How do chemist control the speed of explosions?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ede4ka [16]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Explosives are chemicals that have very fast burn rates at different degree.

First the Dynamite:

-The dynamite is an explosive that made from nitroglycerin, and it is a type of the explosive that has a fast burning rate and makes it very strong explosive. Physical shock can make the dynamite to explode and makes it highly dangerous.

-But the fireworks are a class of low explosive, the stuff that used in it is black powder.Because this explosive has a slow burn rate than dynamite that makes it less dangerous and safer than dynamite explosives

-SO although the dynamite and the fireworks are both explosives they have different burn rates which make them totally different in safeness.

Identify the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent in the following reactions: (i) 8NH3( g) + 6NO2( g) => 7N2( g) + 12H2O( l
shusha [124]

Answer:

(i)  Oxidizing Agent: NO2 / Reducing Agent NH3-

(ii) Oxidizing Agent AgNO3 / Reducing Agent Zn

Explanation:

(i) 8NH3( g) + 6NO2( g) => 7N2( g) + 12H2O( l)

In this reaction, both two reactants contain nitrogen with a different oxidation number and produce only one product which contains nitrogen with a unique oxidation state. So, nitrogen is oxidized and reduced in the same reaction.

Nitrogen Undergoes a change in oxidation state from 4+ in NO2 to 0 in N2. It is reduced because it gains electrons (decrease its oxidation state). NO2 is the oxidizing agent (electron acceptor).

Nitrogen Changes from an oxidation state of 3- in NH3 to 0 in N2. It is oxidized because it loses electrons (increase its oxidation state). NH3 is the reducing agent (electron donor)

(ii) Zn(s) +AgNO3(aq) => Zn(NO3)2(aq) + Ag(s)

Ag changes oxidation state from 1+ to 0 in Ag(s).

Ag is reduced because it gains electrons and for this reason and AgNO3 is the oxidizing agent (electron acceptor)

Zn Changes from an oxidation state of 0 in Zn(s) to 2+ in Zn(NO3)2. It is oxidized and for this reason Zn is the reducing agent (electron donor).

Balanced equation:

Zn(s) +2AgNO3(aq) => Zn(NO3)2(aq) + 2Ag(s)

Calculate the energy of a photon of this light wave in joules. [Show all calculations, including the equation and substitution w
Ket [755]

The energy of the photon from the calculation performed is 3.5 * 10^-16 J.

<h3>What is a photon?</h3>

A photon is a packet of light. It was derived from the theory of Albert Einstein. The energy of a photon is obtained from; E = hc/λ

  • h= Plank's constant
  • c = speed of light
  • λ = wavelength

Now we have that;

E = 6.6 * 10^-34 * 3 * 10^8/562 * 10^-9

E = 3.5 * 10^-16 J

Missing parts:

Logging trees is often controversial. Why would some people support logging and some people not support logging?
Harlamova29_29 [7]
It seems more and more there are fewer conservation organizations who speak for the forest, and more that speak for the timber industry. Witness several recent commentaries in Oregon papers that are by no means unique. I’ve seen similar themes from other conservation groups across the West in recent years.

Many conservation groups have uncritically adopted views that support more logging of our public lands based upon increasingly disputed ideas about forest health and fire ecology, as well as the age-old bias against natural processes like wildfire and beetles.

For instance, an article in the Portland Oregonian quotes Oregon Wild’s executive director Sean Stevens bemoaning the closure of a timber mill in John Day Oregon. Stevens said: “Loss of the 29-year-old Malheur Lumber Co. mill would be ‘a sad turn of events’” Surprisingly, Oregon Wild is readily supporting federal subsidies to promote more logging on the Malheur National Forest to sustain the mill.

andre [41]

Answer:

Atoms are single neutral particles. Molecules are neutral particles made of two or more atoms bonded together.

Calculate the mass of water produced when 2.06 g of butane reacts with excess oxygen.
dem82 [27]
2C4H10 + 13O2 = 8CO2 + 10H2O

1. (2.06g C4H10)/(58.12 g/mol C4H10) = 0.035mol C4H10

2. (0.035molC4H10)(10 mol H2O/2mol C4H10) = 0.177mol H2O

3. (0.177mol H2O)(18.01g/mol H2O) = 3.19g H2O
