Explanation:

It is because hydrogen is a highly combustible and it reacts explosively when it comes in contact with air. And hence as a result, storing of the hydrogen gas is difficult and is dangerous at the same time.

Which of the following scientists was the first to determine the

Maru [420]

Answer:

Robert Boyle

Explanation:

Robert Boyle was an Irish chemist and is famously referred to as the first modern chemist. He was born on the 25th of January, 1627 in Lismore, Ireland and died on the 31st, December 1691, London, United Kingdom.

Robert Boyle was the first to determine the relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas.

Boyles states that when the temperature of an ideal gas is kept constant, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume occupied by the gas.

Mathematically, Boyles law is given by;

$PV = K$

$P_{1}V_{1} = P_{2}V_{2}$

Where;

V1 and V2 represents the initial and final volumes respectively.

T1 and T2 represents the initial and final temperatures respectively.

Describe how to test your unknown salt mixture for the presence of Na3PO4.12H2O.

klemol [59]

Na3PO4*12H2O + BaCl2*2H2O = Ba3(PO4)2 + NaCl + H2O

add barium chloride to your Na3PO4.12H2O a white precipitate of Ba3(PO4)2 will be formed wrt salt(NaCl) and water(H20) if Na3PO4.12H2O. will be there.

Given the following data: Fe2O3(s) + 3 CO(g) → 2 Fe(s) + 3 CO2(g) ΔH = −23 kJ 3 Fe2O3(s) + CO(g) → 2 Fe3O4(s) + CO2(g) ΔH = −39

nalin [4]

Answer:

ΔH° = -11 kj

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

1) Fe2O3(s) + 3 CO(g) → 2 Fe(s) + 3 CO2(g) ΔH = −23 kJ

2) 3 Fe2O3(s) + CO(g) → 2 Fe3O4(s) + CO2(g) ΔH = −39 kJ

3) Fe3O4(s) + CO(g) → 3 FeO(s) + CO2(g) ΔH = +18 kJ

Step 2: The balanced equation

FeO + CO → Fe + CO2

Step 3: Calculate ΔH for the reaction FeO(s) + CO(g) → Fe(s) + CO2(g).

To get this equation, we need to combine the 3 equations

We have to multiply the third equation by 2.

2Fe3O4(s) + 2CO(g) → 6 FeO(s) + 2CO2(g) ΔH = +54 kJ

This equation we add to the second equation

3Fe2O3(s) + CO(g) + 2Fe3O4(s) + 2CO(g) → 2Fe3O4(s) + CO2(g) + 6FeO(s) + 2CO2 (g)

3Fe2O3(s) + 3CO(g) → 3CO2(g) + 6FeO(s)

ΔH° = 2*18 + (-39) = 36 - 39 = -3 kJ

This new equation we will divide by 3

3Fe2O3(s) + 3CO(g) → 3CO2(g) + 6FeO(s)

Fe2O3(s) + CO(g) → CO2(g) + 2FeO(s)

ΔH° =-3/3 = -1 kJ

Now we will substract this new equation from the first equation

Fe2O3(s) + 3CO(g) - Fe2O3(s) - CO(g) → 2Fe(s) + 3CO2(g) -2FeO(s) - CO2(g)

2CO(g) + 2FeO(s) → 2Fe(s) + 2CO2(g)

ΔH° = -23kJ +1kJ

ΔH° = -22 kj

The next equation we will divide by 2

2CO(g) + 2FeO(s) → 2Fe(s) + 2CO2(g)

CO(g) + FeO(s) → Fe(s) + CO2(g)

ΔH° = -22kJ /2

ΔH° = -11 kj
