Rdaioactive  decay results in the formation of a different element. Plutonium decays by emitting alpha emission to form uranium. Thermal energy is emitted as the alpha particles are absorbed and the kinetic energy  is converted to heat. The amount of energy is computed by the formula;
E = mc²
E = 0.000046 × (3 ×10^8) 
 Energy = 4.14 ×10^13 Joules

Acetylene gas (c2h2) reacts with oxygen gas (o2) to produce carbon dioxide (co2) and water vapor (h2o). how many liters of c2h2
MissTica
According to the balanced equation of the reaction:

2C2H2 + 5O2 → 4CO2 + 2H2O

So we can mention all as liters,

A) as we see that 2 liters of C2H2 react with 5 liters of oxygen to produce 4 liters of CO4 and 2 liters of H2O 

So, when we have 75L of CO2

and when we have 2 L of C2H2 reacts and gives 4 L of CO2

 2C2H2 → 4CO2 

∴ The volume of C2H2 required is:

                    = 75L / 2

                    = 37.5 L

B) and, when we have 75 L of CO2


and 4CO2 → 2H2O 

∴ the volume of H2O required is: 
                               
                            = 75 L /2
                            = 37.5 L 


C) and from the balanced equation and by  the same way:

when 5 liters O2  reacts to give 4 liters of CO2

and we have 75 L of CO2:

5 O2 → 4 CO2 

   ??  ←  75 L

∴ the volume of O2 required is:

                              = 75 *(5/4)

                              = 93.75 L



D) about the using of the number of moles the answer is: 

no, there is no need to find the number of moles as we called everything in the balanced equation by liters and use it as a liter unit to get the volume, without the need to get the number of moles.

Which of the following is the displacement from point P to point W?
IRINA_888 [86]
<span>C represents the displacement ONLY if it is the VECTOR arrow from P to W. 
Usually if the arrow on the diagram has JUST a letter listing, that letter stands for the SIZE or LENGTH of the VECTOR arrow. In order to have the letter represent the VECTOR, itself, it must have a symbol of a "half arrow" placed above it.</span>
