The hydrocarbon naphthalene was frequently used in mothballs until recently, when it was discovered that human inhalation of naphthalene vapors can lead to hemolytic anemia. Naphthalene is 93.71% carbon by mass, and a 0.256-mole sample of naphthalene has a mass of 32.8 g. What is the molecular formula of naphthalene? This compound works as a pesticide in mothballs by. sublimation of the .solid so that it fumigates enclosed spaces with its vapors according to the equation Naphthalene(s)naphthalene(g)K=4.29106(at298K) If 3.00 g solid naphthalene is placed into an enclosed space with a volume of 5.00 L at 25C, what percentage of the naphthalene will have sublimed once equilibrium bas been established?

(c) What is thetheoretical oxygen demand, in grams of O₂ required per liter ofsolution, of 90.0% by volume aqueous propylene glycol?
Please find the CO2 amount and show the calculation: Air composition (apprx) = 80% N2 and 20% O2 (mol basis only)Average molecular weight of Air = (0.8 x 28 + 0.2 x 32) = 29 g/mol (apprx) Math Sample:2kg pure charcoal (12C) is to be burnt completely with air. Find the air, CO2 andN2 amount in kg’s.Solution:C + O2 = CO2 (you must use a balanced equation)Therefore from the mole ratio of the reaction we write,C : O2 : CO2 = 1:1:1and from air composition we gotO2 : N2 : Air = 1:4:5 Given, 2 kg C = 2000 g/ (12 g/mol) = 166.67 mole CTherefore, similar mole of O2 required. So equivalent Air supposed to be 5times than the mole amount of O2 and released N2 will be 4 times than therequired O2. Therefore, Air amount = 5 x 166.67 moles= 833.34 moles= (833.33x29/1000) kg= 24.17 kg air Similarly N2 released amount will be = (166.67 x 4 x 28/1000) kg = 18.67 kgFind CO2 amount by yourself! (Isn’t it 7.34 kg?)
A cork popper. To entertain children between the ages of 22 and 90, Daniel Harris enjoys popping corks from bottles containing vinegar and baking soda. He pours about 50 mL of vinegar into a 500‑mL plastic bottle. Then, he wraps about 5 g of baking soda (which is sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO3) in one layer of tissue and drops the tissue into the bottle. He places a cork tightly in the mouth of the bottle and steps back. The chemical reaction generates CO2(g) that pressurizes the bottle and eventually bursts the cork into the air.

Ammonia (NH3) is naturally produced through the decomposition of organic material as wellas being high in wastewater discharged to natural waters. In the environment it is oxidizedto form nitrite (NO2-), and nitrite is then oxidized to form nitrate (NO3-) in a process callednitrification. The balanced equations are given below:2NH3 + 3O2 → 2NO2- + 2H+ + 2H202NO2- + O2 → 2NO3-a) Assuming complete oxidation, what is the theoretical oxygen demand to convert100mg/L of ammonia to nitrate (i.e., how much oxygen is necessary)? Report youranswer as mg/L of O2.Answer: 376 mg/L O2b) This conversion process makes water more acidic. With reference to the equations forpH, explain why this occurs
The compound diborane (B2H6) was at one time considered for use as a rocket fuel. Its combustion reaction is B2H6(g) + 3 O2(l) → 2 HBO2(g) + 2 H2O(l) The fact that HBO2, a reactive compound, was produced rather than the relatively inert B2O3 was a factor in the discontinuation of the investigation of the diborane as a fuel. What mass of liquid oxygen (LOX) would be needed to burn 234.4 g of B2H6? Answer in units of g.

Chlorine gas (Cl2) can react with water to generate hypochlorous acid (HOCl), following the reaction: Cl2 + H2O -> HOCl + H+ + Cl-. HOCl is a strong oxidant and can subsequently oxidize ammonia (NH3) to NH2Cl, NHCl2, and NCl3. Calculate the Cl2 required, in mg/L, to oxidize 1 mg/L of NH3 in water if 70% of the NH3 is oxidized to NH2Cl, 20% is oxidized to NHCl2, 10% is oxidized to NCl3.
