Why does a candle relight if a match is held above the wick just after the flame is blown out?

Chemistry
1 answer:
shutvik [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer with Explanation:

A candle relights when a match is held above the wick because its trail of smoke still contains some of the wax. When candles are burned, the heat of the flame turns the the wax (which is originally solid) into liquid (commonly near the wick) and then evaporates as gas. The vaporized wax actually protect the wick and this is the reason why it is not burned. So, when you put off a candle, the vaporized wax is still present near the wick. This, remember, holds heat and light energy. Thus, this explains why the candle can be relighted once you hold a match above the wick. It then allows the match to ignite.

Thus, this explains the answer.

5Br−+BrO3−+6H+→3Br2+3H2O
sashaice [31]

Explanation :

The balanced chemical reaction is,

5Br^-+BrO_3^-+6H^+\rightarrow 3Br_2+3H_2O

The expression for the rates of consumption of the reactants are:

The rate of consumption of Br^- = -\frac{1}{5}\frac{d[Br^-]}{dt}

The rate of consumption of BrO_3^- = -\frac{d[BrO_3^-]}{dt}

The rate of consumption of H^+ = \frac{1}{6}\frac{d[H^+]}{dt}

The expression for the rates of formation of the products are:

The rate of consumption of Br_2 = +\frac{1}{3}\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}

The rate of consumption of H_2O = +\frac{1}{3}\frac{d[H_2O]}{dt}

Why is zinc not extracted from ZnO through reduction using CO?​
Jet001 [13]
The standard Gibbs free energy of formation of ZnO from Zn is lower than that of CO2 from CO. Therefore, CO cannot reduce ZnO to Zn. Hence, Zn is not extracted from ZnO through reduction using CO

A 250 mL sample of gas is collected over water at 35°C and at a total pressure of 735 mm Hg. If the vapor pressure of water at 3
ELEN [110]

Answer:

The volume of the gas sample at standard pressure is <u>819.5ml</u>

Explanation:

Solution Given:

let volume be V and temperature be T and pressure be P.

V_1=250ml

V_2=?

P_{total}=735 mmhg

1 torr= 1 mmhg

42.2 torr=42.2 mmhg

so,

P_{water}=42.2mmhg

T_1=35°C=35+273=308 K

Now

firstly we need to find the pressure due to gas along by subtracting the vapor pressure of water.

P_{gas}=P_{total}-P_{water}

=735-42.2=692.8 mmhg

Now

By using combined gas law equation:

\frac{P_1*V_1}{T_1} =\frac{P_2*V_2}{T_2}

V_2=\frac{P_1*}{P_2}*\frac{T_2}{T_1} *V_1

V_2=\frac{P_gas}{P_2}*\frac{T_2}{T_1} *V_1

Here P_2 \:and\: T_2 are standard pressure and temperature respectively.

we have

P_2=750mmhg \:and\: T_2=273K

Substituting value, we get

V_2=\frac{692.8}{750}*\frac{273}{308} *250

V_2= 819.51 ml

Consider the reaction pathway graph below.
Alex17521 [72]
Hello!

The reaction that the graph represents is A. Exothermic because Hrxn=-167 kJ

To calculate Hrxn we apply the following equation:

Hrxn=Hproducts-Hreagents=-625kJ-(-458kJ)=-167kJ

Looking at the graph, and at the result of the calculations, we can see that the enthalpy of the products is lower than the enthalpy of the reagents, because the sign is negative. That means that the reaction releases energy in the form of heat and that the reaction is exothermic.

Have a nice day!
