How many moles of solute

What factors could be used to increase reaction rate? Check all that apply.

ludmilkaskok [199]

The rate of a reaction can be increased by:

-using a catalyst- it lowers the activation energy and leads to less energy required to break bonds of reactants. This lower activation energy leads to more products formed with less time, hence an increase reaction rate.

-increasing temperature- the particles of a molecule move faster and undergo more collision which leads to an increase in the speed of the reaction.

-increasing pressure- means there is more particles of reactants in a reduced volume. The particles do not need to move long distances to find another particle to react with, hence the rate of reaction increases.

Using an inhibitor will not increase the rate of the reaction because, an inhibitor binds to the active site where a catalyst is supposed to act. This means a higher activation energy and thus a decrease in reaction rate.

Likewise, decreasing the concentration implies few particles available to collide with each other and that slow down the speed of the reaction.

An acetic acid buffer solution is required to have a pH of 5.27. You have a solution that contains 0.010 mol of Acetic acid. Wha

dlinn [17]

Answer:

Molarity of sodium acetate you will need to add is 0.0324M

Explanation:

<em>Assuming volume of the buffer is 1L.</em>

<em />

The pH of a buffer can be determined using Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:

pH = pKa + log [A⁻] / [HA]

<em>Where pKa is pKa of the weak acid, [A⁻] molar concentration of conjugate base and [HA] molar concentration of weak acid</em>

<em />

Replacing for the acetic buffer (pKa = 4.76):

pH = 4.76 + log [Sodium Acetate] / [Acetic Acid]

As you have 0.010 moles of acetic acid in 1L:

[Acetic Acid] = 0.010mol / 1L = 0.010M

And you require a pH of 5.27:

5.27 = 4.76 + log [Sodium Acetate] / [0.010M]

0.51 = log [Sodium Acetate] / [0.010M]

10^0.51 = [Sodium Acetate] / [0.010M]

3.236 = [Sodium Acetate] / [0.010M]

3.236 [0.010M] = [Sodium Acetate]

0.0324M = [Sodium Acetate]

<h3>Molarity of sodium acetate you will need to add is 0.0324M</h3>

Which of the following would lose heat the fastest?

Molodets [167]

Answer:

15 grams of water

Explanation:

15 grams of water of water would lose heat the faster compared to higher masses of water.

Water generally is a poor conductor heat.

To heat up a unit of water, significant amount of energy must be added to the body of water.
With time, the body continues to increase in temperature.
A 500g mass of water will take more time to lose heat.

A chef is serving a lunch special with 1 sandwich and 2 corn cobs per plate. If there are 5 sandwiches and 14 corn cobs, what is

shtirl [24]

5 plates is the highest amount that can be served

There’s only 5 sandwiches so 7 is automatically ruled out, there’s 14 corn cobs and 5 sandwiches only need 10 so it works out

Which statement describes how technology has increased our information on Mars?

Luden [163]

The Curiosity rover found sulfur compounds in rocks and carbon in organic compounds like propane, butene, benzene, toluene and thiophene.

It detected methane, not in soil samples, but in the Martian atmosphere.

It did not discover helium in underground pockets. The hole it can drill is only 5 cm deep.
