Answer:

motor oil

Explanation:

According to Oxford dictionary, viscosity refers to ''a quantity expressing the magnitude of internal friction in a fluid, as measured by the force per unit area resisting uniform flow.''

The higher the molecular weight of a substance, the greater its viscosity. This is because, the long chains in the viscous substance become entangled thereby increasing the internal friction in the liquid.

Motor oil is a heavier hydrocarbon than gasoline hence it is more viscous than gasoline.

Properties of carbon responsible for the pressence of millions of organic compound

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

Carbon has the ability to form very long chains of interconnecting C-C bonds. This property allows carbon to form the backbone of organic compounds, carbon-containing compounds, which are the basis of all known organic life. Nearly 10 million carbon-containing organic compounds are known.

Using the following reaction (depicted using molecular models), large quantities of ammonia are burned in the presence of a plat

Mila [183]

Answer:

17.65 grams of O2 are needed for a complete reaction.

Explanation:

You know the reaction:

4 NH₃ + 5 O₂ --------> 4 NO + 6 H₂O

First you must know the mass that reacts by stoichiometry of the reaction (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction). For that you must first know the reacting mass of each compound. You know the values of the atomic mass of each element that form the compounds:

N: 14 g/mol
H: 1 g/mol
O: 16 g/mol

So, the molar mass of the compounds in the reaction is:

NH₃: 14 g/mol + 3*1 g/mol= 17 g/mol
O₂: 2*16 g/mol= 32 g/mol
NO: 14 g/mol + 16 g/mol= 30 g/mol
H₂O: 2*1 g/mol + 16 g/mol= 18 g/mol

By stoichiometry, they react and occur in moles:

NH₃: 4 moles
O₂: 5 moles
NO: 4 moles
H₂O: 6 moles

Then in mass, by stoichiomatry they react and occur:

NH₃: 4 moles*17 g/mol= 68 g
O₂: 5 moles*32 g/mol= 160 g
NO: 4 moles*30 g/mol= 120 g
H₂O: 6 moles*18 g/mol= 108 g

Now to calculate the necessary mass of O₂ for a complete reaction, the rule of three is applied as follows: if by stoichiometry 68 g of NH₃ react with 160 g of O₂, 7.5 g of NH₃ with how many grams of O₂ will it react?

$mass of O_{2} =\frac{7.5 g of NH_{3} * 160 g of O_{2} }{68 g of NH_{3} }$

mass of O₂≅17.65 g

<u><em>17.65 grams of O2 are needed for a complete reaction.</em></u>
