Why is it not advisable to light a charcoal stove in limited supply of oxygen.​

Chemistry
1 answer:
hammer [34]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Due to the limited supply of oxygen, carbon (ii) oxide, a poisonous gas, is produced instead of carbon(iv) from the burning charcoal stove and this may result in death when inhaled.

Explanation:

When charcoal is burnt in a plentiful supply of oxygen, the combustion products is carbon (iv) oxide (carbon dioxide) which is not very toxic to the human body. The equation of the reaction is given below:

C + O₂ ----> CO₂

However, in a limited supply of oxygen gas, the combustion product is carbon  (ii) oxide. The equation of the reaction is given below:

2C + O₂ ----> 2CO

Carbon (ii) oxide is a colorless and odorless gas which unlike carbon (iv) oxide is very toxic to human and results in fatality when inhaled in even small doses for a few minutes. Its mechanism of action of toxicity is that it competes with oxygen for transport in the body by hemoglobin. It combines irreversibly with hemoglobin to form carboxyhemoglobin, thereby depriving tissues and cells the oxygen they need. This results in death of the cells and tissues as well as of the whole organism. Thus, it is not advisable to light a charcoal stove in limited supply of oxygen.

Diethyl ether is produced from ethanol according to the following equation:
juin [17]
The balanced chemical equation is given as:

2CH3CH2OH(l) → CH3CH2OCH2CH3(l) + H2O(l)

We are given the yield of  CH3CH2OCH2CH3 and the amount of ethanol to be used for the reaction. These values will be the starting point for the calculations.

Theoretical amount of product produced:
329 g CH3CH2OH ( 1 mol / 46.07 g ) ( 1 mol CH3CH2OCH2CH3 / 2 mol CH3CH2OH ) (74.12 g / mol ) = 264.66 g CH3CH2OCH2CH3 

% yield = .775 = actual yield / 264.66


actual yield = 205.11 g CH3CH2OCH2CH3

Electrical energy is used to turn the blades of a fan. The amount of energy transformed is seen here: 750 J electrical energy is
Alchen [17]

B) It was transformed into 350 J of heat energy.

Explanation:

The remaining 350J of energy must have been transformed into 350J of heat energy.

A fan works by converting electrical energy into heat energy.

  • According to the third law of thermodynamics "no system is 100% efficient". The conversion of the energy from one form to another involves a lost in energy.
  • Heat is one very familiar way by which energy can be lost.
  • Some component energy is used to heat the fan in the process and it is a wasted energy.
  • Friction surfaces a heat energy in this process.

Is o-toluic acid soluble in ether, NaOH?, Is Napthalene soluble in NaOH?
natima [27]
Yes, o-toluic acid is soluble in ether as ether is slightly polar and it is soluble in NaOH because it is likely to form soluble compounds with it.

Naphthalene is insoluble in NaOH.

Hydrofluoric acid and Water react to form fluoride anion and hydronium cation, like this HF(aq) + H_2O(l) rightarrow F(aq) + H_3
maksim [4K]

Answer:

Kc = 1.09x10⁻⁴

Explanation:

<em>HF = 1.62g</em>

<em>H₂O = 516g</em>

<em>F⁻ = 0.163g</em>

<em>H₃O⁺ = 0.110g</em>

<em />

To solve this question we need to find the moles of each reactant in order to solve the molar concentration of each reactan and replacing in the Kc expression. For the reaction, the Kc is:

Kc = [H₃O⁺] [F⁻] / [HF]

<em>Because Kc is defined as the ratio between concentrations of products over reactants powered to its reaction coefficient. Pure liquids as water are not taken into account in Kc expression:</em>

<em />

[H₃O⁺] = 0.110g * (1mol /19.01g) = 0.00579moles / 5.6L = 1.03x10⁻³M

[F⁻] = 0.163g * (1mol /19.0g) = 0.00858moles / 5.6L = 1.53x10⁻³M

[HF] = 1.62g * (1mol /20g) = 0.081moles / 5.6L = 0.0145M

Kc = [1.03x10⁻³M] [1.53x10⁻³M] / [0.0145M]

<h3>Kc = 1.09x10⁻⁴</h3>

chegg write a net ionic equation describing the oxidation of no2 2 to no3 2 by o2 in a basic solution.
Marina86 [1]

When the same species undergoes both oxidation and reduction in a single redox reaction, this is referred to as a disproportionation. Therefore, divide it into two equal reactions.

NO2→NO^−3

NO2→NO

and do the usual changes

First, balance the two half reactions:

3. NO2 +H2O →NO^−3 + 2 H^+ + e−

4. NO2 +2 H^+ + 2e− → NO + H2O

Now multiply one or both half-reactions to ensure that each has the same number of electrons. Here, Eqn (3) x 2 results in each half-reaction having two electrons:

5. 2 NO2 + 2 H2O → 2 NO^−3 + 4H^+ + 2e−

Now add Eqn 4 and 5 (the electrons now cancel each other):

3NO2 + 2H^+ + 2H2O → NO + 2 NO−3 + H2O + 4H+

and cancel terms that’s common to both sides:

3NO2 + H2O → NO + 2NO^−3 + 2H+

This is the net ionic equation describing the oxidation of NO2 to NO3 in basic solution.
