Which do you think would be safer for heating a flammable liquid sample contained in an open beaker, and Bunsen burner or an ele

ctric hot plate? Why?
Chemistry

Answer:

Electric hot plate

Explanation:

Considering that the liquid sample is flammable, it wouldn’t be a good idea to have it near a source of fire which the Bunsen burner provides, rather it would be better to heat through an electric hot plate as its not near a source of flame and instead produces heat through electricity.

Two gases, A and B, are at equilibrium in a sealed cylinder. Individually, gas A is colorless, while gas B is dark colored. The
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

(a) color

(b) endothermic

(c)

b The ΔH value would have the same magnitude value but opposite sign.

c The K expression would be inverted.

Explanation:

Let's consider the following reaction at equilibrium.

      A(g) ⇄ 2 B(g)

colorless    dark colored

<em>(a) The cylinder should appear (color or colorless)</em>

At equilibrium, there is a mixture of A and B, so the cylinder should appear colored.

<em>(b) When the system is cooled, the cylinder's appearance becomes very light colored. Therefore, the reaction must be (endothermic or exothermic)</em>

According to Le Chatelier's Principle when a perturbation is made to a system at equilibrium it will react to counteract such effect. When the system is cooled, it will tend to increase the temperature by releasing heat. In this case, the reaction is endothermic so when the reverse reaction is favored, colorless A is favored as well.

<em>Suppose the reaction equation were written as follows: 2 B(g) ⇄ A(g) </em>

<em>(c) Which of these statements would then be true?</em>

<em>a The value of K would not change.</em> FALSE. The new K would be the inverse of the direct K.

<em>b The ΔH value would have the same magnitude value but opposite sign. </em>TRUE. This is stated by Lavoisier-Laplace Law.

<em>c The K expression would be inverted.</em> TRUE. What was product before now is reactant and vice-versa.

<em>d The color of the cylinder would be darker.</em> FALSE. Changing the way the reaction is expressed has no effect on the equilibrium.

Multiple choice-- please help!
kvasek [131]

The rate law for the reaction : r=k.[A]²

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

A ⟶ B + C

Required

The rate law

Solution

The rate law is a chemical equation that shows the relationship between reaction rate and the concentration / pressure of the reactants

For the second-order reaction it can be:

1. the square of the concentration of one reactant.

\tt r=k[A]^2

2. the product of the concentrations of two reactants.

\tt r=k[A][B]

And the reaction should be(for second order) :

2A ⟶ B + C

Thus, for reaction above (reactant consumption rate) :

\tt r=-\dfrac{\Delta A}{2\Delta t}=k[A]^2

Is cobalt 60 more dangerous than bananas ( potassium 40) and why ?
maxonik [38]

Answer:

To the best of my knowledge, it is because of the amount of gamma rays is given off.

Explanation:

While both are isotopes, Potassium 40 gives off fewer gamma rays compared to Cobalt 60. Potassium 40 isn't really harmful to humans, but Cobalt 60 (I believe) is used in chemotherapy.

How many grams are in 2.30 x 10^23 atoms in Na?
aksik [14]

There are 8.786 g

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The mole is the number of particles contained in a substance

1 mol = 6.02.10²³

2.30 x 10²³ atoms in Na :

\tt mol=\dfrac{2.3\times 10^{23}}{6.02\times 10^{23}}=0.382

mass :

\tt mass=mol\times Ar~Na\\\\mass=0.382\times 23=8.786~g

If the resistance of a circuit is 3 ohms, and the voltage produced by the cell in the circuit is 12 volts, what's the magnitude
koban [17]

Answer:

<h2>4 A</h2>

Explanation:

The magnitude of the current can be found by using the formula

i =  \frac{v}{r} \\

v is the voltage

r is the resistance

From the question we have

i =  \frac{12}{3}  = 4 \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>4 A</h3>

Hope this helps you
