Answer: Fire requires oxygen to burn. Water "smothers" fire and prevents it from acquiring more oxygen. Fire also requires heat, which cool water may prevent/remove.
Answer:
The Third Law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of a pure substance in a perfect crystalline state at zero temperature is zero.
The empirical formula is XeO₃.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Assume 100 g of the compound is present. This changes the percents to grams:
Given mass in g:
Xenon = 73.23 g
Oxygen = 26.77 g
We have to convert it to moles.
Xe = 73.23/
131.293 = 0.56 moles
O = 26.77/ 16 = 1.67 moles
Divide by the lowest value, seeking the smallest whole-number ratio:
Xe = 0.56/ 0.56 = 1
O = 1.67/ 0.56 = 2.9 ≈3
So the empirical formula is XeO₃.
Hey There!:
2 C2H2 + 5 O2 = 4 CO2 + 2 H2O
2 moles C2H2 ----------- 5 moles O2
35.0 moles C2H2 ------- moles O2
moles O2 = 35.0 * 5 / 2
moles O2 = 87.5 moles
hope this helps!
