Write a chemical equation of Dr. Jeff’s demonstration using a battery to light steel wool on fire. The battery is used to allow

a current to travel through the steel wool, thus heating it up. Steel wool is made from iron (Fe).

Answer:

2Fe(s) + 3O2(g) --------> 2FeO3(s)

Explanation:

According to the question, a  battery was used  to light the steel wool by bringing the terminals very close together. When  the battery came into contact with the steel wool, current was sent out through the thin wire.  This caused the iron to heat up quite well.

Iron reacts with oxygen under these conditions as follows;

2Fe(s) + 3O2(g) --------> 2FeO3(s)

This is the chemical reaction that occurs when the steel wool is set on fire.

If you burn 55.6 g of hydrogen and produce 497 g of water, how much oxygen reacted?
tester [92]

Answer:

441.28 g Oxygen

Explanation:

  • The combustion of hydrogen gives water as the product.
  • The equation for the reaction is;

2H₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2H₂O(l)

Mass of hydrogen = 55.6 g

Number of moles of hydrogen

Moles = Mass/Molar mass

          = 55.6 g ÷ 2.016 g/mol

          = 27.8 moles

The mole ratio of Hydrogen to Oxygen is 2:1

Therefore;

Number of moles of oxygen = 27.5794 moles ÷ 2

                                               = 13.790 moles

Mass of oxygen gas will therefore be;

Mass = Number of moles × Molar mass

Molar mass of oxygen gas is 32 g/mol

Mass = 13.790 moles × 32 g/mol

<h3>          = 441.28 g</h3><h3>Alternatively:</h3>

Mass of hydrogen + mass of oxygen = Mass of water

Therefore;

Mass of oxygen = Mass of water - mass of hydrogen

                          = 497 g - 55.6 g

<h3>                           = 441.4 g </h3>

polet [3.4K]
I remember coming across this question and the options were:
KOH, HCN, NH₃, HI, Sr(OH)₂

Now, a substance with a low pH is one that dissociates completely in water to release hydrogen ions, while basic substances dissociate completely to release hydroxide ions. Therefore, in the order of increasing pH:
HI, HCN, NH₃, Sr(OH)₂, KOH

Hi can u help me pls? I'm totally stuck . The natural source of acidity in rain water is _____.
kykrilka [37]

Answer-The correct option is option d with says all of the above.

Explanation- All three acids that are given combined together to form acid rain in which nitric and sulphuric acid are stronger acids present while carbonic acid is a weaker one.

The carbon dioxide admitted in air combines with water to form carbonic acid and gives a weak acidic nature to rainwater. Pollution in nature makes sulphur and nitrogen present in air react to form the stronger acids responsible for acid rain.

How do I solve the following word problem: The half-life of Phosphorus - 32 is 14.3 days. It is used to study a plant's use of f
BaLLatris [955]

Half life is the time that it takes for half of the original value of some amount of a radioactive element to decay.

We have the following equation representing the half-life decay:

A=A_o\times2^{(-\frac{t}{t_{half}})_{}_{}}

A is the resulting amount after t time

Ao is the initial amount = 50 mg

t= Elapsed time

t half is the half-life of the substance = 14.3 days

We replace the know values into the equation to have an exponential decay function for a 50mg sample

A=\text{ 50 }\times2^{\frac{-t}{14.3}}

That would be the answer for a)

To know the P-32 remaining after 84 days we have to replace this value in the equation:

\begin{gathered} A=\text{ 50 }\times2^{\frac{-84}{14.3}} \\ A=0.85\text{ mg} \end{gathered}

So, after 84 days the P-32 remaining will be 0.85 mg
