Explain why quilt is a better insulator than a woolen blanket of the same thickness ​

Chemistry
1 answer:
NISA [10]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

A quilt is a usually multilayered textile, made to warm the body. Air is trapped between the layers of the fabric of the quilt. This is the reason it is a better insulator compared to a woolen blanket of the same thickness.

As air is the poor conductor of heat, therefore, body heat is trapped inside the quilt and thus it more effective for maintaining the body heat

Consider the reaction: CaCO3(s) à CaO(s) + CO2(g)
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

131.5 kJ

Explanation:

Let's consider the following reaction.

CaCO₃(s) → CaO(s) + CO₂(g)

First, we will calculate the standard enthalpy of the reaction (ΔH°).

ΔH° = 1 mol × ΔH°f(CaO(s)) + 1 mol × ΔH°f(CO₂(g) ) - 1 mol × ΔH°f(CaCO₃(s) )

ΔH° = 1 mol × (-634.9 kJ/mol) + 1 mol × (-393.5 kJ/mol) - 1 mol × (-1207.6 kJ/mol)

ΔH° = 179.2 kJ

Then, we calculate the standard entropy of the reaction (ΔS°).

ΔS° = 1 mol × S°(CaO(s)) + 1 mol × S°(CO₂(g) ) - 1 mol × S°(CaCO₃(s) )

ΔS° = 1 mol × (38.1 J/mol.K) + 1 mol × (213.8 J/mol.K) - 1 mol × (91.7 J/mol.K)

ΔS° = 160.2 J/K = 0.1602 kJ/K

Finally, we calculate the standard Gibbs free energy of the reaction at T = 25°C = 298 K.

ΔG° = ΔH° - T × ΔS°

ΔG° = 179.2 kJ - 298 K × 0.1602 kJ/K

ΔG° = 131.5 kJ

A tank of oxygen with a pressure of 23 atm is moved from room temperature of 293K to a storage freezer at 239K. What is the fina
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

18.76atm

Explanation:

Using the formula V1P1/T1 = V2P2/T2, from combined gas law. Volume is constant since we have not been given. Therefore the formula comes to be; P1/T1 = P2/T1

To get P2 = T2(P1/T1)

Where P2 is final pressure

P2 = 239K ( 23atm/293K)

=18.76atm

5.1169 mol of Ne is held at 0.9148 atm and 911 K. What is the volume of its container in liters?
sveticcg [70]

By applying the Boyle's equation and substituting our given data the volume of the container was found to be 418.14 Litres

<h3>Boyle's  Law</h3>

Given Data

  • number of moles of Ne = 5.1169 mol
  • Pressure = 0.9148 atm
  • Temperature = 911 K

We know that the relationship between pressure and temperature is given as

PV = nRT

R = 0.08206

Making the volume subject of formula we have

V= nRT/P

Substituting our given data to find the volume we have

V = 5.1169*0.08206*911/0.9148

V = 382.522353554/0.9148

V = 418.14 L

What is the net ionic equation of the reaction of mgso4 with sr(no3)2?
Bad White [126]

Balanced chemical reaction:  

MgSO₄(aq) + Sr(NO₃)₂(aq) → Mg(NO₃)₂(aq) + SrSO₄(s).

Ionic reaction:  

Mg²⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq) + Sr²⁺(aq) + 2NO₃⁻(aq) → Mg²⁺(aq) + 2NO₃⁻(aq) + SrSO₄(s).

Net ionic reaction:

Sr²⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq) → SrSO₄(s).

Magnesium sulfate (MgSO₄), strontium nitrate (Sr(NO₃)₂ and magnesium nitrate (Mg(NO₃)₂) are soluble in water. Strontium sulfate (SrSO₄) is not soluble in water.

This chemical reaction is double displacement reaction - cations and anions of the two reactants switch places and form two new compounds.

If 17.8 grams of KOH dissolve in enough water to make a 198-gram solution, what is the concentration in percent by mass?
sleet_krkn [62]
Solute of solution = 17.8 g

Solvn = 198 g

% = 17.8 / 198

w% = 0.089 x 100 = 8.9%  by mass

hope this helps!
