Acetylene (C2H2), an important fuel in welding, is produced in the laboratory when calcium carbide (CaC2) reacts with water: CaC
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

There are 1.287 grams of acetylene collected

Explanation:

Total gas pressure = 909 mmHg

Vapor pressure of water = 20.7 mmHg

Pressure of acetylene = 909 mmHg - 20.7 mmHg = 888.3 mmHg

1mmHg = 1 torr

22 ° C + 273.15 = 295.15 Kelvin

Ideal gas law ⇒ pV = nRT

⇒ with p = pressure of the gas in atm

⇒ with V = volume of the gas in L

⇒ with n = amount of substance of gas ( in moles)

⇒ with R = gas constant, equal to the product of the Boltzmann constant and the Avogadro constant (62.36 L * Torr *K^−1 *mol^−1)

⇒ with T = absolute temperature of the gas (in Kelvin)

888.3 torr * 1.024 L = n * 62.36 L * Torr *K^−1 *mol^−1 * 295.15 K

n = 0.04942 moles of C2H2

Mass of C2H2 = 0.04942 moles x 26.04 g/mole = 1.287 g

There are 1.287 grams of acetylene collected

Talja [164]

Answer:

About 60.

Explanation:

Mendeleev knew of 63 elements. He wrote their properties on cards and arranged them in order of atomic mass.

That's how he discovered that the properties of elements are periodic functions of their atomic masses.

Equilibrium describes the balance that results from a forward and reverse reaction proceeding at equal rates. Since reaction rat
Delvig [45]

Answer:

b) the reaction proceeds to a new equilibrium in the direction that offsets the change.

Explanation:

According to Le Chatelier's principle, when a system experiences a constraint such as a change in pressure, temperature or concentration, the system will readjust itself in order to annul the constraint.

This simply means that when temperature, concentration or pressure is changed, a new equilibrium position is reached in order to offset the changes in the system.

Pollen is transferred from the stamen of one flower to the stigma of another. What has occurred?
Digiron [165]
Cross-pollination is the transfer of pollen from the anther of one flower to the stigma of another flower on a different individual of the same species. Self-pollination occurs in flowers where the stamen and carpel mature at the same time, and are positioned so that the pollen can land on the flower's stigma.
