Explain why you hear a “whoosh” sound when you open a can containing a carbonated drink. Which gas law applies?

2 answers:

6 0

Carbonated drinks have the air under pressure so that carbon bubbles are forced into the drink, keeping it carbonated. So when you open a can, the air under pressure in the can comes out of the can at a high speed, making a "whooshing" sound. The gas law that applies to this concept is the Boyle's Law (PV=k or P1V1=P2V2).

Answer:

sorry the other one is a very bad answer i just took the test so this should. good luck

Explanation:

The carbon dioxide in the head space above the liquid is at higher pressure than atmospheric pressure outside the can.

The gas is at a lower volume initially but suddenly has a larger volume available when the can is opened.

The change in pressure as the gas rapidly moves to become dispersed through its new volume causes the “whoosh” sound.

The gas law that applies is Boyle’s law.

1. Suppose 0.7542 g of magnesium reacts with excess oxygen to form magnesium oxide as the only product, what would be the theore

Alina [70]

Answer :

(1) The theoretical yield of product, $MgO$ is, 1.257 grams.

(2) The percent yield of $MgO$ is, 64.13 %

(3) If the percent yield is calculated to be over 100% then there might be some impurity present in the desired product.

Solution : Given,

Mass of Mg = 0.7542 g

Molar mass of Mg = 24 g/mole

Molar mass of MgO = 40 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of Mg.

$\text{ Moles of }Mg=\frac{\text{ Mass of }Mg}{\text{ Molar mass of }Mg}=\frac{0.7542g}{24g/mole}=0.03142moles$

Now we have to calculate the moles of $MgO$

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$2Mg(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2MgO(s)$

From the reaction, we conclude that

As, 2 mole of $Mg$ react to give 2 mole of $MgO$

So, 0.03142 moles of $Mg$ react to give 0.03142 moles of $MgO$

Now we have to calculate the mass of $MgO$

$\text{ Mass of }MgO=\text{ Moles of }MgO\times \text{ Molar mass of }MgO$

$\text{ Mass of }MgO=(0.03142moles)\times (40g/mole)=1.257g$

Theoretical yield of $MgO$ = 1.257 g

Experimental yield of $MgO$ = 0.8922 g

Now we have to calculate the percent yield of $MgO$

$\% \text{ yield of }MgO=\frac{\text{ Experimental yield of }MgO}{\text{ Theretical yield of }MgO}\times 100$

$\% \text{ yield of }MgO=\frac{0.8922g}{1.257g}\times 100=70.97\%$

Therefore, the percent yield of $MgO$ is, 70.97 %

If the percent yield is calculated to be over 100% then the product would be greater than 1.257 g which indicates that there might be some impurity present in the desired product.

The Mond process produces pure nickel metal via the thermal decomposition of nickel tetracarbonyl: Ni(CO)4 (l) → Ni (s) + 4CO (g

Yuki888 [10]

<u>Answer:</u> The volume of CO formed is 254.43 L.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Given mass of $Ni(CO)_4$ = 444 g

Molar mass of $Ni(CO)_4$ = 170.73 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of }Ni(CO)_4=\frac{444g}{170.73g/mol}=2.60mol$

For the given chemical reaction:

$Ni(CO)_4(l)\rightarrow Ni(s)+4CO(g)$

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of nickel tetracarbonyl produces 4 moles of carbon monoxide.

So, 2.60 moles of nickel tetracarbonyl will produce = $\frac{4}{1}\times 2.60=10.4mol$ of carbon monoxide.

Now, to calculate the volume of the gas, we use ideal gas equation, which is:

PV = nRT

where,

P = Pressure of the gas = 752 torr

V = Volume of the gas = ? L

n = Number of moles of gas = 10.4 mol

R = Gas constant = $62.364\text{ L Torr }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = Temperature of the gas = $22^oC=(273+22)K=295K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$752torr\times V=10.4mol\times 62.364\text{ L Torr }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 295K\\\\V=254.43L$

Hence, the volume of CO formed is 254.43 L.

What is the molarity of a solution made by dissolving 68.4g of NaOH in enough water to produce a 875 ml solution?

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

We first calculate for the number of moles of NaOH by dividing the given mass by the molar mass of NaOH which is equal to 40 g/mol. Solving,
moles of NaOH = (68.4 g/ 40 g/mol) = 1.71 moles NaOH
Then, we divide the calculate number of moles by the volume in liters.
molarity = (1.71 moles NaOH / 0.875 L solution)
molarity = 1.95 M

6) A 0.20 ml CO2 bubble in a cake batter is at 27°C. In the oven it gets

Nata [24]

Answer: The new volume of cake is 1.31 mL.

Explanation:

Given: $V_{1}$ = 0.20 mL, $T_{1} = 27^{o}C$

$V_{2}$ = ?, $T_{2} = 177^{o}C$

Formula used to calculate new volume is as follows.

$\frac{V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{V_{2}}{T_{2}}$

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

$\frac{V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{V_{2}}{T_{2}}\\\frac{0.20 mL}{27^{o}C} = \frac{V_{2}}{177^{o}C}\\V_{2} = 1.31 mL$

Thus, we can conclude that the new volume of cake is 1.31 mL.

Which equation represents the total ionic equation for the reaction of HNO3 and NaOH? Upper H superscript plus, plus upper O upp

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Total Ionic equation:

H⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻ (aq) + Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) → H₂O(l) + Na⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻ (aq)

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

HNO₃ + NaOH → NaNO₃ + H₂O

Balanced chemical equation:

HNO₃(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaNO₃(aq) + H₂O(l)

Total Ionic equation:

H⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻ (aq) + Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) → H₂O(l) + Na⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻ (aq)

Net ionic equation:

H⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) → H₂O(l)

The NO₃⁻ (aq) and Na⁺ (aq) are spectator ions that's why these are not written in net ionic equation. The water can not be splitted into ions because it is present in liquid form.

Spectator ions:

These ions are same in both side of chemical reaction. These ions are cancel out. Their presence can not effect the equilibrium of reaction that's why these ions are omitted in net ionic equation
