Is gasoline evaporated a chemical change

No. The only thing that changed was the looks of the gasoline, not the chemical components.

Answer:

The correct answer is No

Explanation:

A chemical change is often characterized by the following

  • new substance is formed
  • not easily reversible
  • in most cases, process are represented by a chemical equation

The evaporation of gasoline does not meet any of the characteristics above. When, a gasoline evaporates, it is converted from it's liquid form to it's gaseous form hence <u>no new substance is formed</u>, and if this conversion is done in a controlled environment, the <u>gaseous form can be easily reversed back to it's liquid form</u> by cooling. There is <u>no chemical equation needed for this process</u> since no new substance is formed.

Because of the reasons provided earlier, evaporation of gasoline is a physical change and not a chemical change.

Answer:

Theoretical yield of the reaction = 34 g

Excess reactant is hydrogen

Limiting reactant is nitrogen

Explanation:

Given there is 100 g of nitrogen and 100 g of hydrogen

Number of moles of nitrogen = 100 ÷ 28 = 3·57

Number of moles of hydrogen = 100 ÷ 2 = 50

Reaction between nitrogen and hydrogen yields ammonia according to the following chemical equation

N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3

From the above chemical equation for every mole of nitrogen that reacts, 3 moles of hydrogen will be required and 2 moles of ammonia will be formed

Now we have 3·57 moles of nitrogen and therefore we require 3 × 3·57 moles of hydrogen

⇒ We require 10·71 moles of hydrogen

But we have 50 moles of hydrogen

∴ Limiting reactant is nitrogen and excess reactant is hydrogen

From the balanced chemical equation the yield will be 2 × 3·57 moles of ammonia

Molecular weight of ammonia = 17 g

∴ Theoretical yield of the reaction = 2 × 3·57 × 17 = 121·38 g

When I2 and FeCl2 are mixed together, iodine (I) cannot replace chlorine (Cl) in the compound because iodine is lower on the per
Nata [24]

Answer: The given statement is true.

Explanation: If this reaction would have occurred, then this reaction would be considered as displacement reaction.

Displacement reactions are the reaction in which more reactive element displaces the less reactive element in a chemical reaction. This is based on the reactivity of elements.

Reactivity of elements is the tendency of the elements to gain or loose electrons. The reactivity decreases down the group in a periodic table.

In the given reaction, Iodine and chlorine are the elements of the same group in the periodic table and iodine lies below chlorine in the group. So, the reactivity of iodine is less than the reactivity of chlorine.

Hence, in the given reaction, iodine will not replace chlorine because it lies below in the periodic table.

FeCl_2+I_2\rightarrow \text{No reaction}

Calculate the standard potential for the following galvanic cell: Ni(s) | Ni2+(aq) || Ag+(aq) | Ag(s) which has the overall bala
mylen [45]

Answer:

1.06  V  

Explanation:

The standard reduction potentials are:

Ag^+/Ag     E° =  0.7996 V  

Ni^2+/Ni     E° = -0.257   V

The half-cell and cell reactions for Ni | Ni^2+ || Ag^+ | Ag are

Ni → Ni^2+ + 2e-                     E° = 0.257   V

<u>2Ag^+ 2e- → 2Ag               </u>    <u>E° = 0.7996 V </u>

Ni + 2Ag^+ → Ni^2+ + 2Ag     E° = 1.0566  V

To three significant figures, the standard potential for the cell is 1.06 V .

Fluorine has an atomic number of 9, how many electron shells does it have?
aleksandr82 [10.1K]
2 shells because if you do the electronic configuration: 
 2,7 which adds up to 9
7 stands for the group it in and it also stands for how many electrons are in the outer shell.
the amount of spaces stands for which period its in therefore it in period 2
