 4Na + O2 → 2Na2O 2KClO3 →
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer : The correct options are, SnO_2+2H_2\rightarrow Sn+2H_2O and 2Al+6HCl\rightarrow 2AlCl_3+3H_2

Explanation :

Single displacement reaction : It is a type of chemical reaction in which the more reactive element displaces the less reactive element.

Option A reaction : 2NaBr+CaF_2\rightarrow 2NaF+CaBr_2

It is an example of double displacement reaction because in this reaction a positive cation and a negative anion of the two reactants exchange their places to form two new products.

Option B reaction : SnO_2+2H_2\rightarrow Sn+2H_2O

It is an example of single displacement reaction.

Option C reaction : 4Na+O_2\rightarrow 2Na_2O

It is an example of combination reaction because in this reaction two reactants react to give a single product.

Option D reaction : 2KClO_3\rightarrow 2KCl+3O_2

It is an example of decomposition reaction because in this reaction a single reactant decomposes into two or more products.

Option E reaction : 2Al+6HCl\rightarrow 2AlCl_3+3H_2

It is an example of single displacement reaction because in this reaction the most react element, aluminium displaces the less reactive element, hydrogen.

Hence, the options B and E are single displacement reactions.

A mixture contains O2 at 700. torr pressure, F2 at 500. torr pressure, and Cl2 at 500. torr pressure. What is the total pressure
Softa [21]

You have to use Dalton's law of partial pressure for this question. Dalton's law of partial pressure basically states that the total pressure of the system is all of the partial pressures of the components added together. Therefore to answer the question you just need to add all the patial pressures together meaning that the total pressure would be 700+500+500=1700.

The answer would be 1700 torr.

I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear or if you have any further questions.

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

volcanic eruption caused by plate tectonics.

Explanation:

Constructive process is one in which memories are influenced by some events. When a person tries to retrieve the memory he first click some event which is associated with that memory and then whole flash backs comes to his mind.
