Is gasoline evaporated a chemical change

Chemistry

No. The only thing that changed was the looks of the gasoline, not the chemical components.
boyakko [2]3 years ago

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.

Which of the following statement is FALSE? a. Lowering the free energy of the transition state can increase a reaction rate. b.
ryzh [129]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Activation energy or free energy of a transition state is defined as the  minimum amount of energy required to by reactant molecules to undergo a chemical reaction.

So, when activation energy is decreased then molecules with lesser amount of energy can also participate in the reaction. This leads to an increase in rate of reaction.  

Also, increase in temperature will help in increasing the rate of reaction.

Whereas at a given temperature, every molecule will have different energy because every molecule travels at different speed.

Hence, we can conclude that out of the given options false statement is that at a given temperature and time all molecules in a solution or a sample will have the same energy.

Why are elements and compounds classified as pure substances?
IgorC [24]

Pure substances contain a single type of chemical species, either element or compound. Elements cannot be further broken into simpler units by chemical methods. If we consider a sample of elements, it has a single type of atoms present in it. A compound has one or more atoms bound together chemically. Compounds can be broken down into simpler units by chemical means. When we consider a sample of a single compound say water, it has all the pure water molecules. Hence, elements and compounds are pure substances.
