Because in heat rises faster on the floor than on the ceiling or side of a wall.

Heating vents are usually placed on the floor because heat rises. If they weren't on the ground or near it then the house would not stay warm because all of the heat traveled up and out of the room!

it is called the partial pressure because it is pressure that is exerted by each gas in a mixture of gases if it occupy the same volume of it own. the the partial pressure of oxygen in the air sample above is 100 mm hg, that of carbon dioxide is 40 mmhg, for water vapor 47 mmhg. and that of nitrogen is 573 mmhg

What is the percentage of hydrogen in c2h4

jarptica [38.1K]

Ethylene- C2H4 = 85.7% Carbon and 14.3% Hydrogen

Find the atomic masses for each element and multiply it by the number of atoms in the compound, then add.

C- 12.0 * 2= 24.0

H- 1.00 * 4= 4.00

-----------------------

28.0

Take the masses for each element and divide it by the total mass. Then change the answer to get the percent.

C 24.0 / 28.0= .857 = 85.7%

H 4.00 / 28.0= .143 = 14.3%

<h3>Ethylene is 85.7% Carbon and 14.3% Hydrogen </h3>

Consider the following reaction: 4Fe + 302 → 2Fe2O3. What mass of iron(III) oxide would

frutty [35]

Answer:

Mass = 357.7 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Fe = 250 g

Mass of oxygen = 120 g

Mass of iron(III) oxide produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

4Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃

Number of moles of Fe:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 250 g/ 55.8 g/mol

Number of moles = 4.48 mol

Number of moles of O₂ :

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 120 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 3.75 mol

Now we will compare the moles of reactants with product.

Fe : Fe₂O₃

4 : 2

4.48 : 2/4×4.48 = 2.24

O₂ : Fe₂O₃

3 : 2

3.75 : 2/3×3.75= 2.5

Less number of moles of Fe₂O₃ are produced by Fe thus it will act as limiting reactant.

Mass of Fe₂O₃:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 2.24 mol × 159.69 g/mol

Mass = 357.7 g

The student is now told that the four solids, in no particular order, are aluminum chloride (AlCl3), sugar (C6H12O6), benzoic ac

zaharov [31]

Answer:

AlCl₃, NaBr, C₆H₅COOH, C₆H₁₂O₆.

Explanation:

The more ions in solution, the greater the conductivity of a solution because these charged particles can carry electrons in the solution.

In the first place, when AlCl₃ dissolves in water it produces 4 ions:

AlCl₃(aq) ⇄ Al³⁺(aq) + 3 Cl⁻(aq)

If the solution is 0.20M in AlCl₃, it will be 4 x 0.20M = 0.80M in ions.

Secondly, NaBr is a strong electrolyte (<em>complete ionization</em>) so it produces 2 moles of ions per each mole of NaBr dissolved:

NaBr(aq) ⇄ Na⁺(aq) + Br⁻(aq)

If the solution is 0.20M in NaBr, it will be 2 x 0.20M = 0.40M in ions.

Then, benzoic acid is a weak electrolyte (<em>partial ionization</em>) so it will produce <em>less than</em> 2 moles of ions per each mole of benzoic acid dissolved:

C₆H₅COOH(aq) ⇄ C₆H₅COO⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq)

If the solution is 0.20M in benzoic acid, the solution will be far below 0.40M in ions.

Finally, sugar has only nonpolar covalent bonds so it will produce no ions in solution, thus being a poor electricity conductor.
