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?

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.

Nitric oxide, an important pollutant in air, is formed from the elements nitrogen and oxygen at high temperatures, such as those
Tanya [424]

Answer:

Q is 0.5 and K is 0.01, therefore K is less than Q.

the system will proceed in the reverse direction, thereby converting products into reactants. converting Nitric oxide to form oxygen and nitrogen.

Explanation:

Given,

N2 (g) + O2 (g) « 2 NO (g)

K = 0.01

heated temperature = 2000 ⁰C

N2 moles =0.4

O2 moles =0.1

2NO moles = 0.08

Volume of container = 1L

Q is the reaction quotient  of the equilibrium equation. it is use to determined which direction the system will move to by comparing it with the K value.

Q can be calculated by multiplication of mass of reactant divide by mass of product

Q =\frac{ [N2] *[O2}{2NO}

the mass of the chemicals are in mole, there is need to convert them to moles/litre

therefore,

for N₂ : 0.4 mole per 1L container = 0.4 mol/L = 0.4M

for O₂ : 0.1 mole per 1L container = 0.1 mol/L = 0.1M

for 2NO : 0.08mole per 1L container = 0.08 mol/L = 0.08M

Q =\frac{ [N2] *[O2}{2NO} = (0.4*0.1)/0.08 = 0.5

finally, we are going to compare the value of Q with K

Note that:

if K>Q , the reaction will proceed forward, converting reactants into product.

if K<Q , the reaction will proceed backward, converting products into reactants.

if K=Q , the system of reaction is already in equilibrium.

since, Q is 0.5 and K is 0.01, therefore K is less than Q.

the system will proceed in the reverse direction, thereby converting products into reactants. converting Nitric oxide to form oxygen and nitrogen.

Isotope Atomic Mass (amu) Percent Abundance
exis [7]

Answer:

The average atomic mass is closer to Si- 28 because this isotope is present in more percentage in the sample.

Explanation:

Given data:

Atomic mass of silicon= ?

Percent abundance of Si-28 = 92.21%

Atomic mass of Si-28 = 27.98 amu

Percent abundance of Si-29 = 4.70%

Atomic mass of  Si-29 = 28.98 amu

Percent abundance of Si-30 = 3.09%

Atomic mass of  Si-30 = 29.97 amu

Solution:

Average atomic mass = (abundance of 1st isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass)+(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass)  / 100

Average atomic mass = (92.21×27.98)+(4.70×28.98)+(3.09×29.97) /100

Average atomic mass =  2580.04 +136.21+92.61 / 100

Average atomic mass = 2808.86 / 100

Average atomic mass  = 28.08amu.

The average atomic mass is closer to Si- 28 because this isotope is present in more percentage in the sample.
