Answer:

1. The gas law used: Dalton's law of partial pressure.

2. Pressure of nitrogen = 331 mmHg

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Total pressure (Pₜ) = 592 mmHg

Pressure of Oxygen (Pₒ) = 261 mmHg

Pressure of nitrogen (Pₙ) =?

The pressure of nitrogen in the sample can be obtained by using the Dalton's law of partial pressure. This is illustrated below:

Pₜ = Pₒ + Pₙ

592 = 261 + Pₙ

Collect like terms

592 – 261 = Pₙ

331 = Pₙ

Pₙ = 331 mmHg

Therefore, the pressure of nitrogen in the sample is 331 mmHg

Silicon reacts with carbon dioxide to form silicon carbide sic and silicon dioxide

andrew-mc [135]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Silicon reacts with carbon dioxide to form silicon carbide and silicon dioxide. Write the balanced chemical equation.

Answer: The balanced chemical equation is written below.

Explanation:

Every balanced chemical equation follows law of conservation of mass.

A balanced chemical equation is defined as the equation in which total number of individual atoms on the reactant side is equal to the total number of individual atoms on product side.

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction of silicon and carbon dioxide follows:

$2Si+CO_2\rightarrow SiC+SiO_2$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of silicon reacts with 1 mole of carbon dioxide gas to produce 1 mole of silicon carbide and 1 mole of silicon dioxide

Hence, the balanced chemical equation is written above.

Which of the following abilities is NOT a physical property of matter?

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

Ability to react chemically with other substances is not a physical property.

Explanation:

The ability to dissolve in other substance can be both physical and chemical property.

It depend upon the type of solute, solvent and reaction between them.

For example, if NaCl is dissolved in water it gives sodium and chloride ions which are behaving different from the original compound. it will be chemical change but if water is evaporated it will give back sodium chloride and than it will be a physical change.

But if dissolved substances make the mixture not compound it will than a physical change, and solubility will consider a physical property.

Physical properties:

The properties which are not associated with change in chemical composition are called physical properties.

Example

Density, color, hardness, conductance, melting point, boiling points all are physical properties.

Chemical properties:

The properties which are associated with change in chemical composition are called chemical properties.

Example:

Toxicity, flammability, heat of combustion etc.

Combustion of fuel or wood: that oil or wood convert into energy, CO2 and ash in case of wood

A 2.89 g sample of a metal chloride, MCl2, is dissolved in water and treated with excess aqueous silver nitrate. The silver chlo

dsp73

Answer:

58.0 g/mol

Explanation:

The reaction that takes place is:

MCl₂ + 2AgNO₃ → 2AgCl + M(NO₃)₂

First we calculate how many moles of silver chloride were produced, using its molar mass:

6.41 g AgCl ÷ 143.32 g/mol = 0.0447 mol AgCl

Then we convert AgCl moles into MCl₂ moles, using the stoichiometric ratio:

0.0447 mol AgCl * $\frac{1molMCl_2}{2molAgCl}$ = 0.0224 mol MCl₂

Now we calculate the molar mass of MCl₂, using the original mass of the sample:

2.86 g / 0.0224 mol = 127.68 g/mol

We can write the molar mass of MCl₂ as:

Molar Mass MCl₂ = Molar Mass of M + (Molar Mass of Cl)*2

127.68 g/mol = Molar Mass of M + (35.45 g/mol)*2

Finally we calculate the molar mass of M:

Molar Mass of M = 57 g/mol

The closest option is 58.0 g/mol.
