a man was found dead in an underground storage room of explosives, without marks or wounded. On the top of the limestone was found a hole, near the ventilation.

there are two suspects Mackenzie and the inpectors found with him glacial acetic acid and Dunber found with bottles of vinegar. the room is 392 cu ft.

the incident happened on an underground storage room, near the sea on a chilly night. the room was locked from the outside and not from the inside.

if this is the balanced formula

2CaCO3 + 2 CH3COOH --> Ca(CH3COO)2 + H2O + CO2

Use the balanced equation, how many moles of gas must been used to produce a certain amount of gas?

what was the volme of the small storage room?

if its 7 times 7 times 8 feet

1 m3= 1000L of gas

density of air= 1.2kg/m3

density of CO2 gas=2.0kg/m3

How many moles of gas at STP must have been used to fill that room? 22.4L = 1 mol of gas

glacial acid or vinegar

glacial= 18 mols/liters
vinegar= 1.0 mols/liters

Most likely it was MacKenzie with the glacial acetic acid, which generated the carbon dioxide. Vinegar would have done the same thing, but you'd have needed darn near the entire room full of vinegar to get enough CO2 to asphyxiate the victim.

the volume of the rom is 7' x 7' x 8' = 392 ft³ = 11.1 m³ = 11100 liters

1 mole of gas at STP fills 22.4 liters, so you need 495.5 moles of CO2

You'd need twice that many moles of acetic acid to generate the gas, so you'd need 991 moles of acetic acid, which would be 55 liters of glacial acetic acid! That's a bunch of acid!

NOT all men want to fight. There are also other men who are peaceful and good. Some others who try to make their surroundings peaceful as well. Men who does kill other human fellow due to savagery and that pursues killing one another from such purpose and way. Are those who are irrational and ignorant, easy to hate, and lack of self control as a human being, It is only that there could be also more others being prone into it. Because of more poverty in survival, then those who are not mentally competent and/ or those who are extremely greedy and vain people who are existing in this world. Good luck..!
