Alka-seltzer is an antacid that is dissolved in water before use. for an experiment, three tablets of alka-seltzer are dissolved

in three beakers, each containing 50 ml of water: beaker a's water is 10° c; beaker b's water is 50° c; and beaker c's water is 80°
c. which answer correctly orders the reaction rates of the three beakers from fastest to slowest reaction? beaker a > beaker b > beaker c beaker c > beaker b > beaker a beaker b > beaker a > beaker c beaker a = beaker b = beaker c

Alka-seltzer in an antacid that contains a mixture of sodium bicarbonate and citric acid. When the tablet is dissolved in water, the reactants which are in solid form in tablet become aqueous and react with each other.

During this reaction, Carbon Dioxide gas is evolved which causes the reaction mixture to fizz. The equation is given below.

NaHCO_{3}\ (aq) +  H_{3}C_{6}H_{5}O_{7} (aq)\rightarrow Na_{3}C_{6}H_{5}O_{7}(aq)+ CO_{2}(g)+H_{2}O (l)

Rate of the above reaction is affected by the Temperature.

As the temperature increases , the rate of the reaction increases. This happens because at higher temperature, the collisions between reacting species are more which result in formation of product in less time. This increases the rate of reaction.

We have been given equal volumes of water for each beaker. But the temperature of beaker c is 80°C which is the highest temperature. That means the reaction in beaker c is fastest.

Whereas beaker a is at lowest temperature (30°C) , therefore the reaction in beaker a would be slowest .

Therefore the answer that correctly orders the reaction rates from fastest to slowest reaction is beaker c > beaker b > beaker a

By what mechanism does cyclohexanol react when treated in sulfuric acid and what compound results?A) E 1; methoxycyclohexane B)
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

E 1: cyclohexene

Explanation:

This reaction is an example of the dehydration of cyclic alcohols. The reaction proceeds in the following steps;

1) The first step of the process is the protonation of the cyclohexanol by the acid. This now yields H2O^+ attached to the cyclohexane ring.

2) the water molecule, which a good leaving group now leaves yielding a carbocation. This now leaves a cyclohexane carbocation which is highly reactive.

3) A water molecule now abstracts a proton from the carbon adjacent to the carbocation leading to the formation of cyclohexene and the regeneration of the acid catalyst. This is an E1 mechanism because it proceeds via a carbocation intermediate and not a concerted transition state, hence the answer.

Solid aluminum metal reacts with aqueous zinc chloride to produce solid zinc metal and aqueous aluminum chloride
yuradex [85]

Answer:

2Al + 3ZnCl₂    →    3Zn + 2AlCl₃

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

Al + ZnCl₂    →    Zn + AlCl₃

Balanced Chemical equation:

2Al + 3ZnCl₂    →    3Zn + 2AlCl₃

This is the example of single displacement reaction. Al displace the zinc and form aluminium chloride and zinc metal.

There are two Al three zinc and six chlorine atoms on both side of equation so it is correctly balanced.

Thus it completely follow the law of conservation of mass.

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

This law was given by french chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

Suppose a phosphorus atom forms a bond with a fluorine atom. What type of bond must between these two elements?
Liula [17]

Answer:

Covalent bond

Explanation:

they will make a covalent bond with each other because both are non- metals and have a low electronegativity difference.
