Corn starch, like wood, consists of a carbohydrate complex, which is why it burns – but it will only ignite when it is dispersed in air. While it's packed in the container or in a pile on the counter it will not burst into flames due to insufficient oxygen.

In an open flame because it can not only catch on fire extremely easily but also cause an explosive

The combined gas law states that
seropon [69]

Answer:

Option B. PV = nRT.

Explanation:

From the above,

C = PV / T. (1)

But, C is directly proportional to n, where R is the gas constant i.e

C & n

C = nR

Substituting the value of C into equation (1), we have:

C = PV / T

nR = PV / T

Cross multiply to express in linear form

nRT = PV

Therefore,

PV = nRT

What is the concentration of x2??? in a 0.150 m solution of the diprotic acid h2x? for h2x, ka1=4.5??10???6 and ka2=1.2??10???11
lutik1710 [3]
The first dissociation for H2X:
                        H2X +H2O ↔ HX + H3O
initial                0.15                     0      0
change             -X                     +X      +X
at equlibrium 0.15-X                  X        X
because Ka1 is small we can assume neglect x in H2X concentration
     Ka1      = [HX][H3O]/[H2X]
4.5x10^-6 =( X )(X) / (0.15)
X = √(4.5x10^-6*0.15) 
∴X = 8.2 x 10-4 m
∴[HX] & [H3O] = 8.2x10^-4
the second dissociation of H2X
        HX + H2O↔ X^2 + H3O
    8.2x10^-4          Y         8.2x10^-4
Ka2 for Hx = 1.2x10^-11
Ka2       = [X2][H3O]/[HX]
1.2x10^-11= y (8.2x10^-4)*(8.2x10^-4)
∴y = 1.78x10^-5
∴[X^2] = 1.78x10^-5 m

How much water (H2O ) would form if 4.04 g of hydrogen (H2) reacted with 31.98 g of oxygen (O2 )?
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Mass = 36 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of water formed = ?

Mass of hydrogen = 4.04 g

Mass of oxygen = 31.98 g

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2H₂ + O₂   →   2H₂O

Number of moles of hydrogen:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 4.04 g/ 2 g/mol

Number of moles = 2.02 mol

Number of moles of oxygen:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 31.98 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.0 mol

Now we will compare the moles of water with hydrogen and oxygen.

                O₂         :         H₂O

                 1           :           2

                H₂         :         H₂O

                 2          :          2

               2.02       :      2.02

Number of moles of water formed by oxygen are less thus oxygen will limiting reactant.

Mass of water:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 2 mol × 18 g/mol

Mass = 36 g
