HCN forms when synthetic fibers containing Orlon® or Acrilan® burn. Acrilan® has an empirical formula of CH2CHCN, so HCN is 50.9

% of the formula by mass. A rug in the laboratory measures 3.70 × 4.20 m and contains 30.0 oz of Acrilan® fibers per square yard of carpet. If the rug burns, what mass of HCN will be generated in the room? Assume that the yield of HCN from the fibers is 20.0% and that the carpet is 42.0 % consumed.

Answer:

676 g

Explanation:

First, let's calculate the area of the rug: 3.70x4.20 = 15.54 m². Knowing that 1 yard has 0.9144 m, so

1 yd² = (0.9144 m)² = 0.8361 m²

So, there is 30.0 oz in 0.8361 m²

30.0 oz-----------------0.8361 m²

x           -----------------15.54 m²

By a simple direct three rule:

0.8361x = 466.2

x = 557.6 oz of Acrilan in the rug

1 oz =  28.35 grams, so 557.6 oz = 15807.96 g

The potencial of HCN is 50.9% of this mass, so: 0.509x15807.96 = 8046.25 g.

But only 42.0% of the rug is burned, so the potencial of HCN is 42.0% of  8046.25: 0.42x 8046.25 = 3379.42 g.

And the yield is only 20.%, so the mass formed of HCN is:

0.20x3379.42 = 676 g

A gas of 190 mL at a pressure of 74 atm can be expected to change its pressure when its volume changes to 30.0 mL. Express its n
kozerog [31]

Answer : The new pressure of the gas will be, 468.66 atm

Explanation :

Boyle's Law : This law states that pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

P\propto \frac{1}{V}     (At constant temperature and number of moles)

or,

P_1V_1=P_2V_2

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of the gas = 74 atm

P_2 = final pressure of the gas = ?

V_1 = initial volume of the gas = 190 ml

V_2 = final volume of the gas = 30 ml

Now we put all the given values in the above formula, we get the final or new pressure of the gas.

74atm\times 190ml=P_2\times 30ml

P_2=468.66atm

Therefore, the new pressure of the gas will be, 468.66 atm

If the actual yield of the reaction was 75% instead of 100%, how many molecules of no would be present after the reaction was ov
artcher [175]
To be able to answer this equations, we must set given information. Suppose the reaction to yield NO is:

N₂ + O₂ → 2 NO

Next, suppose you have 1 g of each of the reactants. Determine first which is the limiting reactant.

1 g N₂ (1 mol N₂/ 28 g)(2 mol NO/1 mol N₂)= 0.07154 mol NO present

Number of molecules = 0.07154 mol NO(6.022×10²³ molecules/mol)
<em>Number of molecules = 4.3×10²² molecules NO present</em>

You wish to make a buffer with pH 7.0. You combine 0.060 grams of acetic acid and 14.59 grams of sodium acetate and add water to
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

The pH of the buffer is 7.0 and this pH is not useful to pH 7.0

Explanation:

The pH of a buffer is obtained by using H-H equation:

pH = pKa + log [A⁻] / [HA]

<em>Where pH is the pH of the buffer</em>

<em>The pKa of acetic acid is 4.74.</em>

<em>[A⁻] could be taken as moles of sodium acetate (14.59g * (1mol / 82g) = 0.1779 moles</em>

<em>[HA] are the moles of acetic acid (0.060g * (1mol / 60g) = 0.001moles</em>

<em />

Replacing:

pH = 4.74 + log [0.1779mol] / [0.001mol]

<em>pH = 6.99 ≈ 7.0</em>

<em />

The pH of the buffer is 7.0

But the buffer is not useful to pH = 7.0 because a buffer works between pKa±1 (For acetic acid: 3.74 - 5.74). As pH 7.0 is out of this interval,

this pH is not useful to pH 7.0

Find the volume of a gas at STP, if its volume is 80.0 mL at 109 kPa and -12.5°C.​
exis [7]

Answer:

= 913.84 mL

Explanation:

Using the combined gas laws

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

At standard temperature and pressure. the pressure is 10 kPa, while the temperature is 273 K.

V1 = 80.0 mL

P1 = 109 kPa

T1 = -12.5 + 273 = 260.5 K

P2 = 10 kPa

V2 = ?

T2 = 273 K

Therefore;

V2 = P1V1T2/P2T1

     = (109 kPa × 80 mL × 273 K)/(10 kPa× 260.5 K)

     <u>= 913.84 mL</u>

Select the statement(s) that explain(s) the relationship between the arrangement of elements by size and first ionization energy
kow [346]

c. A full s subshell is able to shield a newly filled p subshell from the nucleus, making the first electron in a p subshell easy to remove.

Explanation:

From the given options, a full s-sublevel is able to shield a newly filled p-subshell from the nucleus thereby making the first electron in a p-subshell easy to remove is correct.

What is ionization energy?

Ionization energy is a measure of the readiness of an atom to lose an electron.

First ionization energy is the energy required to remove the most loosely held electron in the gas phase.

The size of an atom/element depends on the number of electrons it contains. The more the electrons, the larger its size.

  • The larger an atom becomes the lesser the ionization energy needed to remove the first electron from its outermost shell.

Electron - electron repulsion occurs when two electrons in the same sub-level repels one another.

Shielding effect is the ability of the inner electrons to protect the outer electrons from the pull of the nuclear charge.

In option C, a s-subshell has a greater shielding effect than the p,d and f sub-shell in that order.

A newly introduced electron in the p-sublevel will be loosely held and easier to remove.
