Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A catalyst is defined as the substance that lowers the activation energy of a chemical reaction without itself getting consumed so that there will be increase in rate of reaction.

As catalyst lowers the activation energy so, reactant molecules with lower energy also participates in the reaction. Hence, morr collisions occur due to which there is rapid formation of products.

Thus, we can conclude that statement the reaction is completed in a shorter amount of time, best describes the result of using a catalyst in a chemical reaction.

1) How much energy would be required to melt 15.0 g of ice at 0°C?

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

5010J

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass (m) = 15g

Heat of fusion (ΔHf) = 334J/g

Heat required (Q) =..?

The heat energy required to melt the ice can be obtained as follow:

Q = m·ΔHf

Q = 15 x 334

Q = 5010J

Therefore, the heat energy required to melt the ice is 5010J.

Hydrocyanic acid, HCN, is a weak acid. (a) Write the chemical equation for the dissociation of HCN in water. (b) Identify the Br

12345 [234]

Answer: a) $HCN(aq.)+H_2O\rightleftharoons H_3O^+(aq.)+CN^-(aq.)$

b) $HCN$ : acid $CN^-$ :conjugate base.

And, $H_2O$ : base $H_3O^+$ : conjugate acid.

c) $HCN(aq.)+NaOH(aq)\rightleftharoons NaCN(aq.)+H_2O(l)$

d) $NaCN(aq)\rightarrow Na^+(aq.)+CN^-(aq)$

e) $NaCN(aq)+HCl(aq)\rightarrow NaCl(aq.)+HCN(aq)$

Explanation:

a) Weak acid is defined as the acid which does not completely dissociates when dissolved in water. They have high pH. These releases $H^+$ ions in their aqueous states.

The equation for the dissociation of $HCN$ acid is given by:

$HCN(aq.)+H_2O\rightleftharoons H_3O^+(aq.)+CN^-(aq.)$

b) According to the Bronsted-Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which looses donates protons and thus forming conjugate base and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons and thus forming conjugate acid.

For the given chemical equation:

$HCN$ is loosing a proton, thus it is considered as an acid and after losing a proton, it forms $CN^-$ which is a conjugate base.

And, $H_2O$ is gaining a proton, thus it is considered as a base and after gaining a proton, it forms $H_3O^+$ which is a conjugate acid.

c) Neutralization reaction is a reaction in which an acid reacts with base to produce salt and water.

$HCN(aq.)+NaOH(aq)\rightarrow NaCN(aq.)+H_2O(l)$

d) The chemical equation for dissociation of $NaCN$ in water.

$NaCN(aq)\rightarrow Na^+(aq.)+CN^-(aq)$

e) The chemical equation for the reaction of $NaCN$ and $HCI$

$NaCN(aq)+HCl(aq)\rightarrow NaCl(aq.)+HCN(aq)$

Select all that apply.When the products of a reaction are hotter than the reactants

andrezito [222]

When the products of a reaction are hotter than the reactants, an exothermic reaction is happening. An exothermic reaction is a reaction that releases energy to the surroundings. The energy released should be more than what is absorbed in order to maintain the reaction.

Why dose sand absorbe heat faster than the water at the beach? and how do you know?

TiliK225 [7]

The specific heat capacity of sand is much less than water because of which sands require less energy to cool down and similarly less energy to be heated... because of this it feels like sands absrob heat faster than water
