6 0

Answer: There are 32400 moles of propane burned.

Explanation:

To calculate the mass of propane, we use the equation:

\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}

Density of propane = 4.2lb/gal

Volume of propane = 750 gal

Putting values in above equation, we get:

4.2lb/gal=\frac{\text{Mass of propane}}{750gal}\\\\\text{Mass of propane}=(4.2lb/gal\times 750gal)=3150lb=1428840g     (1 lb=453.6 g[/tex]

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance weighs equal to molecular mass and contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles.

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{1428840g}{44.1g/mol}=32400moles

Thus there are 32400 moles of propane burned.

A 7.27-gram sample of a compound is dissolved in 250. grams of benzene. The freezing point of this solution is 1.02°C below that
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

The correct answer is 146 g/mol

Explanation:

<em>Freezing point depression</em> is a colligative property related to the number of particles of solute dissolved in a solvent. It is given by:

ΔTf = Kf x m

Where ΔTf is the freezing point depression (in ºC), Kf is a constant for the solvent and m is the molality of solution. From the problem, we know the following data:

ΔTf = 1.02ºC

Kf = 5.12ºC/m

From this, we can calculate the molality:

m = ΔTf/Kf = 1.02ºC/(5.12ºC/m)= 0.199 m

The molality of a solution is defined as the moles of solute per kg of solvent. Thus, we can multiply the molality by the mass of solvent in kg (250 g= 0.25 kg) to obtain the moles of solute:

0.199 mol/kg benzene x 0.25 kg = 0.0498 moles solute

There are 0.0498 moles of solute dissolved in the solution. To calculate the molar mass of the solute, we divide the mass (7.27 g) into the moles:

molar mass = mass/mol = 7.27 g/(0.0498 mol) = 145.9 g/mol ≅ 146 g/mol

<em>Therefore, the molar mass of the compound is 146 g/mol </em>

(a) what is the approximate ductility (%el) of a brass that has a yield strength of 230 mpa (33360 psi)?
ss7ja [257]

Based on the calculations, the approximate ductility (%el) of this brass is equal to 2.3%.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Yield strength = 230 mpa (33360 psi).

<h3>What is ductility?</h3>

Ductility can be defined as an important property of a material which determines its ability to become elongated due to the application of stress.

Mathematically, the ductility of a material can be expressed as percentage elongation in length:

\% el = \frac{\Delta L}{L_i} =\frac{L_f - L_i}{L_i}

<u>Where:</u>

  • L_i is the original length.
  • L_f is the final length.
  • \Delta L is the yield strength.

For this exercise, let us assume the original length of this brass is equal to 100 meters.

Substituting the parameters into the formula, we have;

\% el = \frac{230}{100}

Ductility = 2.3%.

When the reactive alkali metal sodium is reacted with poisonous chlorine gas, sodium chloride or table salt is produced. Is mass
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Yes, Mass is conserved.

Explanation:

Every chemical reactions obey the law of conservation of mass. The law of conservation of mass states that in chemical reactions, mass is always constant.

     Equation:

                       2Na + Cl₂  →  2NaCl

From the equation above, one can observe that the reaction started using 2 atoms of Na and it produced 2 atoms of the same element in NaCl. A molecule of Cl produced 2 atoms of Cl in the NaCl

Design a simple experiment to support your answer:

Aim: To demonstrate the law of conservation of mass

   One Na atom weighs 23g

   Two Na atom will weigh 2 x 23 = 46g

1 atom of Cl is 35.5g

1 molecule of Cl containing two atoms of Cl will weigh 2 x 35.5 = 71g

Total mass of reactants = mass of 2Na + 1Cl₂ = (46 + 71)g = 117g

On the product side, Mass of 1 NaCl = 23+ 35.5 = 58.5g

Two moles of NaCl will give 2 x 58.5g = 117g

Since the mass on both side is the same, one can say mass is conserved.
