Gunpowder is a heterogenous mixture,

Reason : the composiotion of the mixture is not uniform throughout, the mixture can be separated by a suitable method , and finally , it composes of charcoal, sulfur and potassium nitrate which is not homogeneous mixture.

A heterogeneous mixture is a :

4vir4ik [10]

The correct answer is letter <span>C. mixture in which its components retain their identity. A heterogeneous mixture is a mixtures in which the component of the mixed are not uniform. You can see that there are localized regions that have different properties. The components have the capacity to retain their identity.</span>

The question is in the picture below

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

$\Delta\text{H}_1+2\Delta\text{H}_2-\Delta\text{H}_3$

Explanation:

Hess's Law of Constant Heat Summation states that if a chemical equation can be written as the sum of several other chemical equations, the enthalpy change of the first chemical equation is equal to the sum of the enthalpy changes of the other chemical equations. Thus, the reaction that involves the conversion of reactant A to B, for example, has the same enthalpy change even if you convert A to C, before converting it to B. Regardless of how many steps it takes for the reactant to be converted to the product, the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is constant.

With Hess's Law in mind, let's see how A can be converted to 2C +E.

$\bf{\text{A} \rightarrow 2\text{B}}$ (Δ $\text{H}_1$ ) -----(1)

Since we have 2B, multiply the whole of II. by 2:

$\bf{2\text{B} \rightarrow 2\text{C} +2\text{D}}$ (2Δ $\text{H}_2$ ) -----(2)

This step converts all the B intermediates to 2C +2D. This means that the overall reaction at this stage is $\text{A} \rightarrow 2\text{C} +2\text{D}$ .

Reversing III. gives us a negative enthalpy change as such:

$\bf{2\text{D} \rightarrow \text{E}}$ (-Δ $\text{H}_3$ ) -----(3)

This step converts all the D intermediates formed from step (2) to E. This results in the overall equation of $\text{A} \rightarrow 2\text{C} +\text{E}$ , which is also the equation of interest.

Adding all three together:

$\text{A} \rightarrow 2\text{C}+\text{E}$ ( $\bf{\Delta\text{H}_1+2\Delta\text{H}_2-\Delta\text{H}_3 }$ )

Thus, the first option is the correct answer.

What is my theoretical yield (in moles) of Potassium Bromide (KBr) if I start with 40 grams of Iron (II) Bromide [FeBr2]? moles

Verizon [17]

The reaction will be: FeBr2 + K --> KBr + Fe
Balancing gives: FeBr2 + 2K --> 2KBr + Fe
The molar mass of FeBr2 is 55.85 + 2*79.9 = 215.65 g/mol.
We divide 40 g / 215.65 g/mol = 0.185 mol FeBr2
Based on stoichiometry:
(0.185 mol FeBr2)(2 mol KBr/1 mol FeBr2) = 0.370 mol KBr

An element that has 2 core electrons and 3 valence electrons

gavmur [86]

Answer:

Boron

Explanation:

You can find this by looking at the number of protons in Boron, 5.

Then calculate how many electrons you are given, in this case the 2 core plus the 3 valence equal 5 total electrons

Neutral elements have the same number of protons and electrons, so your answer would be the element with 5 electrons, Boron.

You can also know this by using electron configuration. Since you kow there are 5 electrons then you can use EC to find out where your element is. In this case it is: 1s2 2s2 2p1
