Why does sawdust burn faster than logs.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Scilla [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

B. Smaller Particles

Explanation:

We know that the rate of reaction increases with increase in the surface area of reactants.

The reacting particles in the log of wood are embedded inside the wood making only very minimal amount of particles available for reaction. This  ultimately slows down the rate of combustion.

However, in saw dust, there is a greater availability of surface area of reactants hence the sawdust burns faster than logs.

How do you balance this equation?
Margarita [4]

Answer:

Al4C3 + 12H2O = 3CH4 + 4Al(OH)3

Explanation:

Not sure if any explanation is needed but always start with the most complex compound. In this case it is Al(OH)3. You can see that there is 4 Aluminiums on the other side so I would start by putting a 4 next to the Al(OH)3. This now gives me 12 Hydrogens and 12 Oxygens on the right side. I put a 3 next to the CH4 to balance the Carbons on the left side. This leaves me with 12 Oxygens and 24 Hydrogens on the right side. This ends up being perfect because I can put a 12 next to the H2O.

107. The lightest noble gases, such as helium and neon, are completely inert—they do not form any chemical compounds whatsoever.
dmitriy555 [2]

Explanation:

Noble gases are group O elements and their atomic structure ensures that they are stable. All their orbitals are completely filled with electrons therefore they do not undergo reactions with other elements.

  • Heavier noble gases are able to form a range of compounds due their sizes.
  • Elements form compounds by exchanging or sharing of their outermost shell electrons called the valence electron.
  • Every atom has specific energy required to remove electrons from them. The energy is known as the ionization energy.
  • In bigger atoms which have large radius, the outermost electrons have low ionization energy which makes them easy to remove.
  • The ionization energy depends on the nuclear charge, the more the charge the higher the ionization energy. Down a group the nuclear charge and ionization decreases.
  • As we go down the inert group, the ionization energy of outer shell electrons become very low. This makes the electrons available to take part in chemical reactions.

What is the volume of 238 moles of krypton gas at STP?
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

              5331.2 L of Volume

Explanation:

At standard temperature and pressure (STP) one mole of ideal gas occupies 22.4 L of volume.

Hence we can write following relation,

                   1 mole of Gas occupies = 22.4 L of Volume

So,

             238 moles of gas will occupy = X L of Volume

Solving for X,

X = 22.4 L × 238 mole / 1 mole

X = 5331.2 L of Volume
