Answer:

Electrons at the outermost energy level of an atom are called valence electrons. They determine many of the properties of an element. That's because these electrons are involved in chemical reactions with other atoms. Shared electrons bind atoms together to form chemical compounds.

The average propane cylinder for a residential grill holds approximately 18 kg of propane. How much energy (in kJ) is released b

brilliants [131]

Combustion is a chemical reaction between a fuel and an oxidant, oxygen, to give off combustion products and heat. Complete combustion results when all of the fuel is consumed to form carbon dioxide and water, as in the case of a hydrocarbon fuel. Incomplete combustion results when insufficient oxygen reacts with the fuel, forming soot and carbon monoxide.

The complete combustion of propane proceeds through the following reaction:
$C_{3} H_{8}$ + $5O_{2}$ --> $3CO_{2}$ + $4H_{2}O$

Combustion is an exothermic reaction, which means that it gives off heat as the reaction proceeds. For the complete combustion of propane, the heat of combustion is (-)2220 kJ/mole, where the minus sign indicates that the reaction is exothermic.

The molar mass of propane is 44.1 grams/mole. Using this value, the number of moles propane to be burned can be determined from the mass of propane given. Afterwards, this number of moles is multiplied by the heat of combustion to give the total heat produced from the reaction of the given mass of propane.

14.50 kg propane x 1000 g x 1 mole propane x 2220 kJ 
1 kg 44.1 g 1 mole

= 729,931.97 kJ

If a Kleenex box has a length of 8cm, width or 2cm, and a height of 4cm what is the volume of the Kleenex box?

Anettt [7]

Answer:

The volume of the Kleenex box is 64 cm.

Explanation:

Volume = B x W x H

So: V = 8cm x 2cm x 4cm = 64cm

What is the age of mummified primate skin that contains 8.25% of the original quantity of 14C?

rjkz [21]

Answer:

20619.4793 years

Explanation:

The half life of carbon-14 = 5730 years

The formula for the half life for a first order kinetic reaction is:

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

Where,

$t_{1/2}$ is the half life

k is the rate constant.

Thus rate constant is:

5730 years=ln(2)/k

k = 1.21×10⁻⁴ years ⁻¹

Using integrated rate law as:

$ln\ \frac {A_t}{A_0}=-k\times t$

Where,

$A_t$ is the concentration at time t

$A_0$ is the initial concentration

Given that the final concentration contains 8.25 % of the original quantity which means that:

$\frac {A_t}{A_0}=0.0825$

So,

ln(.0825)= -1.21×10⁻⁴×t

t = 20619.4793 years

What part of a wind turbine provides motion to convert into electricity?

sineoko [7]

This is somewhat of a misleading question, because all of these elements are necessary to convert motion into electricity at some point, but the generator is the last in line.
