How does changing the temperature affect the chemical reaction?
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Temperature is directly related to kinetic energy (KE). As we raise temperature, we are raising KE, as well. Particles with more KE move more quickly and with more force.

This means that these particles are more likely to collide with each other and react to allow the chemical reaction to follow through. In turn, if the chemical reaction is more likely to go to completion, the reaction rate increases, eliminating A and B.

The concentration of the solute is not affected by the temperature; in other words, temperature will not increase or decrease the amount of solute in the solution, so eliminate D.

Thus the answer is C.

Hope this helps!

Chloroform flows through a 4.26 inch inside-diameter pipe at the rate of 3.60 gallons per minute. What is the average velocity o
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

1) 0,081 ft/s

2) 0,746 lb/s

Explanation:

The relation between flow and velocity of a fluid is given by:

Q=Av

where:

  • Q, flow [ft3/s]
  • A, cross section of the pipe [ft2]
  • v, velocity of the fluid [ft/s]

1)

To convert our data to appropiate units, we use the following convertion factors:

1 ft=12 inches

1 ft3=7,48 gallons

1 minute=60 seconds

So,

Q=\frac{3,60 gallons}{1 min}*\frac{1min}{60 s}*\frac{1ft3}{7,48gallons}=0,00802 \frac{ft3}{s}

As the pipe has a circular section, we use A=πd^2/4:

d=4,26 inch *\frac{1ft}{12 inch}=0,355ft\\  A=\pi \frac{0,355^{2} }{4}=0,0989ft2

Finally:

Q=vA......................v=Q/A

v=\frac{0,00802ft^{3} /s}{0,0989ft^{2} }=0,081ft/s

2)

The following formula is used to calculate the specific gravity of a material:

SG = ρ / ρW  

where:

  • SG = specific gravity,
  • ρ = density of the material [lb/ft3]
  • ρW = density of water [lb/ft3] = 62.4 lbs/ft3

then:

ρ = SG*ρW   = 1,49* 62,4 lb/ft3 = 93 lb/ft3

To calculate the mass flow, we just use the density of the chloroform in lb/ft3 to relate mass and volume:

0,00802 \frac{ft3}{s}*\frac{93lb}{1ft3}=0,746lb/s

2) Calculate the mass(g) of the following substances:<br> b) 0.119 mole MgCl2
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

MgCl2 = 24 + 2(35.5)

= 95

mass of substance = mol × molar mass

= 0.119 × 95

= 11.305 g
