Explanation:

When waste materials are converted into new materials then this process of development of new materials is known as recycling.

This method helps in the prevention of raw materials and it also prevents wastage of many materials.

For example, glass, paper, aluminium etc can be recycled and hence, they can be used again and again.

Therefore, we can conclude that the process by which certain waste materials, such as plastic, glass, aluminum, and paper, are prepared for reuse is known as recycling.

A metal sample weighing 129.00 grams and at a temperature of 97.8 degrees Celsius was placed in 45.00 grams of water in a calori

Nitella [24]

Answer : The specific heat of metal is $0.481J/g^oC$ .

Explanation :

In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

$q_1=-q_2$

$m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)$

where,

$c_1$ = specific heat of metal = ?

$c_2$ = specific heat of water = $4.184J/g^oC$

$m_1$ = mass of metal = 129.00 g

$m_2$ = mass of water = 45.00 g

$T_f$ = final temperature = $39.6^oC$

$T_1$ = initial temperature of metal = $97.8^oC$

$T_2$ = initial temperature of water = $20.4^oC$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get

$129.00g\times c_1\times (39.6-97.8)^oC=-45.00g\times 4.184J/g^oC\times (39.6-20.4)^oC$

$c_1=0.481J/g^oC$

Therefore, the specific heat of metal is $0.481J/g^oC$ .

Using the Brønsted-Lowry concept of acids and bases, identify the Brønsted-Lowry acid and base in each of the following reaction

Luden [163]

Answer:

1. HSO³⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) → H₂SO₃(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

The Brønsted-Lowry acid is H₂O and the Brønsted-Lowry base is HSO³⁻

2. (CH₃)₃N(g) + BCl₃(g) → (CH₃)₃NBCl₃(s)

There are no Brønsted-Lowry acids and bases in this reaction.

Explanation:

According to the Brønsted-Lowry concept, when an acid (HA) and a base (B) undergoes a chemical reaction, the acid (HA) loses a proton and forms its conjugate base (A⁻), whereas the base gains (B) the proton to form its conjugate acid (HB⁺).

The chemical equation for this reaction is:

HA + B ⇌ A⁻ + HB⁺

Given reactions:

1. HSO³⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) → H₂SO₃(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

The Brønsted-Lowry acid is H₂O and the Brønsted-Lowry base is HSO³⁻

Reason: In this reaction, the acid H₂O loses a proton and forms its conjugate base, OH⁻. Whereas, the base HSO³⁻ gains a proton to form its conjugate acid, H₂SO₃.

2. (CH₃)₃N(g) + BCl₃(g) → (CH₃)₃NBCl₃(s)

There are no Brønsted-Lowry acids and bases in this reaction.

Reason: In this reaction, there is no exchange of proton between the acid and the base.

Which is the IUPAC name for NO?

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

Nitrogen (ii) oxide

Explanation:

To know the IUPAC name for NO, we shall determine the oxidation number of N in NO.

NOTE: The oxidation number of oxygen (O) is always – 2.

Thus the oxidation number of N in NO can be obtained as follow:

N + O = 0 (ground state)

N + (– 2) = 0

N – 2 = 0

Collect like terms

N = 0 + 2

N = +2

Thus, the oxidation number of Nitrogen (N) in NO is +2.

Therefore, the IUPAC name for NO is Nitrogen (ii) oxide
