Acetylene torches are used for welding. These torches use a mixture of acetylene gas, C2 H2, and oxygen gas, O2 to produce the following combustion reaction: 2C, H2 (g) + 502 (9)→4CO2 (g)+ 2H2O(g) You have a 7.00 L gas tank and a 2.50 L gas tank. You need to fill one tank with oxygen and the other with acetylene to use in conjunction with your welding torch. If you fill the larger tank with oxygen to a pressure of 145 atm , to what pressure should you fill the acetylene tank to ensure that you run out of each gas at the same time?

[Review Topics] [References] "Smelling salts," which are used to revive someone who has fainted, typically contain ammonium carbonate, (NH4)2CO3. Ammonium carbonate decomposes readily to form ammonia, carbon dioxide, and water. The strong odor of the ammonia usually restores consciousness in the person who has fainted. The unbalanced equation is (NH4)2CO3 (8)→ NH3(g) + CO₂(g) + H₂O(g) Calculate the mass of ammonia gas that is produced if 0.850 g of ammonium carbonate decomposes completely. g NH3 Submit Answer Mastered Retry Entire Group 8 more group attempts remaining Previous Next Save and Exit
The human body burns glucose (C6H₁2O6) for energy according to this chemical reaction: C6H12O6 +60₂-6CO₂ + 6H₂O The products of the reaction are carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O). Interestingly, all of the carbon dioxide and much of the water exits the body through the lungs: on every breath, the average person exhales 500. mL of air, which is typically enriched to 4% CO₂ and 5% water vapor by volume. In short, when a person loses weight by dieting, the weight that is lost actually departs his body as a gas, every time he exhales. Each kilogram of body fat lost requires exhaling about 2.9 kg of carbon dioxide. Calculate how many breaths it takes an average person to "exhale" 1.00 kg of fat. Round your answer to the nearest thousand. You'll need to know that the density of CO₂ is 2.0 kg/m³. 0 ☐ ☐x10 X

The great French chemist Antoine Lavoisier discovered the Law of Conservation of Mass in part by doing a famous experiment in 1775. In this experiment Lavoisier found that mercury(II) oxide, when heated, decomposed into liquid mercury and an invisible and previously unknown substance: oxygen gas. 1. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the decomposition of solid mercury(II) oxide (HgO) into liquid mercury and gaseous dioxygen. 2. Suppose 53.0mL of dioxygen gas are produced by this reaction, at a temperature of 50.0°C and pressure of exactly 1atm. Calculate the mass of mercury(II) oxide that must have reacted. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
A materials scientist has created an alloy containing aluminum, copper, and zinc, and wants to determine the percent composition of the alloy. The scientist takes a 12.849 g sample of the alloy and reacts it with concentrated HCl. The reaction converts all of the aluminum and zinc in the alloy to aluminum chloride and zinc chloride in addition to producing hydrogen gas. The copper does not react with the HCl. Upon completion of the reaction, a total of 10.4 L of hydrogen gas was collected at a pressure of 724 torr and a temperature of 27.0 °C. Additionally, 2.836 g of unreacted copper is recovered. Calculate the mass of hydrogen gas formed from the reaction. mass: ----- g Calculate the mass of aluminum in the alloy sample. mass: ---- g What is the mass percent composition of the alloy?

The extraction of aluminum metal from the aluminum hydroxide in bauxite ore by the Hall-Héroult process is one of the most remarkable success stories of late 19th century practical chemistry, turning aluminum from a rare and precious metal into the cheap commodity it is today. In the first step, aluminum hydroxide reacts to form alumina and water: 2 Al(OH)3(s)-Al₂O3(s) + 3 H₂O(g) In the second step, alumina and carbon react to form aluminum and carbon dioxide: 2 Al₂O3(s)+3 C(s)-4 Al(s) + 3 CO₂(g) Write the net chemical equation for the production of aluminum from aluminum hydroxide and carbon.

Automakers are always investigating alternative reactions for the generation of gas to inflate air bags, in part because the sodium produced in the decomposition of NaN3 presents safety concerns. One system that has been considered is the oxidation of graphite by strontium nitrate, Sr(NO3)2, as shown in the equation below. 5 C(s) + 2 Sr(NO3)2 (8)→ 2 SrO(s) + 2 N₂(g) + 5 CO₂(g) Suppose that a system is being designed using this reaction, and the goal is to generate enough gas to inflate a bag to 63 L and 1.4 atm at 23°C. What is the minimum mass of graphite that should be used in the design of this system? g C(s)
A studen wanted to determine the value of R and so used the reaction: Mg(s) + 2 HCl(aq) → H2(g) + MgCl2 (aq) She got a piece of magnesium ribbon and determined its mass as 0.0841 g. She placed the ribbon in a test tube with water and excess HCl and inverted it to allow the H2 gas to bubble to the top of the tube while water was pushed out the bottom. She measured the volume of the gas in the tube as 87.8 mL. She measured the temperature of the water at 20.5ᵒC and the atmospheric pressure in the room was 751 torr. 1- What other piece of information did she have to determine in order to accurately calculate R? 2- What did she calculate for the value of R? 3- What was her % error?
