An ice freezer behind a restaurant has a freon leak, releasing 47.97 g of C2H2F3Cl into the air every week. If the leak is not fixed, how many kilograms of fluorine will be released into the air over 6 months

0.554 kg

Explanation:

We want to find the amount of kilograms of fluorine that will be released into the air over 6 months.

Let's convert to weeks to get;

6 × 4 = 24 weeks

Let's find Mass leak rate of fluorine from the formula;

Mass leak rate = (fluorine mass in freon/molar mass of freon) × leak rate

Molar mass of freon = ((12 × 2) + (1 × 2) + (19 × 3) + (35.5)) = 118.5 g/mol

Thus;

Mass leak rate = ((19 × 3)/(118.5)) × 47.97 = 23.074 g/week

Total fluorine leaked in 6 months = 24 × 23.074 = 553.776 g = 0.554 kg

  the   balanced   equation   for   reaction of   ca metal   with   o2 to   produce   cao   is as below

2 ca+ o2→ 2 cao2

  explanation

the reaction is   balanced     since the   number of atoms   in reactant side is   equal to   number of atoms   in   product side.   for   example   they   are 2   atom of   ca in   reactant   side   and   2   atoms of ca   in   the product side.

  the   process   is a   meet the   requirement   of   redox   reaction because :     calcium   is   oxidized   from   oxidation state 0   to 2+   while   oxygen   is reduced from   oxidation   state   0   to 2-

the number of protons in the nucleus of a given element. has slight luster and conducts electricity at high temperatures like metal.but like a nonmetal,boron is brittle and does not conduct electricity well at low temperatures. in graphite, carbon is a soft,brittle solid.it is reflective,ductile,or malleable.
