candle for  gaseous  product  in  which   the  number each  of  atom  is   the same  to   the number of each atom in reactant  side
C31H64  +47O2 --->31CO2 +32H2O
The sum  of the  masses   of  candle  wax+oxygen  consumed  is  the same as masses of   CO2  and H20  formed
.According  to  the  law  of conservation of mass  the sum  of the  mass  of  the  reagent  must be equal  to   the  sum  of  the  mass  of  the  product

There is a law called The Law of Conservation of Mass: this law states that mass can NEVER be created or destroyed. Therefore, mass simply converts into other forms of mass. For example, as a candle burns some of the candle gets coverted into gases such as water vapor and carbon dioxide. All the mass is still there it just changed fram a solid to a gaseous vapor. Make sense?

What is the benefit of having a limiting reagent when performing a lab experiment
Shalnov [3]

Answer : The role of limiting reagent or reactant is important in a chemical reaction because it can help the chemist to predict that complete amount of reactant is consumed, as it is limiting the reaction, only required moles of products can get formed instead of the theoretical yield where the perfect amount is used.


In short, Limiting reactant in a chemical reaction is the substance that is totally consumed when the chemical reaction is found to be complete.

If a gas has a volume of 750 mL at 25oC, what would the volume of the gas be at 55oC?
blagie [28]

Answer:

The answer to your question is     V2 = 825.5 ml

Explanation:

Data

Volume 1 = 750 ml

Temperature 1 = 25°C

Volume 2= ?

Temperature 2 = 55°C

Process

Use the Charles' law to solve this problem

                V1/T1 = V2/T2

-Solve for V2

                V2 = V1T2 / T1

-Convert temperature to °K

T1 = 25 + 273 = 298°K

T2 = 55 + 273 = 328°K

-Substitution

                V2 = (750 x 328) / 298

-Simplification

                V2 = 246000 / 298

-Result

                V2 = 825.5 ml

The dipole moment (μ) of HBr (a polar covalent molecule) is 0.838D (debye), and its percent ionic character is 12.4 % . Estimate
myrzilka [38]

<span>When two electrical charges, of opposite sign and equal magnitude, are separated by a distance, a dipole is established. The size of a dipole is measured by its dipole moment (</span>μμ). Dipole moment is measured in Debye units, which is equal to the distance between the charges multiplied by the charge (1 Debye equals 3.34×10−30Cm3.34×10−30Cm). The dipole moment of a molecule can be calculated by Equation 1.11.1:

μ = qr

where

<span> <span>μ⃗ μ→ is the dipole moment vector</span> <span>qiqi is the magnitude of the ithith charge, and</span> <span>r⃗ ir→i is the vector representing the position of ithith charge.</span> </span>

 

r = μ/q

<span>r = [0.838D(3.34×10−30 C⋅m/ 1D)]/ (1.6×10−19 C) *0.124
</span> r = 1.41 x10^-10 m
