Gasoline use contributes to air pollution
Gasoline is a toxic and highly flammable liquid. The vapors given off when gasoline evaporates and the substances produced when gasoline is burned (carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and unburned hydrocarbons) contribute to air pollution. Burning gasoline also produces carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas.
The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:
There are two steps in the usual industrial preparation of acrylic acid, the immediate precursor of several useful plastics. In the first step, calcium carbide and water react to form acetylene and calcium hydroxide:
In the second step, acetylene, carbon dioxide and water react to form acrylic acid:
Write the net chemical equation for the production of acrylic acid from calcium carbide, water and carbon dioxide. Be sure your equation is balanced.
<u>Answer:</u> The net chemical equation is written below.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The intermediate balanced chemical reaction are:
(1) ( × 6 )
(2)
To omit acetylene from the net chemical reaction, we multiply Equation (1) by 6.
<u>Equation 1:</u> 
<u>Equation 2:</u>
<u>Net chemical equation:</u> 
Hence, the net chemical equation is written above.
Answer:
Specific heat of metal = 0.26 j/g.°C
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of sample = 80.0 g
Initial temperature = 55.5 °C
Final temperature = 81.75 °C
Amount of heat absorbed = 540 j
Specific heat of metal = ?
Solution:
Specific heat capacity:
It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree.
Formula:
Q = m.c. ΔT
Q = amount of heat absorbed or released
m = mass of given substance
c = specific heat capacity of substance
ΔT = change in temperature
ΔT = 81.75 °C - 55.5 °C
ΔT = 26.25 °C
540 j = 80 g × c × 26.25 °C
540 j = 2100 g.°C× c
540 j / 2100 g.°C = c
c = 0.26 j/g.°C
When you pass around the side dishes at this year's Thanksgiving feast, here's one thing to be thankful for: you're eating mashed potatoes instead of mashed paper towels. But if you were chewing on the towels instead of the spuds, would you even know it.
Answer:
Aluminum iodide (AlI₃)
Explanation:
The synthesis reaction of aluminum (Al) and iodine (I) can be illustrated as shown below:
Aluminium exhibit trivalent positive ion (Al³⁺)
Iodine exhibit univalent negative ion (I¯)
During reaction, there will be an exchange of ion as shown below:
Al³⁺ + I¯ —> AlI₃
Thus, we can write the balanced equation for the reaction as follow:
Al + I₂ —› AlI₃
There are 2 atoms of I on the left side and 3 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of AlI₃ and 3 in front of I₂ as shown below:
Al + 3I₂ —› 2AlI₃
There are 2 atoms of Al on the right side and 1 atom on the left side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of Al as shown below:
2Al + 3I₂ —› 2AlI₃
Thus the equation is balanced.
The product on the reaction is aluminum iodide (AlI₃)
