Hey,

Catalyst is the answer.
A catalyst is a substance that speeds up chemical reactions and the best thing about them is that they don’t get used up through the process.
This means that they won’t run out no matter how much times they are used.

An example of a catalyst would be potassium permanganate.
Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) eventually breaks down into hydrogen and oxygen.
But Potassium permanganate(KMnO4) speeds up this process.

There are also biological catalysts like saliva that helps breaks down food.Theese are called enzymes.

Hope this helps!!

water’s molar mass is 18.01 g/mol. The molar mass of glycerol is 92.09 g/mol. At 25 celsius, glycerol is more viscous than water

Gemiola [76]

Answer is: glycerol because it is more viscous and has a larger molar mass.

Viscosity depends on intermolecular interactions.

The predominant intermolecular force in water and glycerol is hydrogen bonding.

Hydrogen bond is an electrostatic attraction between two polar groups in which one group has hydrogen atom (H) and another group has highly electronegative atom such as nitrogen (like in this molecule), oxygen (O) or fluorine (F).

A 110 g copper bowl contains 240 g of water, both at 21.0°C. A very hot 410 g copper cylinder is dropped into the water, causing

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

There is 98.76 kJ energy transfered to the water as heat.

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of copper bowl = 110 grams

Mass of water = 240 grams

Temperature of water and copper = 21.0 °C

Mass of the hot copper cylinder = 410 grams

8.6 grams being converted to steam

Final temperature = 100 °C

Step 2: Calculate the energy gained by the water:

Q = m(water)*C(water)*ΔT + m(vapor)*Lw

⇒with mass of water = 0.240 kg

⇒ with C(water) = the heat capacity of water = 4184 J/kg°C

⇒ with ΔT = the change in temperature = T2 - T1 = 100 °C - 21.0 = 79°C

⇒ with mass of vapor = 8.60 grams = 0.0086 kg

⇒ with Lw = The latent heat of vaporization (water to steam) = 22.6 *10^5 J/kg

Q = 0.24kg * 4184 J/kg°C *79°C + 0.0086 kg*22.6*10^5 J/kg

Q = 79328.64 + 19436 = 98764.64 J = 98.76 kJ

There is 98.76 kJ energy transfered to the water as heat.

So in general what rule can you make about substances that dissolve in solvent?

spin [16.1K]

In general, SOLUBILITY is an ability of a substance to dissolve. In the process of dissolving, the substance which is being dissolved is called a solute and the substance in which the solute is dissolved is called a solvent. A mixture of solute and solvent is called a solution.

Science Grade 8

FinnZ [79.3K]

Sound waves are produced by air flow coming from our lungs passing through our throat, more specifically our larynx and moving with two folds of tissue called vocal chords. The sound is made by the vibration of vocal chords, so the more stretched the chords are over the larynx, their frequency of vibration is higher, therefore producing higher-pitched sounds.
