Hello!

Some <em>benefits</em> of using nitrous oxide in a vehicle are as follows:

* N2O produces a larger combustion and thus fuels the car for longer periods of time.

* N2O is comparatively inexpensive for what its worth.

* N2O, under certain circumstances, is safer than other alternative sources of fuel because it's not flammable.

Some <em>disadvantages</em> of using nitrous oxide in a vehicle are as follows:

* Since N2O is a gas, it takes up a lot of empty space and can't be stored in large amounts.

* It can occasionally blow up, even though it almost never does.

I hope I helped! :-)

Which list of elements from Group 2 on the Periodic Table is arranged in order of increasing atomic radius?

IgorC [24]

The correct answer is option 1. Be, Mg, and Ca is the correct order arranged in increasing atomic radius. This is predicted based on the periodic table. The atomic sizes increases as one moves downwards in the periodic table.

In examining several amino acids, you want to identify the feature or features that differentiate one amino acid from another. W

sergiy2304 [10]

Your answer is C
amino acids are created by a bond of two carbon atoms and each carbon is part of a different group, one negative and one positive. when the chemical reactions occurs, it creates the several diff amino acids

If 40.0 mL of a calcium nitrate solution reacts with excess potassium carbonate to yield 0.524 grams of a precipitate, what is t

tankabanditka [31]

Answer : The molarity of calcium ion on the original solution is, 0.131 M

Explanation :

The balanced chemical reaction is:

$Ca(NO_3)_2+K_2CO_3\rightarrow CaCO_3+3KNO_3$

When calcium nitrate react with potassium carbonate to give calcium carbonate as a precipitate and potassium nitrate.

First we have to calculate the moles of $CaCO_3$

$\text{Moles of }CaCO_3=\frac{\text{Mass of }CaCO_3}{\text{Molar mass of }CaCO_3}$

Given:

Mass of $CaCO_3$ = 0.524 g

Molar mass of $CaCO_3$ = 100 g/mol

$\text{Moles of }CaCO_3=\frac{0.524}{100g/mol}=0.00524mol$

Now we have to calculate the concentration of $CaCO_3$

$\text{Concentration of }CaCO_3=\frac{\text{Moles of }CaCO_3}{\text{Volume of solution}}=\frac{0.00524mol}{0.040L}=0.131M$

Now we have to calculate the concentration of calcium ion.

As, calcium carbonate dissociate to give calcium ion and carbonate ion.

$CaCO_3\rightarrow Ca^{2+}+CO_3^{2-}$

So,

Concentration of calcium ion = Concentration of $CaCO_3$ = 0.131 M

Thus, the concentration or molarity of calcium ion on the original solution is, 0.131 M

To answer this question, you will need to write the balanced equation and set up a BCA table. Using appropriate rounding rules,

Elenna [48]

Water decomposes when electrolyzed to produce hydrogen and oxygen gas. If 2.5 grams of water were decomposed 1.04 grams of oxygen will be formed.

BCA table:

2 $H_{2}$ O ⇒ $H_{2}$ + $O_{2}$

B 0.13 0 + 0

C -0.13 0.065 + 0.065

A 0 0.065

Explanation:

Balanced equation for water decomposition into hydrogen and oxygen gases

2 $H_{2}$ O ⇒ $H_{2}$ + $O_{2}$

B 0.13 0 + 0

C -0.13 0.065 + 0.065

A 0 0.065

Number of moles of water = $\frac{mass}{atomic mass of 1 mole}$

mass = 2.5 grams

atomic mass= 18 grams

number of moles can be known by putting the values in the formula,

n = $\frac{2.5}{18}$

= 0.13 moles

2 moles of water gives one mole of oxygen on decomposition

so, 0.13 moles of water will give x moles of oxygen on decompsition

$\frac{1}{2}$ = $\frac{x}{0.13}$

x = 0.065 moles of oxygen will be formed.

moles to gram will be calculated as

mass =number of moles x atomic mass

= 0.065 x 16

= 1.04 grams of oxygen.
