Answer:

Land fill

Explanation:

A landfill is a carefully managed waste disposal site. It is the oldest method of waste disposal. In a dumpsite, biodegradable materials decay overtime.

However, non-biodegradable materials such as plastics and other polymers tend to last many years in landfills. This category of wastes pose a great threat to the environment.

How many molecules of water can be produced from 46.72 liters of C8H18? 2\:C_8H_{18}\:+\:25\:O_2\:\:\Longrightarrow\:\:16\:CO_2\
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

1.13×10^25 molecules of water.

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction;

C8H18(g) + 25/2 O2 (g) -------> 8CO2(g) + 9H2O(l)

It is important to first put down the balanced reaction equation. It is not possible to solve any problem on stoichiometric relationship without a balanced reaction equation. Once the equation is obtained, we can now proceed with other steps in the solution of the problem.

From the reaction equation, 1 mole of C8H18 produces 9 moles of water

1 mole of C8H18 occupies 22.4L volume while 1 mole of water contains 6.02×10^23 molecules of water

Hence

22.4 L of C8H18 produces 9(6.02×10^23) molecules of water

46.72 L of C8H18 will produce 46.72 L × 9(6.02×10^23) molecules of water/22.4 L

= 113×10^23 or 1.13×10^25 molecules of water.

When the volume of a gas is changed from 524 cm^3 to ____ cm^3, the temperature will change from 491 K to 297 K .
SpyIntel [72]
V1/T1=V2/T2
524 cm^3/491 K =V2/297K

V2=(524 cm^3*297K)/491 K= 317K

Which statement describes what happens when somebody slaps their hand on a wall?
laiz [17]

Answer:

B. Wall applies equal reaction force on hand

Explanation:

This is newton's third law. You push something, that something pushes you back with same force. The direction is opposite, so if I push a wall, the wall pushes me back with same force just in opposite direction (so wall towards me). This is why option A is incorrect b/c it says force in same direction as wall. C and D talk about unequal force which is incorrect.
