Interms of air molecules, what gives a balloon its shape when air is blown into it

Chemistry
1 answer:
Verizon [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: Because when you blow air /gas into a balloon you fill it with air particles ,so they more you blow u blow in more air particles so they tend to collide with each other ,so as they hit the walls of the balloons pressure is exerted ,so the pressure keeps the balloon inflated with its shape

Nitroglycerin is a dangerous powerful explosive that violently decomposes when it is shaken or dropped. The Swedish chemist Alfr
ELEN [110]

Answer:

4 C3H5N3O9 ------> 6N2 + O2 + 10H2O + 12CO2

Explanation:

Nitroglycerin has a chemical formula C3H5N3O9. The balanced chemical equation is as follows:

4 C3H5N3O9 ------> 6N2 + O2 + 10H2O + 12CO2

We suppose that in a reaction, 44g of carbon dioxide is produced. The mass of nitroglycerin that must have reacted will be calculated as under:

Molecular mass of Nitroglycerin = 227g/mol

Molecular mass of Carbon dioxide = 44g/mol

No. of moles of carbon dioxide produced = 44/44 = 1 mole produced.

Now, from balanced chemical equation, we can see that

12 moles of carbon dioxide are produced by = 4 moles of nitroglycerin.

1 mole of carbon dioxide is produced by = 4/12 = 1/3 moles of nitroglycerin.

Mass of nitroglycerin which produced 1 mole of carbon dioxide =  1/3 x 227 = 75.666 grams.

A 24.00 mL sample of a solution of Pb(ClO3)2 was diluted with water to 52.00 mL. A 17.00 mL sample of the dilute solution was fo
klio [65]

Answer:

0.238 M

Explanation:

A 17.00 mL sample of the dilute solution was found to contain 0.220 M ClO₃⁻(aq). The concentration is an intensive property, so the concentration in the 52.00 mL is also 0.220 M ClO₃⁻(aq). We can find the initial concentration of ClO₃⁻ using the dilution rule.

C₁.V₁ = C₂.V₂

C₁ × 24.00 mL = 0.220 M × 52.00 mL

C₁ = 0.477 M

The concentration of Pb(ClO₃)₂ is:

\frac{0.477molClO_{3}^{-} }{L} \times \frac{1molPb(ClO_{3})_{2}}{2molClO_{3}^{-}} =0.238M

Dissolving salt in water reduces the intermolecular forces between water molecules. What most likely happens to the surface tens
Svetllana [295]

If we dissolve salt in water they will reduce the intermolecular forces between water molecule and this will decrease the surface tension.

Surface tension is due to cohesive forces (the forces between molecules of same substance) hence as cohesive forces decreases the surface tension also decreases

Explain what makes a covalently bonded molecule polar. Use the molecules of CH4 and CH3F as examples in your explanation.
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The magnitude of electronegativity difference between atoms in a bond determines whether that bond will be polar or not.

If the electronegativity difference between atoms in a bond is about 1.7, the bond is ionic. If the electronegativity difference is greater than 0.4 and less than 1.7, the bond will have a polar covalent character. Lastly, if the electronegativity difference between the bond is less than or equal to 0.4, the covalent bond is non polar.

The electronegativity difference between carbon and hydrogen is about 0.4 which corresponds to a nonpolar covalent bond hence the molecule is nonpolar.

The electronegativity difference between carbon and fluorine is about 1.5 indicating a highly polar bond. This gives CH3F an overall dipole moment thereby making the molecule polar.

Octane has a density of 0.703 g/ml. Calculate the mass of CO2(g) produced by burning one
STatiana [176]

The mass of CO₂ gas produced during the combustion of one gallon of octane is 8.21 kg.

The given parameters:

  • <em>Density of the octane, ρ = 0.703 g/ml</em>
  • <em>Volume of octane, v = 3.79 liters</em>

<em />

The mass of the octane burnt is calculated as follows;

m = \rho V\\\\m = 0.703 \ \frac{g}{ml} \times 3.79 \ L \ \frac{1000 \ ml}{L} \\\\m = 2,664.37 \ g

The combustion reaction of octane is given as;

2C_8H_{18} +  \ 25O_2 \ --> \ 16CO_2 \ + \ 18H_2O

From the reaction above:

228.46 g of octane -------------------> 704 g of  CO₂ gas

2,664.37 of octane --------------------> ? of CO₂ gas

= \frac{2,664.37 \times 704}{228.46} \\\\= 8,210.3 \ g\\\\= 8.21 \ kg

Thus, the mass of CO₂ gas produced during the combustion of one gallon of octane is 8.21 kg.
