A fuse is a safety device that stops the flow of electricity when a circuit overheats

Chemistry
1 answer:
allsm [11]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Fuses are built as a safety measure if there is too much current flowing through a circuit. ... However, if an electrical current exceeds the maximum current allowed within that fuse it will overheat and cause the metal strip to melt. The destroyed metal strip breaks the connection and stops electricity flowing through.

In 1–2 sentences, explain why weather can be predicted only as probable, not definite.
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

Meteorologists use computer models to predict the weather. And computational power has come an extended way. Yet meteorologists still have trouble correctly predicting the weather over some days. Sometimes they don’t even comprehend right over 24 hours! Why does this happen? Their ability to predict the weather is restricted by the number of available data, the time available to research it, and therefore the complexity of weather events.

Problem PageQuestion Sulfuric acid is essential to dozens of important industries from steelmaking to plastics and pharmaceutica
Feliz [49]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Sulfuric acid is essential to dozens of important industries from steel making to plastics and pharmaceuticals. More sulfuric acid is made than any other industrial chemical, and world production exceeds  2.0×10¹¹ kg per year.

The first step in the synthesis of sulfuric acid is usually burning solid sulfur to make sulfur dioxide gas. Suppose an engineer studying this reaction introduces 1.8 kg of solid sulfur and 10.0 atm of oxygen gas at 650°C  into an evacuated 50.0 L tank. The engineer believes Kp = 0.099 for the reaction at this temperature.

Calculate the mass of solid sulfur he expects to be consumed when the reaction reaches equilibrium. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of solid sulfur that will be consumed is 19. grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

The chemical equation for the formation of sulfur dioxide gas follows:

                    S(s)+O_2\rightarrow SO_2(g)

<u>Initial:</u>                   10.0

<u>At eqllm:</u>              10-x         x

The expression of K_p for above equation follows:

K_p=\frac{p_{SO_2}}{p_{O_2}}

We are given:

K_p=0.099

Putting values in above expression, we get:

0.099=\frac{x}{10-x}\\\\x=0.901atm

Partial pressure of sulfur dioxide = x = 0.901 atm

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation given by ideal gas which follows:

PV=nRT

where,

P = pressure of the sulfur dioxide gas = 0.901 atm

V = Volume of the gas = 50.0 L

T = Temperature of the gas = 650^oC=[650+273]K=923K

R = Gas constant = 0.0821\text{ L. atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}

n = number of moles of sulfur dioxide gas = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.901atm\times 50.0L=n\times 0.0821\text{ L. atm}mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 923K\\\\n=\frac{0.901\times 50.0}{0.0821\times 923}=0.594mol

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of sulfur dioxide gas is produced from 1 mole of sulfur

So, 0.594 moles of sulfur dioxide gas will be produced from = \frac{1}{1}\times 0.594=0.594mol of sulfur

  • To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Moles of sulfur = 0.594 moles

Molar mass of sulfur = 32 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.594mol=\frac{\text{Mass of sulfur}}{32g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of sulfur}=(0.594mol\times 32g/mol)=19.008g

Hence, the mass of solid sulfur that will be consumed is 19. grams

1 mole S -------------- 1 mole SO2
? moles S ------------ 0.567 moles SO2

0,567 x 1 / 1

= 0.567 moles of S
