The following are actual student responses to the question: Why is it necessary to balance chemical equations? a. The chemicals will not react until you have added the correct ratios. The correct products will not form unless the right amounts of reactants have been added. A certain number of products cannot form without a certain number of reactants. The balanced equation tells you how much reactant you need, and allows you to predict how much product you will make. A ratio must be established for the reaction to occur as written. Justify the best choice, and, for choices you did not pick, explain what is wrong with them.

It is argued that when you pressure wash a wall, you 'feel' a higher reaction when the water jet is directed against the wall than when the water is directed freely in air. Is this claim true or false?
Please help me answer this question, and please show your solutions write it properly. 1) A cylindrical vessel with a diameter of 8 inches and 5 feet long contained acetylene at 300 psi gauge and 82°F. After some amount of acetylene was used, the pressure was reduced to 190 psi gauge and the temperature was 74°F. The gas constant of acetylene is 59.35 ft-lbf/lbm-°R. Determine the following: a) What is the initial mass in lbm of the acetylene inside the vessel? b) How much volume in ft3 of acetylene was used?
