One disadvantage of burning propane (C3H8) is that carbon dioxide is one of the products. The released CO2 increases the growing

concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere. How many moles of water are produced when 20.0 moles of propane are burned in excess oxygen on a gas grill?

Answer:

80 MOLES OF WATER ARE PRODUCED WHEN 20 MOLES OF PROPANE ARE BURNED IN EXCESS OXYGEN ON A GAS GRILL.

Explanation:

Equation for the reaction:

C3H8 + 5 O2 ---------> 4 H2O + 3 CO2 + Heat

The above equation is in the presence of excess oxygen.

In this reaction,

1 mole of propane forms 4 moles of H2O

If 20 moles of propane were to be used, how many moles of water will be produced?

1 mole of propane = 4 moles of water

20 moles of propane = ( 4 * 20 ) moles of water

= 80 moles of water.

So, if 20 moles of propane were burned in excess oxygen, 80 moles of water will be formed. Propane is heavier than air and when properly combusted produces a large amount of heat. It is also non toxic.

Write a<br> paragraph or two on electromagnetism.

patriot [66]

Answer:

Electromagnetism is the study of the electromagnetic force, one of the four fundamental forces of nature. It includes the electric force, which pushes all charged particles, and the magnetic force, which only pushes moving charges.It is used in many electrical appliances to generate desired magnetic fields. It is even used in a electric generator to produce magnetic fields for electromagnetic induction to occur.

10 m3 of carbon dioxide is originally at a temperature of 50 °C and pressure of 10 kPa. Determine the new density and volume of

Dimas [21]

Answer : The new density and new volume of carbon dioxide gas is 0.2281 g/L and $7.2m^3$ respectively.

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the new or final volume of carbon dioxide gas.

Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is,

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

where,

$P_1$ = initial pressure of gas = 10 kPa

$P_2$ = final pressure of gas = 15 kPa

$V_1$ = initial volume of gas = $10m^3$

$V_2$ = final volume of gas = ?

$T_1$ = initial temperature of gas = $50^oC=273+50=323K$

$T_2$ = final temperature of gas = $75^oC=273+75=348K$

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

$\frac{10kPa\times 10m^3}{323K}=\frac{15kPa\times V_2}{348K}$

$V_2=7.2m^3$

The new volume of carbon dioxide gas is $7.2m^3$

Now we have to calculate the new density of carbon dioxide gas.

$PV=nRT\\\\PV=\frac{m}{M}RT\\\\P=\frac{m}{V}\frac{RT}{M}\\\\P=\rho \frac{RT}{M}\\\\\rho=\frac{PM}{RT}$

Formula for new density will be:

$\rho_2=\frac{P_2M}{RT_2}$

where,

$P_2$ = new pressure of gas = 15 kPa

$T_2$ = new temperature of gas = $75^oC=273+75=348K$

M = molar mass of carbon dioxide gas = 44 g/mole

R = gas constant = 8.314 L.kPa/mol.K

$\rho$ = new density

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

$\rho_2=\frac{(15kPa)\times (44g/mole)}{(8.314L.kPa/mol.K)\times (348K)}$

$\rho_2=0.2281g/L$

The new density of carbon dioxide gas is 0.2281 g/L

What causes the difference in bond angles in carbon dioxide and water?

egoroff_w [7]

Answer is: C) the fact that the number of lone pairs of electrons on the central atom is greater in the case of water.

Carbon(IV) oxide is nonpolar because CO₂ is linear molecule and the oxygen atoms are symmetrical (bond angles 180°).

Water is polar because of the bent shape of the molecule.

Oxygen atom in water molecule has sp3 hybridization. The bond angle between the two hydrogen atoms is approximately 104.45°.

Oxygen atom has atomic number 8, it means it has eight protons and eight electrons, so atom has neutral charge. Oxygen is a nonmetal.

Electron configuration of oxygen atom: ₈O 1s² 2s² 2p⁴.

Oxygen atom has six valence electrons , two lone pairs and two electrons that form two sigma bonds with hydrogen atoms.

Carbon is a chemical element with symbol C and atomic number 6, which means it has 6 protons and six electrons. Four valence electrons are in 2s and 2p orbitals.

Electron configuration of carbon atom: ₆C 1s² 2s² 2p².

In carbon dioxide, carban has sp hybridization with no lone pairs.

What reaction might we use to synthesize nickel sulfate,niso4? Write equations for acid base neutralization. Include states in y

il63 [147K]

Answer:

Here's what I get

Explanation:

1. Nickel sulfate

base + acid ⟶ salt + water

NiSO₄ is a salt of the base Ni(OH)₂ and the acid sulfuric acid.

Hydroxides of transition metals are insoluble; most sulfates are soluble.

$\underbrace{\hbox{Ni(OH)$_{2}$(s)}}_{\hbox{base}} + \underbrace{\hbox{H$_{2}$SO$_{4}$(aq)}}_{\hbox{acid}} \longrightarrow \, \underbrace{\hbox{NiSO$_{4}$(aq)}}_{\hbox{salt}} + \underbrace{\hbox{2H$_{2}$O(l)}}_{\hbox{water}}$

2. Carbonate + acid

Most carbonates are insoluble.

They react with acids to form carbonic acid (H₂CO₃), which decomposes into water and carbon dioxide.

$\rm NiCO_{3}(s) + H_{2}SO_{4}(aq) \longrightarrow \, NiSO_{4}(aq) + H_{2}O(l) + CO_{2}(g)$
