3 Why is
2 answers:
Answer and Explanation:
Well if I listened well in Chemistry class,
a. Carbon dioxide is used as fire extinguisher because carbon dioxide can displace oxygen ( which is one of the major three elemnts that make up fire or also known as the fire triangle ).
Also, carbon dioxide is cold so it can cool down the fuel.
b.Liquid Nitrogen is used in freezing food due to it's cooling properties which creates little crystals around the solid food particles without affecting the taste of the food.
c. The argon prevent filaments from decaying. In incandescent light bulbs , the tungsten filaments produces heat which produces light

Answer:
7.37 mL of KOH
Explanation:
So here we have the following chemical formula ( already balanced ), as HNO3 reacts with KOH to form the products KNO3 and H2O. As you can tell, this is a double replacement reaction,
HNO3 + KOH → KNO3 + H2O
Step 1 : The moles of HNO3 here can be calculated through the given molar mass ( 0.140 M HNO3 ) and the mL of this nitric acid. Of course the molar mass is given by mol / L, so we would have to convert mL to L.
Mol of NHO3 = 0.140 M 30 / 1000 L = 0.140 M
0.03 L = .0042 mol
Step 2 : We can now convert the moles of HNO3 to moles of KOH through dimensional analysis,
0.0042 mol HNO2 ( 1 mol KOH / 1 mol HNO2 ) = 0.0042 mol KOH
From the formula we can see that there is 1 mole of KOH present per 1 moles of HNO2, in a 1 : 1 ratio. As expected the number of moles of each should be the same,
Step 3 : Now we can calculate the volume of KOH knowing it's moles, and molar mass ( 0.570 M ).
Volume of KOH = 0.0042 mol ( 1 L / 0.570 mol )
( 1000 mL / 1 L ) = 7.37 mL of KOH
