- Is there a difference between a homogeneous mixture of hydrogen and oxygen in a 2:1 ratio and a sample of water vapor? Explain.arrow_forwardDefine the term the Compressibility of Gases?arrow_forwardNitroglycerin (C3H5N3O9) is a powerful explosive. Its decomposition may be represented by 4C3H5N3O9 ⟶ 6N2 + 12CO2 + 10H2O + O2 This reaction generates a large amount of heat and many gaseous products. It is the sudden formation of these gases, together with their rapid expansion, that produces the explosion. (a) What is the maxi- mum amount of O2 in grams that can be obtained from 2.00 × 102 g of nitroglycerin? (b) Calculate the percent yield in this reaction if the amount of O2 generated is found to be 6.55 g.arrow_forward
- Butane gas reacts with oxygen gas to give carbon dioxide gas and water vapor (gas). If you mix butane and oxygen in the correct stoichiometric ratio, and if the total pressure of the mixture is 436 mmHg, what is the pressure (in mmHg) of water vapor after the reaction has completed (temperature and volume do not change). Enter a number to 0 decimal places.arrow_forwardIn an experiment, sulfuric acid reacted with different volumes of sodium thiosulfate in water. A yellow precipitate was formed during the reaction. A cross drawn at the base of each flask became gradually invisible due the formation of this yellow precipitate. The time taken for the cross to become invisible was recorded. A partial record of the experiment is shown. Experimental Record Flask Volume ofH2SO4 Volume ofSodium Thiosulfate Volume ofWater Time 1 5 mL 50 mL 0 mL 19 seconds 2 5 mL 40 mL 10 mL  3 5 mL 30 mL 20 mL  4 5 mL 20 mL 30 mL  Based on your knowledge of factors that affect the rates of chemical reactions, predict the trend in the last column of the experimental record. Use complete sentences to explain the trend you predicted. You do not have to determine exact values for time; just describe the trend you would expect (increase or decrease) and why it occurs.arrow_forwardPart A Which of the following statements best explains why a closed balloon filled with helium gas rises in air? Because the helium atoms are of lower mass than the average air molecule, the helium gas is less dense than air. The balloon thus weighs less than the air displaced by its volume. The average speed of helium atoms is higher than the average speed of air molecules, and the higher speed of collisions with the balloon walls propels the balloon upward. Because helium has a lower molar mass than the average air molecule, the helium atoms are in faster motion. This means that the temperature of the helium is higher than the air temperature. Hot gases tend to rise. O Helium is a monatomic gas, whereas nearly all the molecules that make up air, such as nitrogen and oxygen, are diatomic.

- According to Boyle's law, where temperature stays constant, the pressure and volume of a fixed amount of gas are....  neither directly nor inversely proportional  directly proportional  must be measured to be determined  inversely proportionalarrow_forwardAll of the following are the properties of gases except the following one; O Gases have no definite volume. O Gases have no definite shape. O Gases undergo diffusion, mixing uniformly. O Gas particles are in constant, rapid motion. O Gases are not compressible.arrow_forwardUse the References to access important values if needed for this question. What volume of sulfur dioxide is required to react with 151 liters of oxygen gas according to the following reaction? (All gases are at the same temperature and pressure.) sulfur dioxide (g) + oxygen (g) → sulfur trioxide(g) Volume = Larrow_forward
