1. When carbon dioxide is bubble through a clear solution of calcium hydroxide, a milky solution of calcium carbonate will be formed. The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is as follows: 
CO2 + Ca[OH]2 = CaCO3 + H2O.
That is, one mole of carbon dioxide react with one mole of calcium hydroxide to produce one mole each of water and calcium carbonate.

2. An acidic oxide is defined as those compounds of oxygen which react with water to form acids or react with bases to form salts. They are usually oxides of metals or of metals in high oxidation states.
 In the chemical equation given in answer 1, one can easily see that carbon dioxide is an acidic oxide because it reacts with calcium hydroxide [which is a base] to produce calcium carbonate, which is a salt.

A sample of CH4 is confined in a water manometer. The temperature of the system is 30.0 °C and the atmospheric pressure is 98.70
kakasveta [241]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

  P_{atm} = 98.70 kPa = 98700 Pa,  

      T = 30^{o}C = (30 + 273) K = 303 K

      height (h) = 30 mm = 0.03 m (as 1 m = 100 mm)

Density = 13.534 g/mL = 13.534 g/mL \times \frac{10^{6}cm^{3}}{1 m^{3}} \times \frac{1 kg}{1000 g}

                = 13534 kg/m^{3}

The relation between pressure and atmospheric pressure is as follows.

             P = P_{atm} + \rho gh

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

            P = P_{atm} + \rho gh

               = 98700 Pa + 13534 \times 9.81 \times 0.03 m

               = 102683.05 Pa

               = 102.68 kPa

thus, we can conclude that the pressure of the given methane gas is 102.68 kPa.

Can pressure affect the solubility of a substance in solution ? Explain
Tema [17]

Solubility is the maximum amount of a substance that will dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a specific temperature. There are two direct factors that affect solubility: temperature and pressure. Temperature affects the solubility of both solids and gases, but pressure only affects the solubility of gases.

The complete combustion of a sample of propane produced 2.641 grams of carbon dioxide and 1.442 grams of water as the only produ
ohaa [14]
A general equation for a combustion reaction would be expressed as follows:

CxHy + (x+y/2)O2 = xCO2 + y/2H2O

Propane would obviously would only have carbon and hydrogen in its structure. Assuming a complete combustion, all of the carbon atoms would go to carbon dioxide and all of the hydrogen atoms to water. To determine the empirical, we determine the number of carbon and hydrogen atoms present.

moles C = 2.461 g CO2 ( 1 mol / 44.01 g ) ( 1 mol C / 1 mol CO2 ) = 0.06 mol C

moles H = 1.442 g H2O ( 1 mol / 18.02 g ) ( 2 mol H / 1 mol H ) = 0.16 mol H

Then, we divide the smallest amount to the each mole of the atoms. We do as follows:

C = 0.06 / 0.06 = 1
H = 0.16 / 0.06 = 2.67

Then we multiply a number in order to obtain a whole number ratio between the atoms.

1        CH2.67
2       C2H5.34
3       C3H8   <-------- empirical formula

What is the function of a lyase enzyme?
elena55 [62]

Answer:

c. To facilitate a reaction of one substrate to form two products without the use of water

Explanation:

A lyase is an enzyme that catalyzes - accelerates the chemical reaction - in which a substrate is broken into two molecules. The reaction does not involve hydrolysis or oxidation, so the water molecule is not included in the chemical reaction. Thus, the enzyme facilitates the reaction in which a molecule (substrate) is decomposed into two molecules with the elimination of chemical bonds.
