Answer:

The hotness or pungency of chilli is due to presence of a group of compounds called capsaicinoids. Among capsaicinoids, capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin are present in major quantities, while homocapsaicin, nordihydrocapsaicin and homo-dihydrocapsaicin are present in very small quantities.

The chemical reaction shown above takes place in a closed system. What is true about the system while the reaction occurs? A. Th
Ede4ka [16]

<u>Answer:</u> In a chemical reaction, the total mass of the particles in the system stays the same

<u>Explanation:</u>

Law of conservation of mass states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.  

This also means that total mass on the reactant side must be equal to the total mass on the product side in a chemical reaction.

Every balanced chemical reaction follows law of conservation of mass.

<u>For Example:</u> Formation of water molecule

2H_2+O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O

Total mass on reactant side = [2(2\times 1)+(2\times 16)]=36g/mol

Total mass on product side = [2((2\times 1)+16)]=36g/mol

Hence, in a chemical reaction, the total mass of the particles in the system stays the same

PLEASE HELP

Answer:

P2≈393.609Kpa so I think the answer is 394 kPa

Explanation:

PV=mRT Ideal Gas Law

m and R are constant because they dont change for the problem. That means

PV/T=mR = constant

so P1*V1/T1=P2*V2/T2 and note that the temperatures are in absolute temperatures (Kelvin) because you can't divide by zero.

So P2 = P1*V1*T2/(V2*T1) = 101325 Pa * 700 mL * 303K/(200 mL*273K)

P2 = 393609 Pa
