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.

Consider a sample of a hydrocarbon (a compound consisting of only carbon and hydrogen) at 0.959 atm and 298 K. Upon combusting t
Masja [62]

Answer:

Molecular formula of hydrocarbon is: C₂H₆

Explanation:

The combusting of the hydrocarbon:

CxHy + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O

Using gas law to obtain molar mass of the gas mixture (CO₂ + H₂O):

P/RT = n/V

Where:

P is pressure (1,208 atm)

R is gas constant (0,082 atmL/molK)

T is temperature (375 K)

n/V = 0,0393 mol/L

1,1128 g/L ÷ 0,0393 mol/L = 28,32 g/mol

Thus, average molecular weight is:

28,32 g/mol = 44,01 g/mol X + 18,02 g/mol Y

1 = X + Y

Where X is CO₂ molar percentage and Y is H₂O molar percentage.

Solving:

X = 0,397

Y = 0,603

39,7% H₂O

60,3% CO₂

With this proportion you can obtain ratio CO₂:H₂O thus:

60,3/39,7 = 1,52 So, 2 CO₂: 3H₂O

The moles of the hydrocarbon are:

PV/RT = n

P (0,959 atm)

V ( 1/5 of final volume)

T (298K)

n = 7,85x10⁻³ mol

The moles of CO₂ are:

0,0393 mol × 2 mol CO₂/ 5 mol total =0,01572.

Ratio of CO₂:CxHY =

0,01572 : 7,85x10⁻³ 2 CO₂: 1 CxHY

Doing:

1 CxHy + O₂ → 2 CO₂ + 3 H₂O

By mass balance:

1 C₂H₆ + 7/2 O₂  → 2 CO₂ + 3 H₂O

Thus, molecular formula of hydrocarbon is: <em>C₂H₆ </em>

I hope it helps!
