Answer:
D. It predicts whether or not a reaction will be spontaneous.
Explanation:
<em>What does Gibbs free energy (ΔG) predict?
.</em>
A. It predicts what the rate of the reaction will be. NO. ΔG is a thermodynamical parameter and it is not related to the kinetics of the reaction.
B. It predicts how high the activation energy is. NO. ΔG is a thermodynamical parameter and it is not related to the kinetics of the reaction.
C. It predicts if entropy will increase or decrease. NO. ΔG depends on the entropy but not the other way around.
D. It predicts whether or not a reaction will be spontaneous. YES. If ΔG < 0 the reaction is spontaneous and if ΔG > 0 the reaction is not spontaneous.
NaHCO3 is a product of a strong base and a weak acid reaction. Thus it has weak basic properties.
HCO3- ion is actually amphoteric, which means it can act as a base or an acid. But it is weaker than a strong acid or a strong base.
<span>HCO3- is amphoteric meaning it acts both as a B.L. Acid and a B.L. Base.. which is why it's used to neutralize both acid and base spills in the lab.</span>
Answer
Do you think that the mole should be considered a base unit in the SI system?
The mole is not a base unit on a par with the six property base units; it cannot be used in significant physical–chemical comparisons until the subscript parameter p in mole-of-Ep has been given a certain “value”."
Explanation:
Answer:
P₂ ≅ 100 atm (1 sig. fig. based on the given value of P₁ = 90 atm)
Explanation:
Given:
P₁ = 90 atm P₂ = ?
V₁ = 18 Liters(L) L₂ = 12 Liters(L)
=> decrease volume => increase pressure
=> volume ratio that will increase 90 atm is (18L/12L)
T₁ = 272 Kelvin(K) T₂ = 274 Kelvin(K)
=> increase temperature => increase pressure
=> temperature ratio that will increase 90 atm is (274K/272K)
n₁ = moles = constant n₂ = n₁ = constant
P₂ = 90 atm x (18L/12L) x (274K/272K) = 135.9926471 atm (calculator)
By rule of sig. figs., the final answer should be rounded to an accuracy equal to the 'measured' data value having the least number of sig. figs. This means P₂ ≅ 100 atm based on the given value of P₁ = 90 atm.
Answer:
Cp = 0.237 J.g⁻¹.°C⁻¹
Explanation:
Amount of energy required by known amount of a substance to raise its temperature by one degree is called specific heat capacity.
The equation used for this problem is as follow,
Q = m Cp ΔT ----- (1)
Where;
Q = Heat = 640 J
m = mass = 125 g
Cp = Specific Heat Capacity = <u>??</u>
ΔT = Change in Temperature = 43.6 °C - 22 °C = 21.6 °C
Solving eq. 1 for Cp,
Cp = Q / m ΔT
Putting values,
Cp = 640 J / (125 g × 21.6 °C)
Cp = 0.237 J.g⁻¹.°C⁻¹
