A kinetics experiment is set up to collect the gas that is generated when a sample of chalk, consisting primarily of solid CaCO3

, is added to a solution of ethanoic acid, CH COOH. The rate of reaction between CaCo, and CH3COOH is determined by measuring the volume of gas generated at 25°C and I atm as a function of time. Which of the following experimental conditions is most likely to increase the rate of gas production?
(A) Decreasing the volume of ethanoic acid solution used in the experiment acid solution used in the experiment experiment is performed
(B) Decreasing the concentration of the ethanoic
(C) Decreasing the temperature at which the

(D) Decreasing the particle size of the CacO, by grinding it into a fine powder

Explanation:

To produce more gases by increasing the rate of the chemical reaction, if we grind the chalk into powder, this should walk.

The rate at which chemical reactions takes place is a measure of the speed of  the reaction.

Some factors control the rate of chemical reactions. They are:

  1. Nature of reactants
  2. Concentration of reactants or pressure if gaseous.
  3. Temperature
  4. Presence of a catalyst
  5. Sunlight

The most applicable in this scenario is grinding the chalk into fine powder. This process increases the surface area exposed. Surface area exposed proportionally affects the rate of a reaction.

Identify the hybridization of each carbon atom for the molecule above
ipn [44]

Carbons starting from the left end:

  1. sp²
  2. sp²
  3. sp²
  4. sp
  5. sp

Refer to the sketch attached.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

The hybridization of a carbon atom depends on the number of electron domains that it has.

Each chemical bond counts as one single electron domain. This is the case for all chemical bonds: single, double, or triple. Each lone pair also counts as one electron domain. However, lone pairs are seldom seen on carbon atoms.

Each carbon atom has four valence electrons. It can form up to four chemical bonds. As a result, a carbon atom can have up to four electron domains. It has a minimum of two electron domains, with either two double bonds or one single bond and one triple bond.

  • A carbon atom with four electron domains is sp³ hybridized;
  • A carbon atom with three electron domains is sp² hybridized;
  • A carbon atom with two electron domains is sp hybridized.

Starting from the left end (H₂C=CH-) of the molecule:

  • The first carbon has three electron domains: two C-H single bonds and one C=C double bond; It is sp² hybridized.
  • The second carbon has three electron domains: one C-H single bond, one C-C single bond, and one C=C double bond; it is sp² hybridized.
  • The third carbon has three electron domains: two C-C single bonds and one C=O double bond; it is sp² hybridized.
  • The fourth carbon has two electron domains: one C-C single bond and one C≡C triple bond; it is sp hybridized.
  • The fifth carbon has two electron domains: one C-H single bond and one C≡C triple bond; it is sp hybridized.

Which factor is generally responsible for high melting points?
kherson [118]
The factor that is generally responsible for higher melting point is intermolecular forces. The compounds that are covalent in nature are made of molecules rather than ions. It has been seen that some of the covalent compounds have polar molecules at one end, due to which the one end has more electronegative force than the other. The electrostatic force that is bounding the compound is the main cause of higher melting point of this compound.  So it is true that with the increase of polarity of a compound creates higher melting point. .. hope I helped

A breathing mixture used by deep-sea divers contains helium, oxygen, and carbon dioxide. What is the partial pressure of oxygen
Kay [80]
Answer is: pressure of oxygen is 31,3 kPa.
The total pressure<span> of an ideal gas mixture is the sum of the </span>partial pressures<span> of the gases in the mixture.
p(mixture) = p(helium) + p(oxygen) + p(carbon dioxide).
p(oxygen) = p(mixture) - (p(helium) + p(carbon dioxide)).
p(oxygen) = 101,4 kPa - (68,7 kPa + 1,4 kPa).
p(oxygen) = 101,4 kPa - 70,1 kPa.
p(oxygen) = 31,3 kPa.
