3 0

We produce formaldehyde for medicinal purposes and synthesizing polyester.

Formaldehyde is a compound that is required in about 1.5 ounces in quantity as a normal part of our metabolism.

Also formaldehyde is used as a catalyst in the formation for the synthesis of many polyesters.

Formaldehyde also has many uses such as fungicide, germicide, disinfectant and as a preservative in mortuaries as well as important chemical in medical Laboratories.

In everyday items press fabric paints coating and paper base products also includes formaldehyde.

Would you base your career options using science?

Would you base your moral behavior on science? Science is notorious for not being able to answer moral questions.

Would you base the "meaning of life" on science? The meaning of life is hardly a question that the periodic table could answer.

The only option left is plant growth which science could answer.

Which statement is a valid conclusion about the activation energy of the reverse reaction if the forward reaction is exothermic?
babunello [35]

Answer:

e) The activation energy of the reverse reaction is greater than that of the forward reaction.

Explanation:

  • Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy that is required by the reactants to start a reaction.
  • An exothermic reaction is a reaction that releases heat energy to the surrounding while an endothermic reactions is a reaction that absorbs heat from the surrounding.
  • <em><u>In reversible reactions, when the forward reaction is exothermic it means the reverse reaction will be endothermic, therefore the reverse reaction will have a higher activation energy than the forward reaction.</u></em> The activation energy of the reverse reaction will be the sum of the enthalpy and the activation energy of the forward reaction.

A chemist measures the energy change ΔH during the following reaction: C3H8 (g) +5O2 (g) →3CO2 (g) +4H2O (l) =ΔH−2220.kJ Use the
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

The reaction is exothermic.

Yes, released.

The heat released is 4,08x10³ kJ.

Explanation:

For the reaction:

C₃H₈(g) + 5O₂(g) → 3CO₂(g) + 4H₂O(l)

The ΔH is -2220 kJ, As ΔH is <0, <em>The reaction is exothermic.</em>

As the reaction is exothermic, the heat of the reaction will be <em>released.</em>

The heat released in 81,0g is:

81,0g C₃H₈×\frac{1mol}{44,1g}×\frac{2220kJ}{1mol}= <em>4,08x10³ kJ</em>

<em>-Using molar mass of C₃H₈ to convert mass to moles and knowing that there are released 2220 kJ per mole of C₃H₈-</em>

I hope it helps!

A jeweler guarantees that a piece of jewelry is at least 95% gold, by mass. You consider buying a piece of gold jewelry that wei
ELEN [110]
The density of the sample is:
Density = mass / volume
Density = 9.85 / 0.675
Density = 14.6 g/cm³

If the sample has 95% gold, and 5% silver, its density should be:
0.95 x 19.3 + 0.05 x 10.5
Theoretical density = 18.9 g/cm³

The difference in theoretical and actual densities is very large, making it likely that the jeweler was not telling the truth.
