10 examples of spontaneous combustion |
|
Answer» Haypiles and compost piles may self-ignite because of heatproduced by bacterial fermentation.Linseed oil in a partially confined space can oxidizeleading to a build-up of heat and thus ignition.COAL can ignite spontaneously when exposed to OXYGEN whichcauses it to react and heat up when there is insufficient VENTILATION forcooling.Pyrite oxidation is often the cause of coal spontaneousignition in old Mine tailings.Pistachio nuts are highly flammable when STORED in largequantities, and are prone to self-heating and spontaneous combustion.Large MANURE piles can spontaneously combust duringconditions of extreme heat.Cotton and linen. When these materials come into contactwith polyunsaturated vegetable oils (linseed, massage oils), bacteria slowlydecompose the materials, producing heat. If these materials are stored in a wayso the heat cannot escape, the heat build-up increases the rate ofdecomposition and thus the rate of heat build-up increases. Once ignitiontemperature is reached, combustion occurs. |

Class XII problemWhy Haloarenes are insoluble in water but soluble in benzene? |
|
Answer» The RULE of solubility is 'LIKE DISSOLVES like' i.e. polar SOLVENT dissolves polar molecules whereas non-polar molecules are dissolved in non polar solvents. Haloarenes are non polar in NATURE. So they are dissolved in a non-polar solvent benzene, but cannot be dissolved in a polar solvent water. |

Explain the cleansing action of soap/detergents. (class 10) |
|
Answer» Soap and DETERGENTS help INSOLUBLE particles to become soluble in water. It makes the cleaning easy. OIL or fats are insoluble in water. Soap molecules has two parts- the polar head and the long hydrocarbon tail. The insoluble oil/fat molecules become associated inside the micelle formed by soap molecules with polar hydrophilic (water-loving) groups on the outside and encasing a hydrophobic (water-hating) pocket, which shields the oil/fat molecules from the water MAKING it soluble. Once the DIRT or fat molecules are dissolved in water, it can be rinsed away easily. |

Calculate the number of moles present in 25 g of CaCO3.URGENT!!! |
|
Answer» THANK you for asking the question! In order to CALCULATE the NUMBER of moles in 25 g of calcium carbonate following formula will be used. As the molecular WEIGHT of calcium carbonate = 40+12+3*16 molecular weight = 100 g weight of calcium carbonate given= 25 g. moles of calcium = weight\molecular weight = 25\100 = 0.25 moles. thus number of moles in 25 g of calcium carbonate is 0.25. Hope it HELPS. |
