Answer:

The correct answer is "The catalyst decreased the activation energy of the reactants."

Explanation:

Activation energy is the minimum energy required to start a reaction. A catalyst lowers the activation energy of a reaction. Here the catalyst lowers the activation energy of the reactant, thus making it easier to start to the reaction. In the absence of a catalyst the activation energy of the reactant will be higher.

b) Mass of MnO₂ = 5.981 g

Mass of H₂O = 1.2384 g

c) Total Mass of Reactant consumed = 11.708 g

b) Given Reaction

Zn(s) + MnO₂(s) + H₂O(l) → ZnO(s) + Mn(OH)₂(s)

Mass of Zn = 4.50 g

Moles of Zn = 0.0688 moles

Now,

Moles of Zn = moles of MnO₂ = moles of H₂O = moles of ZnO = moles of Mn(OH)₂

Hence ,

Moles of MnO₂ = 0.0688 moles

Mass of MnO₂ = 0.0688 × 86.9368 g

= 5.981 g

Similarly,

Moles of H₂O = 0.0688 moles

Mass of H₂O = 0.0688 × 18 g

= 1.2384 g

c) now ,

Moles of ZnO = 0.0688 moles

Mass of ZnO = 0.06880× 81.3794 g

= 5.598 g

Moles of Mn(OH)₂ = 0.0688 moles

Mass of Mn(OH)₂ =0.0688 × 88.952 g

= 6.11 g

Total mass of Product = 11.708 g

Total Mass of Reactant = 11.715 g

Hence,

Total mass of reactant consumed = 11.708 g

c) As total mass of reactant is more than that of mass of reactant consumed , Hence G is more than that of mass of reactant consumed .

G = - nFEcell

and no. of moles of reactant is greater than that of number of moles of reactant consumed .

Hence voltaic cell of given Capacity are heavier than that of mass of reactant consumed .

Thus from above conclusion we can say that , Mass of the reactant consumed is 11.708 g.

What is the empirical formula for a compound that contains 10.89% magnesium 31.77% chloride and 57.34% oxygen

Blizzard [7]

Answer: $Mg_{1}Cl_{2}O_{8}$

Explanation:

If percentage are given then we are taking total mass is 100 grams.So, the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.

Mass of Mg = 10.89 g

Mass of Cl = 31.77 g

Mass of O = 57.34 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of Mg= $\frac {\text{ given mass of Mg}}{\text{ molar mass of Mg}}= \frac {10.89g}{24g/mole}=0.45moles$

Moles of Cl = $\frac {\text{ given mass of Cl}}{\text{ molar mass of Cl}}= \frac {31.77g}{35.5g/mole}=0.89moles$

Moles of O = $\frac {\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}=\frac {57.34g}{16g/mole}=3.58moles$

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For Mg = $\frac {0.45}{0.45}=1$

For Cl = $\frac {0.89}{0.45}=2$

For O= $\frac {3.58}{0.45}=8$

The ratio of Mg :Cl : O= 1 : 2 : 8

Hence the empirical formula is $Mg_{1}Cl_{2}O_{8}$

Cis-trans isomers (geometric isomers) are molecules that _____. A) are isomers in which one of the molecules contains an amino g

Paul [167]

Answer:

C) differ in the arrangement of their atoms about a double bond

Explanation:

Cis-trans isomers -

Isomers are the molecules which have the same molecular formula but they differ in their arrangement of atoms.

The two isomers possible are the cis and the trans isomer .

1. Cis - isomer - The priority group or the similar group are at same side of the double bond .

2. trans - isomer - The priority group or the similar group are at different side of the double bond . ( the group are diagonally present )

Hence , the option about cis - trans isomer is ( c ) .
