C5H12, pentane, is a liquid at room temperature.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Art [367]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

C)We cannot be sure unless we find out its boiling point.

Explanation:

It is necessary to clearly explain here that simply observing two compounds of the same homologous series irrespective of how close they may be in the series will not give us the faintest idea regarding which one will be a liquid, solid or gas at room temperature.

However, to determine whether an unknown substance will be a liquid at room temperature, then its important to measure its boiling point. If the boiling point is above room temperature, and the melting point is below room temperature, the compound is a liquid. If the boiling point of the unknown substance is below room temperature, it is a gas.

It is now safe to conclude that cannot decide on the state of matter in which a compound exists unless we know something about its boiling point, not merely looking closely at the properties of its neighbouring compounds in the same homologous series

Which has not been suggested as a reasonably practical way to store large amounts of hydrogen in relatively small spaces for its
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer: A. Liquefy hydrogen under pressure and store it much as we do with liquefied natural gas today.

Explanation:

Current Hydrogen storage methods fall into one of two technologies;

  1. <em>physical storage</em> where compressed hydrogen gas is stored under pressure or as a liquid; and
  2. <em>chemical storage</em>, where the hydrogen is bonded with another material to form a hydride and released through a chemical reaction.

Physical storage solutions are commonly used technologies but are problematic when looking at using hydrogen to fuel vehicles. Compressed hydrogen gas needs to be stored under high pressure and  requires large and heavy tanks. Also, liquid hydrogen boils at -253°C (-423°F) so it needs to be stored cryogenically with heavy insulation and actually contains less hydrogen compared with the same volume of gasoline.  

Chemical storage methods allow hydrogen to be stored at much lower pressures and offer high storage performance due to the strong binding of hydrogen and the high storage densities. They also occupy relatively smaller spaces than either compressed hydrogen gas or liquified hydrogen. A large number of chemical storage systems are under investigation, which involve hydrolysis reactions, hydrogenation/dehydrogenation reactions, ammonia borane and other boron hydrides, ammonia, and alane etc.

Other practical storage methods being researched that focuses on storing hydrogen as a lightweight, compact energy carrier for mobile applications include;

  • Metal hydrides  e.g. LiH
  • Nanostructured metal hydrides
  • Non-metal hydrides
  • Carbohydrates
  • Synthesized hydrocarbons
  • Aluminum
  • Liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHC)
  • Encapsulation , e.t.c.

The enthalpy of formation of water is –285.8 kJ/mol. What can be inferred from this statement?
LiRa [457]
A negative formation enthalpy means that the reaction is exothermic, or that heat is released during the process.

One hour of bicycle riding can require 500-900 kcal of energy, depending on the speed, the terrain, and the weight of the racer.
solniwko [45]

Answer:

145 hours

Explanation:

Since one hour of riding a bicycle takes up 505 kcal of energy. It is also stated that one gram of body fat is equal to 7.70 kcal. Also, it is given that 1 pound of body fat is equal to 454 g.

Hence;

1 Ib= 454 g

21 Ib= 21 × 454/1 = 9534 g

But

1g of body fat = 7.70kcal

9534 g of body fat = 9534 × 7.70 kcal/1 = 73411.8 kcal

If 505 kcal is lost in 1 hour

73411.8 kcal is lost in 73411.8 kcal × 1hour/505k cal = 145 hours

Each of three identical 15.0-L gas cylinders contains 7.50 mol of gas at 295 K. Cylinder A contains Ne, cylinder B contains NO2,
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

d) All have identical pressures

Explanation:

The kinetic molecular theory explains how gas molecules behave in a container. By this theory, the gas particles behave like hard, spherical objects in a state of constant, random motion; these particles collide between them and at the walls of the container. Besides, the kinetic energy of the gas depends only on the temperature.

The pressure is the force that the particles are applying under some area, so by the theory, it depends on the number of moles (amount of particles that collides and make the force), the volume of the container and the kinetic energy, or the temperature.

Because all gases have the same number of moles and are at the same temperature and the same volume, they'll have the same pressure.
