The combustion of carbohydrates and the combustion of fats are both exothermic processes, yet the combustion of carbohydrates is

a faster process. How can this be?
Chemistry
1 answer:
Julli [10]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

There are two aspects of a reaction:

Thermodynamics:

Combustion of the compound is reaction with oxygen.

The carbohydrates contain more content of oxygen as compared to fats.

Hence, carbohydrates have lot of oxygen content which are already partially oxidized as compared to fats. Hence, combustion of the carbohydrates is a faster process.

Kinetics:

The molecular reacts also shows that the combustion of the carbohydrates is a faster process.

Finding the pH for [H+] = 9.4 * 10-3 M?
saul85 [17]

Answer:

pH = 2.0

Explanation:

To find the pH of a solution, take the -log[H+]. In this case, the -log(9.4 x 10^-3) equals 2.02687 which makes 2.0 when accounting for significant figures.

How can you tell which ionic compounds will react in an aqueous solution
Darina [25.2K]
1.  Determine if the ionic substances can break apart into ions.
 - e.g. CaCO3 isn't very soluble, do it can't dissolve and dissociate.  If it can't pop apart, no ions.
2.  Swap the partners for all the other ions that you can get from step 1.  You can skip pairings with the same charge - a + can't get close to another + to react.
3.  Use solubility, acid/base, and redox rules to see if anything will happen with the ions in solution.<span />

The following thermochemical equation is for the reaction of methane(g) with water(g) to form hydrogen(g) and carbon monoxide(g)
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

54.075KJ

Explanation:

Since methane is the limiting reactant.

From the reaction equation,

16 g of methane absorbs 206 KJ of energy

4.20 g of methane will absorb 4.20 × 206/16 = 54.075KJ of energy was absorbed.

From the equation, the value of the enthalpy of reaction is positive, this means that energy is absorbed in the reaction of methane and water. Hence the answer.
