Answer:

The mass % of ethane is 29.1 %

Explanation:

Step 1: data given

Mass of gaseous mixture = 9.780 grams

Mixture contains ethane and propane

Moles of oxygen needed = 1.120 moles

Molar mass O2 = 32 g/mol

Molar mass of ethane = 30.07 g/mol

Molar mass of propane = 44.1 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equations

C2H6 + 7/2 O2 → 2CO2 + 3H2O

C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O

Step 3: Calculate moles

n(C2H6) / n(O2)  = 1 / 3.5 = 1/X

m(C2H6) = 3.5x mole * 30.07 g/mol

n(C3H8) /n(O2) = 1/5 = x / (1.12 -x)

m(C3H8) = (1.12 - x) /5  * 44.1 g/mol

3.5 * 30x + 1/5 *44.1 (1.12-x) = 9.780 grams

x = 0.3325 moles

Step 4: Calculate mass ethane

2/7 * 30*0.3325 = 2.85 grams

Step 5: Calculate % of ethane

% ethane = (2.85 grams / 9.78 grams ) * 100%

% ethane = 29.1 %

The mass % of ethane is 29.1 %

When body temperature rises during physical activity, which thermoregulatory response is stimulated?
navik [9.2K]

Answer: Heat dissipation mechanism

Explanation: Heat dissipation mechanism is a thermoregulatory response in humans whereby the hypothalamus of the brain initiates certain processes to reduce the high body temperature. Eg, sweating is initiated which helps cool down the body temperature, also superficial arteries are dilated, thereby leading to flushing and decreasing heatloss into the air. And metabolic heat production is also reduced.

Forces between similar molecules are said to be
podryga [215]

Answer:

Forces between similar molecules are said to be <em>cohesive</em> while those between different types of molecules are said to be <em>adhesive</em>.

Water 'beads' due to its strong <em>cohesive</em> forces. The meniscus of water in a glass tube is <em>concave</em> because the <em>adhesive</em> forces are strong.

Explanation:

The water in a tube has stronger adhesive forces between the water and glass molecules, so the cohesive forces between water molecules are weaker. That makes the water 'ascend' through the tube, giving a concave form of the meniscus. Another example is mercury, which is the opposite. In this case, the cohesive forces are stronger than the adhesive ones, thus the meniscus is convex.

How many half-lives are required for the concentration of reactant to decrease to 1.56% of its original value?4247.56.56
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

6 half-lives are required for the concentration of reactant to decrease to 1.56% of its original value.

Explanation:

Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:

[A_t]=[A_0]e^{-kt}

Where,

[A_t] is the concentration at time t

[A_0] is the initial concentration

Given:

Concentration is decreased to 1.56 % which means that 0.0156 of [A_0] is decomposed. So,

\frac {[A_t]}{[A_0]} = 0.0156

Thus,

\frac {[A_t]}{[A_0]}=e^{-k\times t}

0.0156=e^{-k\times t}

kt = 4.1604

The expression for the half life is:-

Half life = 15.0 hours

t_{1/2}=\frac {ln\ 2}{k}

Where, k is rate constant

So,  

k=\frac {ln\ 2}{t_{1/2}}

\frac{4.1604}{t}=\frac {ln\ 2}{t_{1/2}}

t = 6\times t_{1/2}

<u>6 half-lives are required for the concentration of reactant to decrease to 1.56% of its original value.</u>
