Answer:

a. Yes, it is flammable.

b. It can cause hazard and carcinogenic effect.

Explanation:

A. Yes, the vapor in the vessel is flammable because it is an organic solvent with a very low boiling point. For this reason, less energy can vaporize it. Therfore, a little high temperature or energy causes it to be very reactive and flammable.

B. - Being flammable makes it hazardous, that is, it is capable of being ignited and can burn easily, which makes it really dangerous.

- It results in carcinogenic effect on the body. Substances that cause carcinogenic effect are capable of increasing the risk of cancer. They might contain compounds that can initiate tumor.

When the temperature is high, the risk of explosion increases. Due to the fact that at higher temperature, the kinetic energy of the atoms which result in an increase in the volume and finally blasting of the vessel.

If 8.0 g of NH4HS(s) is placed in a sealed vessel with a volume of 1.0 L and heated to 200 ∘C the reaction NH4HS(s) ⇌ NH3(g) + H
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Increasing the volume of the vessel

Explanation:

By the Le Chatelier's principle, if a system in equilibrium suffer a variation that disturbs the equilibriu, the reaction shift in the way to minimize the pertubation and re-establish the equilibrium.

For a variation in pressure, when it increases, the reaction shift for the smallest of gas volume, and if decreases, the reaction will shift for the large gas volume. So, for the reaction given, the products have the large amount of gas, so by decreasing the pressure, more products will be formed, and the amount of NH₄HS will reduce. To decrease the pressure, we can increase the volume of the vessel: for the ideal gas equation (PV= nRT), pressure and volume are indirectly proportional.

What is the molarity of a solution that contains 2.35 g of nh3 in 0.0500 l of solution?
tankabanditka [31]
The molarity is the number of moles in 1 L of the solution. 
The mass of NH₃ given - 2.35 g
Molar mass of NH₃ - 17 g/mol
The number of NH₃ moles in 2.35 g - 2.35 g / 17 g/mol = 0.138 mol
The number of moles in 0.05 L solution - 0.138 mol 
Therefore number of moles in 1 L - 0.138 mol / 0.05 L x 1L = 2.76 mol
Therefore molarity of NH₃ - 2.76 M

How long would it take for 1.50 mol of water at 100.0 ∘c to be converted completely into steam if heat were added at a constant
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
To determine the time it takes to completely vaporize the given amount of water, we first determine the total heat that is being absorbed from the process. To do this, we need information on the latent heat of vaporization of water. This heat is being absorbed by the process of phase change without any change in the temperature of the system. For water, it is equal to 40.8 kJ / mol.

Total heat = 40.8 kJ / mol ( 1.50 mol ) = 61.2 kJ of heat is to be absorbed

Given the constant rate of 19.0 J/s supply of energy to the system, we determine the time as follows:

Time = 61.2 kJ ( 1000 J / 1 kJ ) / 19.0 J/s = 3221.05 s

Differences between allotropy and isotopy​
raketka [301]

Answer:

Property of an element by virtue of which it exists in two or more forms which differ only in their physical properties is known as allotropy. Allotropes are the different physical forms in which the element can exist. Allotropes are different physical forms of the same element.

Also-

Allotropes are different forms of the same element in the molecular level. Isotopes are different forms of atoms of the same chemical element. The key difference between allotropes and isotopes is that allotropes are considered at the molecular level, whereas isotopes are considered at the atomic leve
