Copper is used in household wiring because it is a good conductor of electricity and heat. Since conductors have low resistance, therefore copper has low resistance too.

Your answer is: Good conductor or electricity and heat

Can somebody explain step by step how to solve decomposition reactions?
SVEN [57.7K]
A decomposition reaction occurs when one reactant breaks down into two or more products. It can be represented by the general equation:

AB → A + B
In this equation, AB represents the reactant that begins the reaction, and A and B represent the products of the reaction. The arrow shows the direction in which the reaction occurs.

Given the following equation: 2K + Cl2 -> 2KCl How many grams of KCl is produced from 4.00 g of K and excess Cl2?
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

42.65g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of K = 4g

Unknown: Mass of KCl

Solution:

  Complete equation of the reaction:

              2K + Cl₂ → 2KCl

To solve this problem, we know that the reactant in short supply is potassium K and this dictates the amount of products that would be formed. The chlorine gas is in excess and we can't use it to determine the amount of product that would form.

Now, we work from the known to the unknown. Since we know the mass of K given in the reaction, we can simply find the molar relationship between the reacting potassium and the product. We simply convert the mass to mole and compare to the product. From there we can find the mass of KCl that would be produced.

Calculating number of moles of K

      Number of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

        Number of moles of K =  \frac{4}{39} = 0.103mol

From the given reaction equation:

   2 moles of K will produce 2 moles of KCl

 Therefore 0.103mol of K will produce 0.103mol of KCl

To find the mass of KCl produced,

   Mass of KCl = number of moles of KCl x molar mass

Molar mass of KCl = 39 + 35.5 = 74.5gmol⁻¹

Mass of KCl = 0.103 x 74.5 = 42.65g

If the initial [NO2] is 0.260 M, it will take ________ s for the concentration to drop to 0.150 M. If the initial is 0.260 , it
Nitella [24]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

At elevated temperature, nitrogen dioxide decomposes to nitrogen oxide and oxygen gas

NO_2\rightarrow NO+\frac{1}{2}O_2

The reaction is second order for NO_2 with a rate constant of 0.543M^{-1}s^{-1} at 300°C. If the initial [NO₂] is 0.260 M, it will take ________ s for the concentration to drop to 0.150 M

a) 1.01    b) 5.19     c) 0.299      d) 0.0880     e) 3.34

<u>Answer:</u> The time taken is 5.19 seconds

<u>Explanation:</u>

The integrated rate law equation for second order reaction follows:

k=\frac{1}{t}\left (\frac{1}{[A]}-\frac{1}{[A]_o}\right)

where,

k = rate constant = 0.543M^{-1}s^{-1}

t = time taken  = ?

[A] = concentration of substance after time 't' = 0.150 M

[A]_o = Initial concentration = 0.260 M

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.543=\frac{1}{t}\left (\frac{1}{(0.150)}-\frac{1}{(0.260)}\right)\\\\t=5.19s

Hence, the time taken is 5.19 seconds

If the solubility of a gas is 10.5 g/L at 525 kPa pressure, what is the solubility of the gas when the pressure is 225 kPa? Show
Talja [164]

Answer:

4.5 g/L.

Explanation:

  • To solve this problem, we must mention Henry's law.
  • Henry's law states that at a constant temperature, the amount of a given gas dissolved in a given type and volume of liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas in equilibrium with that liquid.
  • It can be expressed as: P = KS,

P is the partial pressure of the gas above the solution.

K is the Henry's law constant,

S is the solubility of the gas.

  • At two different pressures, we have two different solubilities of the gas.

<em>∴ P₁S₂ = P₂S₁.</em>

P₁ = 525.0 kPa & S₁ = 10.5 g/L.

P₂ = 225.0 kPa & S₂ = ??? g/L.

∴ S₂ = P₂S₁/P₁ = (225.0 kPa)(10.5 g/L) / (525.0 kPa) = 4.5 g/L.
