Textbook Question
Chapter 21, Problem 80AP
A person was found dead of carbon monoxide poisoning in a well-insulated cabin. Investigation showed that he had used a blackened bucket to heat water on a butane burner. The burner was found to function properly with no leakage. Explain, with an appropriate equation, the cause of his death.

If you have a gas furnace it is important to make sure that it is tuned up with a proper flow of oxygen. Without a proper flow of oxygen to the furnace, it can burn the natural gas (CH4) with some incomplete combustion. Why can it be so dangerous if your furnace is burning natural gas with incomplete combustion?
doug began preparing laboratory surface disinfectant from chlorine bleach. he put on a chemical resistant apron and gloves and then removed the bleach container from the special chemical cabinet. he carefully placed the container on the laboratory benchtop and began to add the chlorine bleach to distilled water. nearby workers began complaining of burning eyes. doug was reprimanded by the supervisor.
Explain why.
Some Chem 16.1 students were tasked to perform the ideal gas experiment with some modifications.
Instead of magnesium ribbon, the students were to use 0.029 g of aluminum foil. They prepared the
eudiometer by adding 6M HCI and filling it with water to the brim. Once the setup was complete, they
performed the experiment. Note that the aluminum was completely consumed in the reaction. From the
experiment, it was found that the external pressure was 1.05 atm at 30.0 °C, and the volume of the air
inside the eudiometer was 33.5 mL. The water level inside the eudiometer is 4.15 cm below the surface
of the water level outside. Given these measurements and the following constants, answer the proceeding
questions.
At 30.0°C, Pvapor = 31.8 mmHg
• R = 0.08206 L-atm/mol-K = 62.36 L-torr/mol-K
• MWAI = 26.98 g/mol
A. Find the value of the pressure of dry air (PDA) in torr.
B.
Give the balanced chemical reaction of the aluminum metal with the acid.
C. Find the experimental mass (in grams) of…
