How can atoms be neutral if they contain charged particles?

1 answer:

4 0

Stability of atoms is determined by neutron:proton ratio. This n/p ratio is 1:1 for elements below atomic number 20. Hope this helps.

1. A gas having the following composition is burnt under a boiler with 50% excess air.

jeka94

The composition of the stack gas are :

$CH_4$ = 0.8713

$C_3H_8$ = 0.0202

CO = 0.107

<h3 /><h3>What is a mole fraction?</h3>

The ratio of the number of moles of one component of a solution or other mixture to the total number of moles representing all of the components.

Assuming 100 g of the stack gas. Calculate the mass of each species in this sample according to their percentages.

Mass of $CH_4$ : 70% of 100 g = 70 g

Mass of $C_3H_8$ : 15% of 100 g = 15 g

Mass of CO : 15% of 100 g = 15 g

Now calculate the number of moles of each species:

Number of moles of $CH_4$ : $\frac{70 g}{16.04 g/mol}$ = 4.3 mole

Number of moles of $C_3H_8$ : $\frac{15 g}{144.1 g/mol}$ = 0.10 mole

Mass of CO : $\frac{15 g}{28.01 g/mol}$ = 0.53 mole

Now to calculate the mole fraction of each we use the formula:

Mole fraction of $CH_4$ : $\frac{4.3}{4.935}$ = 0.8713

Mole fraction of $C_3H_8$ : $\frac{0.10}{4.935}$ = 0.0202

Mole fraction of CO : $\frac{0.53}{4.935}$ = 0.107

Hence, composition of the stack gas are:

$CH_4$ = 0.8713

$C_3H_8$ = 0.0202

CO = 0.107

Two reasons why emerging diseases are especially harmful to humans. (is science)

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

Many emerging diseases arise when infectious agents in animals are passed to humans (referred to as zoonoses). As the human population expands in number and into new geographical regions, the possibility that humans will come into close contact with animal species that are potential hosts of an infectious agent increases.

3 A soil has 70% sand, 20% silt

Kisachek [45]

Today, as part of the series of posts on soils, we are going to look at ‘soil texture’. Soil forms the basis for all life but it’s important to know about its mineral constitution as well as its biological profile.

Texture refers to the ‘feel’ of the soil. This is affected by the constituent materials found within it, specifically sand, silt and clay particles. A coarse sand will feel gritty but a wet clay will feel heavy and sticky. The texture of a soil has a direct impact on the way the soil reacts to certain environmental conditions – for example, towards drought or heavy rain (with sandy soils more freely draining).

There is a big difference in the size of the different particles.

Coarse sand = diameter 2-0.2mm

Fine sand = diameter 0.2-0.02mm

Silt = diameter 0.02-0.002mm

Clay = diameter less than 0.002mm

Note how the clay particles are much smaller than the sand particles – this is important as it means the total surface area of a clay soil is much greater and so the capacity to hold water is also much greater.

Between the sand, silt and clay particles there are lots of pores. In fact a soil as a whole is generally 45% mineral, 5% organic matter (depending on the soil) and 50% pore space through which air and water can pass.

Sand –

Made up of weathered primary rock minerals.

The particles are irregular in outline.

They are large and so do not pack together easily.

Large pore spaces in between.

Air gets in very easily and water flows rapidly through it.

Silt –
