In the manufacture of steel, pure oxygen is blown through molten iron to remove some of the carbon impurity. if the combustion o

f carbon is efficient, carbon dioxide (density = 1.80 g/l) is produced. incomplete combustion produces the poisonous gas carbon monoxide (density - 1.15 g/l) and should be avoided. if you measure a gas density of 1.77 g/l, what can you conclude?

In the extraction process of steel, one of the step is purification of the iron used to make the steel. In which pure oxygen is blown on the steel at high temperature so that the carbon percentage present in the steel can be thrown out in the form of gas. The process occurs at high temperature which is called combustion process. The reaction occurs can be shown as- C(s)+O_{2}→CO_{2} (g) + CO (g). In presence of excess oxygen, the produced carbon mono oxide (CO) converts to carbon di-oxide. The reaction is CO(g) + O_{2}(g) → CO_{2} (g). From the density of the evolved gas one could identify the gas. If the gas density is 1.77g/L which is very close to the standard density of CO_{2} i.e. 1.80g/L, the gas is carbon dioxide only.

Answer:

We can conclude that the gas evolved was carbon dioxide.

Explanation:

On an efficient combustion that is on complete combustion of carbon, carbon dioxide is produced.

C+O_2\rightarrow CO_2 (Complete combustion)

But during incomplete combustion of carbon results in formation of carbon monoxide (poisons gas).

2C+O_2\rightarrow 2CO (Incomplete combustion)

Theoretical value density of carbon dioxide = 1.80 g/L

Theoretical value density of carbon monoxide = 1.15 g/L

Experimental measured density of the gas = 1.77 g/L

1.77 g/L ≈ 1.80 g/L

Since, the experimental measured density of the gas is more closer to theoretical value of density of carbon dioxide from which we can conclude that  'the gas evolved after the combustion of carbon impurity was carbon dioxide'.

Why are fixed resistors’ values indicated by color bands rather than printing the numeric value on their exterior?
gladu [14]
Because there are so many different values of numbers, it would be impractical to use 1Ω, 2Ω, 3Ω... etc... Using colored bands helps make reading it a little easier to the trained eye. There are hundreds of thousands, if not tens of millions of different resistors would need to exist to cover every value. So you just use something called "preferred values" with their resistance values posted on them instead.

Why do airbags fill evenly with gases?
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

The signal from the deceleration sensor ignites the gas-generator mixture by an electrical impulse, creating the high-temperature condition necessary for NaN3 to decompose. The nitrogen gas that is generated then fills the airbag.

basically, the nitrogen fills the bag

A solution consists of 35.00 g of CuSO4 dissolved in 250.0 mL of water. The molar mass of Cu is 63.55 g/mol the molar mass of S
slamgirl [31]

The molarity of a solution that contains 35.00 g of CuSO4 dissolved in 250.0 mL of water is 0.88M.

<h3>How to calculate molarity?</h3>

The molarity of a solution can be calculated using the following formula:

Molarity = no of moles/volume

According to this question, a solution consists of 35.00 g of CuSO4 dissolved in 250.0 mL of water.

no.of moles of CuSO4 = 35g ÷ 159.6g/mol

no. of moles of CuSO4 = 0.22 moles

Therefore; molarity of CuSO4 solution is calculated as follows:

M = 0.22 ÷ 0.25

M = 0.88M

Therefore, the molarity of a solution that contains 35.00 g of CuSO4 dissolved in 250.0 mL of water is 0.88M.
