<span>0.127 moles The formula for nitroglycerin is C3H5N3O9 so let's first calculate the molar mass of it. Carbon = 12.0107 Nitrogen = 14.0067 Hydrogen = 1.00794 Oxygen = 15.999 C3H5N3O9 = 3 * 12.0107 + 5 * 1.00794 + 3 * 14.0067 + 9 * 15.999 = 227.0829 Now calculate the number of moles of nitroglycerin you have by dividing the mass by the molar mass 2.50 ml * 1.592 g/ml / 227.0829 g/mol = 0.017527 mol The balanced formula for when nitroglycerin explodes is 4 C3H5N3O9 => 12 CO2 + 10 H2O + O2 + 6 N2 Since all of the products are gasses at the time of the explosion, there is a total of 29 moles of gas produced for every 4 moles of nitroglycerin Now multiply the number of moles of nitroglycerin by 29/4 0.017527 mol * 29/4 = 0.12707075 moles Round to 3 significant figures, giving 0.127 moles</span>

Nuetrik [128]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

B.  0.33 mol

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given;

Gauge pressure, P = 61 kPa (but 1 atm = 101.325 kPa)

                               = 0.602 atm

Volume, V = 5.2 liters

Temperature, T = 32°C, but K = °C + 273.15

thus, T = 305.15 K

We are required to determine the number of moles of air.

We are going to use the concept of ideal gas equation.

  • According to the ideal gas equation, PV = nRT, where P is the pressure, V is the volume, R is the ideal gas constant, (0.082057 L.atm mol.K, n is the number of moles and T is the absolute temperature.
  • Therefore, to find the number of moles we replace the variables in the equation.
  • Note that the total ball pressure will be given by the sum of atmospheric pressure and the gauge
  • Therefore;
  • Total pressure = Atmospheric pressure + Gauge pressure  

       We know atmospheric pressure is 101.325 kPa or 1 atm

Total ball pressure = 1 atm + 0.602 atm

                               = 1.602 atm

That is;

PV = nRT

n = PV ÷ RT

therefore;

n = (1.602 atm× 5.2 L) ÷ (0.082057 × 305.15 K)

  = 0.3326 moles

  = 0.33 moles

Therefore, there are 0.33 moles of air in the ball.

Enter the chemical equation 2H+(aq)+S2−(aq)→H2S(g). Express your answer as a chemical equation.
amm1812

Answer : The complete chemical equation is,

2H^+(aq)+S^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow H_2S(aq)

Explanation :

As we know that, in a chemical equation the reacting species present on left side and the product formed present on right side and a right arrow inserted between the reactants and product that show a chemical reaction taking place.

In the chemical reaction, the phases of the substances are also included and subscripts and superscripts are also used for the numbers.

For the given chemical reaction, the balanced chemical equation including the phases, is given by:

2H^+(aq)+S^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow H_2S(aq)

Calculate the ratio of effusion rates of cl2 to f2 .
Lelechka [254]
<span>Answer: Graham's law of gaseous effusion states that the rate of effusion goes by the inverse root of the gas' molar mass. râšM = constant Therefore for two gases the ratio rates is given by: r1 / r2 = âš(M2 / M1) For Cl2 and F2: r(Cl2) / r(F2) = âš{(37.9968)/(70.906)} = 0.732 (to 3.s.f.)</span>
