Combustible vapor-air mixtures are flammable over a limited range of concentrations. The minimum volume % of vapor that gives a combustible mixture is called the lower flammable limit (LFL). Generally, the LFL is about half the stoichiometric mixture, the concentration required for complete combustion of the vapor in air. (a) If oxygen is 20.9 vol % of air, estimate the LFL for n-hexane, C6H14. (b) What volume (in mL) of n-hexane (d 5 0.660 g/cm3) is required to produce a flammable mixture of hexane in 1.000 m3 of air at STP?
Effervescent tablets contain both citric acid (C6H8O7) and sodium bicarbonate
(NaHCO3) and release carbon dioxide gas when dissolved in water as well as
forming trisodium citrate (Na3C6H5O7) and water. A typical effervescent tablet
contains 1.00 g of citric acid and 1.92 g sodium bicarbonate.

done due to the evolution of carbon dioxide by the dissolution of one
effervescent tablet in water at 25.0 °C and atmospheric pressure (1 atm

- 1. One of the first families of rockets used by the American space program was the Redstonefamily of rockets. The first Redstone rockets (in the 1950s) used B10H14 (often called decaborane)as a rocket fuel that reacts violently with liquid di-oxygen to make diboron trioxide and steam.When used as a rocket fuel, scientists carefully calculated the amount necessary so that bothcomponents ran out at the same time. (Excess fuel would be excess weight for the rocket tocarry.) If the total mass of both reactants put together is 12.0 104 kg, what was the volume ofliquid di-oxygen carried by the rockets?

Five different samples of CaCO3(s) of known mass react with an excess of 2.0M HCl(aq) in identical sealed, rigid reaction vessels.

Since the reaction is exothermic, the reaction system is cooled to its original temperature before Cooling the HCl(aq) to a lower temperature than it was in the original experiment the pressure is recorded.

- The human body burns glucose C6H12O6 for energy according to this chemical reaction:→+C6H12O66O2+6CO26H2O. 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.mLof 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 3.0kg of carbon dioxide. Calculate how many breaths it takes an average person to "exhale" 2.00kg of fat.
