The solution to the problem is as follows:

 <span>a) 

C + O2 = CO2 

Molar mass CO2 = 44 g/mol 

3.67 g CO2 * 1 mol / 44 g = 

=0.0834 mol CO2 = 0.0834 mol C 

I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!

What molecules can be used for long-term energy storage?
Readme [11.4K]
Lipids are organic molecules which can be used for long-term energy. These includes fats, waxes, sterols, glycerides, phospholipids, etc. Lipids contain more energy per unit mass which makes it much lighter. However, their insolubility to water makes them harder to transport.

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

0.683 mol

46.3 g

Explanation:

There is some info missing. I think this is the original question.

<em>Boron trifluoride gas is collected at 21.0 °C in an evacuated flask with a measured volume of 50.0 L. When all the gas has been collected, the pressure in the flask is measured to be 0.330 atm. Calculate the mass and number of moles of boron trifluoride gas that were collected. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.</em>

<em />

Step 1: Convert the temperature to the Kelvin scale

We will use the following expression.

K = °C + 273.15

K = 21.0°C + 273.15

K = 294.2 K

Step 2: Calculate the moles of boron trifluoride gas

We will use the ideal gas equation.

P \times V = n \times R \times T\\n = \frac{P \times V}{R \times T}  = \frac{0.330atm \times 50.0L}{\frac{0.0821atm.L}{mol.K}  \times 294.2K} = 0.683 mol

Step 3: Calculate the mass of boron trifluoride gas

The molar mass of BF₃ is 67.81 g/mol.

0.683 mol \times \frac{67.81g}{mol} = 46.3 g

An unknown solution has a ph of 8. how would you classify this solution?
Delvig [45]
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. You would classify this solution as basic since it has the pH of more than 7 which signifies a basic solution. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.

If you have two peaks in your gas chromatograph, how many compounds are in your sample?
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

Two compounds.

Explanation:

If you have two peaks in your gas chromatograph, this means that you have two compounds.

The gas chromatograph is an instrument that helps identify how many compounds a substance has by observing its behavior against a solid medium through adsorption and the velocity of each compound in it.

Potassium permanganate, KMnO, and glycerin, C3H5(OH)3, react explosively according to the
Finger [1]

The volume of CO2 at STP =124.298 L

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

4 KMnO4, +4 C3H5(OH)5, -7K2CO3, + 7 Mn2O3, +5 CO2, + 16 H2O

701,52 g of KMnO4

Required

volume of CO2 at STP

Solution

mol KMnO4 (MW=158,034 g/mol) :

mol = mass : MW

mol = 701.52 : 158.034

mol = 4.439

mol CO2 from equation : 5/4 x mol KMnO4 = 5/4 x 4.439 = 5.549

At STP 1 mol = 22.4 L, so for 5.549 moles :

=5.549 x 22.4

=124.298 L
