When you put a popcorn kernel in a microwave, the microwave heats up the water. The water then evaporates, and the air wants to escape. There will be so much pressure that the skin/shell of the kernel will break, exposing the corn.

1. NaOH mass of a solution of 200g in which its percentage is 25%. What mass of sulfuric acid solution is needed to completely n
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

m_{H2SO4 = 61.25 g

m_{Na2SO4} = 88.75 g

Explanation:

m_{NaOH} = \frac{200 . 25 }{100} = 50 g

⇒ n_{NaOH} = \frac{50}{40} = 1.25 (moles)

2NaOH + H2SO4 ⇒ Na2SO4 + 2H2O

   2        :     1           :      1         :    2

 1.25                                                       (moles)

⇒  n_{H2SO4} = 1.25 × 1 ÷ 2 = 0.625 (moles) ⇒ m_{H2SO4} = 0.625 × 98 = 61.25 g

    n_{Na2SO4} = 1.25 × 1 ÷ 2 = 0.625 (moles) ⇒m_{Na2SO4} = 0.625 × 142 = 88.75 g

You have to prepare some 2 M solutions, with 10 g of solute in each. What volume of solution will you prepare, for each solute b
alexdok [17]

Answer:

             0.045 L  or 45 mL

Explanation:

Moles = Mass/M.Mass

Moles = 10 g / 109.94 g/mol

Moles = 0.09 moles

Also,

Molarity = Moles / Vol in L

Or,

Vol in L = Moles / Molarity

Vol in L = 0.09 mol / 2 mol/L

Vol in L = 0.045 L

A mixture of helium, nitrogen and oxygen has a total pressure of 821 mmHg. The partial pressure of helium is 105 mmHg, and the p
skad [1K]

Answer:

Total partial pressure, Pt = 821 mm Hg

Partial pressure of Helium, P1 = 105 mm Hg

Partial pressure of Nitrogen, P2 = 312 mm Hg

Partial pressure of Oxygen, P3 = ? mm Hg

According to Dalton's law of Partial pressures,

Pt = P1 + P2 + P3

So, <u>P3 = 404 mm Hg</u>
