As the blades rotate, they experience frictional forces as they `rub' against the air; this knocks electrons around, causing the blades to build up a net charge. The charged dust particles then stick to the charged areas of the blades. "The leading edge of the blades usually develops the thickest layer of dust.

How many grams of lithium chloride can be produced from 14.3 g of lithium chlorate when it decomposes into lithium chloride and
vampirchik [111]

6.7 grams of lithium chloride will be produced.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Lithium chlorate is LiClO₃ and lithium chloride is LiCl. The reaction is,

2LiClO₃ = 2LiCl +3O₂.

So here, 2 moles of lithium chlorate produces 2 moles of lithium chloride.

Or, one molecule of lithium chlorate will produce one mole of lithium chloride.

Molecular weight of lithium chlorate =6.9 + 35.5 + 16\times3 = 90.4.

So, 14.3 grams of lithium chlorate has 0.16 moles of lithium chlorate.

Thereby, moles of lithium chloride produced is 0.16 moles.

Molecular weight of lithium chloride = 6.9+35.5 = 42.4 grams.

So weight of lithium chloride produced = 42.4 \times 0.16 = 6.7 grams.

Thus, weight of lithium chloride produced will be 6.7 grams.

What is the maximum mass of b4c that can be formed from 2.00 moles of boron(iii) oxide?
anzhelika [568]

The maximum mass of B₄C that can be formed from 2.00 moles of boron (III) oxide is 55.25 grams.

<h3>What is the stoichiometry?</h3>

Stoichiometry of the reaction gives idea about the relative amount of moles of reactants and products present in the given chemical reaction.

Given chemical reaction is:

2B₂O₃ + 7C → B₄C + 6CO

From the stoichiometry of the reaction, it is clear that:

2 moles of B₂O₃ = produces 1 mole of B₄C

Now mass of B₄C will be calculated by using the below equation:

W = (n)(M), where

  • n = moles = 1 mole
  • M = molar mass = 55.25 g/mole

W = (1)(55.25) = 55.25 g

Hence required mass of B₄C is 55.25 grams.

A mixture of gases with a pressure of 800.0 mm hg contains 60% nitrogen and 40% oxygen by volume. What is the partial pressure o
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

  • <em>The partial pressure of oxygen in the mixture is</em><u> 320.0 mm Hg</u>

Explanation:

<u>1) Take a base of 100 liters of mixture</u>:

  • N: 60% × 100 liter  = 60 liter

  • O: 40 % × 100 liter = 40 liter.

<u>2) Volume fraction:</u>

At constant pressure and temperature, the volume of a gas is proportional to the number of molecules.

Then, the mole ratio is equal to the volume ratio. Callin n₁ and n₂, the number of moles of nitrogen and oxygen, respectively, and V₁, V₂ the volume of the respective gases you can set the proportion:

  • V₁ / V₂ = n₁ / n₂

That means that the mole ratio is equal to the volume ratio, and the mole fraction is equal to the volume fraction.

Then, since the law of partial pressures of gases states that the partial pressure of each gas is equal to the mole fraction of the gas multiplied by the total pressure, you can draw the conclusion that the partial pressure of each gas is equal to the volume fraction of the gas in the mixture multiplied by the total pressure.

Then calculate the volume fractions:

  • Volume fraction of a gas = volume of the gas / volume of the mixture

  • N: 60 liter / 100 liter = 0.6 liter

  • V: 40 liter / 100 liter = 0.4 liter

<u>3) Partial pressures:</u>

These are the final calculations and results:

  • Partial pressure = volume fraction × total pressure

  • Partial pressure of N = 0.6 × 800.0 mm Hg = 480.0 mm Hg

  • Partial pressure of O = 0.4 × 800.0 mm Hg = 320.0 mm Hg

When 1 mol of KBr(s) decomposes to its elements, 394 kJ of heat is absorbed. (a) Write a balanced thermochemical equation.
VladimirAG [237]

The balanced thermochemical equation is

KBr ------- K + 1/2 Br2

<h3>What is thermochemical equation? </h3>

A Thermochemical Equation is defined as the balanced stoichiometric chemical equation which includes the enthalpy change, ΔH.

The chemical equation for the decomposition of potassium bromide to its constituent elements bromine ans potassium :

KBr ----- K + Br2

The balanced thermochemical equation of the decomposition of potassium bromide to its constituent elements potassium and bromide as follows

KBr ------- K + 1/2 Br2

As the heat is absorbed in this reaction therefore, heat is positive.

Thus, we concluded that the balanced thermochemical equation is

KBr ------- K + 1/2 Br2
