What is a radical in science

Chemistry
1 answer:
Rasek [7]3 years ago
7 0
Radical In chemistry, radicals are atomic or molecular species with unpaired electrons on an otherwise open shell configuration. These unpaired electrons are usually highly reactive, so radicals are likely to take part in chemical reactions.
Hope this helps.

HBrO (aq) + H2O (l) ⇋ H3O+ (aq) + BrO- (aq)
joja [24]

Answer:

6.24 x 10-3 M

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the given dissociation, we have the following equilibrium expression in terms of the law of mass action:

Ka=\frac{[H_3O^+][BrO^-]}{[HBrO]}

Of course, water is excluded as it is liquid and the concentration of aqueous species should be considered only. In such a way, in terms of the change x, we rewrite the expression considering an ICE table and the initial concentration of HBrO that is 0.749 M:

5.2x10^{-5}=\frac{x*x}{0.749-x}

Thus, we obtain a quadratic equation whose solution is:

x_1=-0.00627M\\x_2=0.00624M

Clearly, the solution is 0.00624 M as no negative concentrations are allowed, so the concentration of BrO⁻ is 6.24 x 10-3 M.

Best regards.

Saturated liquid water flows steadily into a well-insulated electrical water heater (see Anim. 4-1-1) with a mass flow rate (m⋅)
Otrada [13]

Answer:

a. 2257.7 kW  b. 6.057kw/K

Explanation:

Steam existing at 100KPa with t = 20C, we can obtain values of enthalpy and entropy from table

h1 = hf = 417.4 kJ/kg

s1 = 1.302 KJ/kg.K

h2 = hg = 2675.1 kJ/kg

s2 = 7.359 kJ/K

a. Electrical Power consumption of system is given by Wel = mass x Change in Enthalpy

Wel = 1 x (h2 - h1) = 1 x (2675.1 - 417.4) = 2257.7 kw

b . Entropy Generation is given by Change in Entropy  = Entropy generation - heat dissipated/temperature, since we have a well insulated system with no losses, q =0, hence

ΔS = Sgen + 0/T = Sgen

m(S2 - S1) = Sgen

Sgen = 1 x (7.359 - 1.302) = 6.057 kW/K

1. Define action energy.
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

In physics, action is an attribute of the dynamics of a physical system from which the equations of motion of the system can be derived through the principle of stationary action. ... Action has dimensions of energy⋅time or momentum⋅length, and its SI unit is joule-second.
