Answer:

Exolaiend in explanation section

Explanation:

First of all, the automatic hammer is used to drive nails into tight spaces where where we can't get a sufficient striking force if we are to use a normal regular hammer in driving the nail.

So the nail to be driven is lifted out of rest(it's position). The energy here is gravitational potential energy.

Now, when it is driven into the tight spaces, the gravitational energy would be converted to kinetic energy due to the motion and speed involved.

Compounds A and B react to give a single product, C. Write the rate law for each of the following cases and determine the units

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Rate laws are mathematical expressions which define the relationship that exists between the rate of a chemical reaction and the concentration of the reacting components. Rate laws take the following form:

$rate = k [A]^{x} [B]^{y} [C]^{z}$ ...

where k = rate constant

[A], [C] and [C] represent the molar concentrations of the reactants

k, x, y, and z are determined experimentally by observing how the rate of reaction changes with the concentrations of the reactants.

If x=1, the reaction is first order for [A]. Also, if y=2, the reaction is second order for [B] and so on...

The overall order of the reaction is the sum of the orders with respect to each reactant. Therefore, the overall order of the reaction is x+y+z.

what is the boiling point of the solution resulted from the dissolving of 32.5g of NaCl in 250.0g of water?

suter [353]

Answer:

The boiling point of this solution is 102.28 °C

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of Nacl = 32.5 grams

Molar mass of NaCl = 58.45 g/mol

Mass of Water = 250 grams

Boiling point of water = 100°C

Step 2: Calculate number of moles

Number of moles = mass of NaCl / Molar mass of NaCl

Number of moles = 32.5 grams /58.45 g/mol = 0.556 moles

Step 3: Calculate molality

Molality = Number of moles / mass of water

Molality = 0.556 moles / 0.250 kg of water

Molality = 2.224 molal

NaCl releases twice as many moles of ions, the total molality of this solution is also twice: 4.448 molal

Step 4: Calculate boiling point

dT =( 0.512 C / molal)*4.448 molal)

dT = 2.28

The boiling point of this solution is 100 °C + 2.28 °C = 102.28 °C

Calculate the volume of 1.00 x 10^-2M KOH solution containing 3.00 x 10^-1 mol of solute?

ioda

Volume = ?

Molarity (M) = 1.00 x 10⁻² M

moles (n) = 3.00 x 10⁻¹ mol

V = n / M

V = 3.00 x 10⁻¹ / 1.00 x 10⁻²

V = 30 L

A solution is prepared by adding .8 g of iron sulfate to 450mL of water

Anastasy [175]

Molar mass FeSO₄ =151.908 g/mol

Volume = 450 mL / 1000 = 0.45 L

1 mol ----------- 151.908 g
n mol ----------- 0.8 g

n = 0.8 * 1 / 151.908

n = 0.00526 moles

M = n / V

M = 0.00526 / 0.45

M = 0.01168 mol/L⁻¹

hope this helps!
