Answer:

The correct answer is - at high pressure a huge amount of gases can be stored in less volume.

Explanation:

We already know that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of gas which means if we increase the pressure the volume of gas becomes less.

P = 1/V

So in the scuba divers tank, the oxygen is filled at very high pressure so the high amount of the oxygen can be filled in less volume and which will last for longer than a normal pressure tank can last.

Nitrogen dioxide gas is dark brown in color and remains in equilibrium with dinitrogen tetroxide gas, which is colorless.
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

This reaction is exothermic because the system shifted to the left on heating.

Explanation:

2NO₂ (g) ⇌ N₂O₄(g)

Reactant => NO₂ (dark brown in color)

Product => N₂O₄ (colorless)

From the question given above, we were told that when the reaction at equilibrium was moved from room temperature to a higher temperature, the mixture turned dark brown in color.

This simply means that the reaction does not like heat. Hence the reaction is exothermic reaction.

Also, we can see that when the temperature was increased, the reaction turned dark brown in color indicating that the increase in the temperature favors the backward reaction (i.e the equilibrium shift to the left) as NO₂ which is the reactant is dark brown in color. This again indicates that the reaction is exothermic because an increase in the temperature of an exothermic reaction will shift the equilibrium position to the left.

Therefore, we can conclude that:

The reaction is exothermic because the system shifted to the left on heating.

he combustion of propane (C3H8) is given by the balanced chemical equation C_3H_8+5O_2\longrightarrow3CO_2+4H_2O C 3 H 8 + 5 O 2
Basile [38]

Answer:

290 grams

Explanation:

Let's begin by writing the balanced chemical equations:

C_{3}H_{8} +5O_{2} --->3CO_{2} +4H_{2}O

Then we calculate the number of moles in 97g of propane.

n(propane)=\frac{mass}{molarmass} =\frac{97g}{44.1g/mol}=2.1995mol

According to the balanced chemical equation, one mole of propane produces 3 moles of carbon dioxide. So the available number of moles of propane must be multiplied by three to work out the number of carbon dioxide produced.

n(carbon dioxide)= 2.1995mol*3 = 6.5985mol

mass(carbon dioxide) = moles * molar mass

                                   = 6.5985 mol * 44.01 g/mol

                                   = 290 grams

Which reaction would cause an increase in entropy? A. SO2Cl2(g) SO2(g) + Cl2(g) B. PCl3(g) + Cl2(g) PCl5(g) C. 2CO(g) + O2(g) 2C
IrinaVladis [17]
A. SO2Cl2(g) --> SO2(g) + Cl2(g) 
<span>1 mole of SOCl2 becomes 1 mole SO2 and 1 mole Cl2 </span>
<span>1 mole --> 2 moles </span>
<span>entropy increases </span>

Urea, CO(NH2)2, is manufactured on a large scale for use in producing urea-formaldehyde plastics and as a fertilizer. What is th
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

5.004kg

Explanation:

Combustion of carbon

C+O2=CO2

from the relationship of molar ratio

mass of carbon/molar mass of carbon=volume of CO2 produced\molar vol(22.4 dm3)

mass of carbon =1000kg

atomic mass of carbon =12

volume of CO2 produced=1000×22.4/12

volume of CO2 produced =1866.6dm3

from the combustion reaction equation provided

CO2 (g) + 2NH3 (g) ⟶ CO (NH2 )2 (s) + H2 O(l)

applying the same relationship of molar ratio

no of mole of CO2=no of mole of urea

therefore

vol of CO2\22.4=mass of urea/molar mass of urea

molar mass of urea=60.06g/mol

from the first calculation

vol of CO2=1866.6dm3

mass of urea=1866.6×60.06/22.4

mass of urea=5004.82kg
