Energy is transmitted to the surrounding in an exothermic reaction and this can be understood with the energy diagram of exothermic reaction attached with the answer.

<h3>What is an Exothermic Reaction ?</h3>

When a chemical reaction happens, energy is transferred to or from the surroundings.

When energy is transferred to the surroundings, this is called an exothermic reaction, and the temperature of the surroundings increases.

ΔH value negative –> energy released –> exothermic reaction

This happens because the reactants are at the higher energy state as compared to the products and therefore heat is liberated in the atmosphere to match the difference and therefore heat content in the surroundings increases.

The energy diagram for the exothermic reaction is attached with this answer.

What happens in nuclear fission reactions?

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

in nuclear fission, an unstable atom splits into 2 or more smaller pieces that are more stable and releases energy in the process. the fission process also releases extra neutrons which can split additional atoms, resulting in a chain reaction that releases a lot of energy

Keiko needs 100mL of a 5% acid solution for a science experiment. She has available a 1% solution and a 6% solution. How many mi

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Keiko should mix 20 mL 1% solution and 80 mL 6% solution for to make 100 mL 5% solution

Explanation:

There are 2 unknown values X= mL 6% solution and Y=1% solution. So, we need 2 equations:

1. Equation acid concentration. X mL 6% + Y mL 1% = 100 mL 5%

2. Equation solvent concentration X mL 94% + Y mL 99% = 100 mL 95%

When clearing X and Y :

(X mL 6% + Y mL 1% = 100 mL 5%) (-15,7)

X mL 94% + Y mL 99% = 100 mL 95%

_______________________________

- Y 0.83 = 16.5

Y = 19.9 mL 1% solution

Replace Y in anyone equation and X = 80 mL 6% solution

Question #1
Potasium hydroxide (known)
volume used is 25 ml
Molarity (concentration) = 0.150 M
Moles of KOH used
0.150 × 25/1000 = 0.00375 moles
Sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
volume used = 15.0 ml
unknown concentration
The equation for the reaction is
2KOH (aq)+ H2SO4(aq) = K2SO4(aq) + 2H2O(l)
Thus, the Mole ratio of KOH to H2SO4 is 2:1
Therefore, moles of H2SO4 used will be;
0.00375 × 1/2 = 0.001875 moles
Acid (sulfuric acid) concentration
0.001875 moles × 1000/15
= 0.125 M

Question #2
Hydrogen bromide (acid)
Volume used = 30 ml
Concentration is 0.250 M
Moles of HBr used;
0.25 × 30/1000
= 0.0075 moles
Sodium Hydroxide (base)
Volume used 20 ml
Concentration (unknown)
The equation for the reaction is
NaOH + HBr = NaBr + H2O
The mole ratio of NaOH : HBr is 1 : 1
Therefore, moles of NaOH used;
= 0.0075 moles
NaOH concentration will be
= 0.0075 moles × 1000/20
= 0.375 M

In substitution reactions, (CH3)3C-I reacts at the same rate with Br- and Cl- even though Br- is a more reactive nucleophile tha

Kamila [148]

Answer:

A. (CH3)3C-I reacts by SN1 mechanism whose rate is independent of nucleophile reactivity.

Explanation:

We must recall that (CH3)3C-I is a tertiary alkyl halide. Tertiary alkyl halides preferentially undergo substitution reaction via SN1 mechanism.

In SN1 mechanism, the rate of reaction depends solely on the concentration of the alkyl halide (unimolecular mechanism) and is independent of the concentration of the nucleophile. As a result of this, both Br^- and Cl^- react at the same rate.
