10 cubic inches
We will use Boyle's law that states that for a fixed amount of an ideal gas kept at a fixed temperature, pressure and volume are inversely proportional.
P1 V1 = P2 V2
Where
P1 is initial pressure = 5 psi
V1 is initial volume = 20 cubic inch
P2 is final pressure = 10 psi
V2 is final volume = unknown
V2 = P1,V1 / P2
V2 = 20 × 5 / 10
V2 = 100/10
V2 = 10 cubic inches
Answer: Chemicals like acids and bases are harmful and must be neutralized before draining.
Explanation:
A strong acid or strong base is required to be diluted or neutralized before it is discarded in the drain as if is discarded without diluting and neutralization it can spill and splash from sink or drain and can harm people in chemistry lab, moreover the fumes of the discarded chemical on spilling can cause respiratory tract burning and can even cause fire hazard so it must be converted into less harmful form and then must be drained.
Answer:
Hydrogen H₂ will be the limiting reagent.
The excess reactant that will be left after the reaction is 3.45 moles.
4.3 moles of water can be produced.
Explanation:
The balanced reation is:
2 H₂ + O₂ → 2 H₂O
By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of each compound participate in the reaction:
- H₂: 2 moles
- O₂: 1 mole
- H₂O: 2 moles
To determine the limiting reagent, you can use a simple rule of three as follows: if by stoichiometry 1 mole of O₂ reacts with 2 moles of H₂, how much moles of H₂ will be needed if 5.6 moles of O₂ react?

moles of H₂= 11.2 moles
But 11.2 moles of H₂ are not available, 4.3 moles are available. Since you have less moles than you need to react with 5.6 moles of O₂, <u><em>hydrogen H₂ will be the limiting reagent</em></u> and oxygen O₂ will be the excess reagent.
Then you can apply the following rules of three:
- If by reaction stoichiometry 2 moles of H₂ react with 1 mole of O₂, 4.3 moles of H₂ will react with how many moles of O₂?

moles of O₂= 2.15 moles
The excess reactant that will be left after the reaction can be calculated as:
5.6 moles - 2.15 moles= 3.45 moles
<u><em>The excess reactant that will be left after the reaction is 3.45 moles.</em></u>
- If by reaction stoichiometry 2 moles of H₂ produce 2 moles of H₂O, 4.3 moles of H₂ produce how many moles of H₂O?

moles of H₂O= 4.3 moles
<u><em>4.3 moles of water can be produced.</em></u>
Answer:
True
Explanation:
According to Aufbau's principle "sublevels with lower energies are filled up before those with higher energies".
Sublevels do not fill up in numerical order but there is a certain manner in which they are filled. The pattern is shown below:
1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s 3d 4p 5s 4d 5p e.t.c
We see that the 4s gets filled before the 3d sublevel.
