Why does it generally take more enthalpy to ignite a solid than a gas or liquid?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Anuta_ua [19.1K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

It is due to the nature of the reactants

Explanation:

To ignite a solid, we require more heat component compared to liquids and gases. For ignition to occur, oxygen gas combines with a reactant in most cases.

Some factors affect the rate rate at which a chemical proceeds. One of the factors is the nature of reactants.

The solid phase is very slow while the gaseous phase is rapid and fast.

            solid phase < liquid phase <  gas phase

Gases are free and the molecules move in all direction. They easily combine and react very fast.

What mass of CO2 can be produced from the decomposition of 4.8 moles of Fe2(CO3)3?
gavmur [86]

Answer: 633.6 g of CO_2 can be produced from the decomposition of 4.8 moles of Fe_2(CO_3)_3

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation for decomposition of Fe_2(CO_3)_2 is :

Fe_2(CO_3)_2\rightarrow Fe_2O_3+3CO_2

According to stoichiometry :

1 mole of Fe_2(CO_3)_2 produce = 3 moles of CO_2

Thus 4.8 moles of Fe_2(CO_3)_2 will rproduce=\frac{3}{1}\times 4.8=14.4moles  of CO_2

Mass of CO_2=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=14.4moles\times 44g/mol=633.6g

Thus 633.6 g of CO_2 can be produced from the decomposition of 4.8 moles of Fe_2(CO_3)_3

Which subatomic particle can change the molecular geometry of a molecule?
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

Electrons

Explanation:

According to the Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory (VSEPR), the geometry of a molecule depends on the number of electron pairs (regions of electron density) on the central atom of the molecule. Electron pairs on the valence shell of the molecule tend to position themselves as far apart in space as possible to minimize repulsion between them. Hence, the orientation of these electron pairs is the ultimate determinant of the observed geometry of a molecule.

Lone pairs of electrons cause more repulsion than bond pairs of electrons on the central atom of a molecule. Hence when the central atom of a molecule contains lone pairs of electrons, the molecular geometry is usually distorted from the expected geometry on the basis of VSEPR theory.

Hence, electrons are the subatomic particles which are responsible for any change in the observed molecular geometry of a molecule.

What is the hydronium ion concentration in an aqueous hydrobromic acid solution with a pH of 4.530?
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

2.951 × 10⁻⁵ M

Explanation:

Let's consider the acid reaction of hydrobromic acid according to Brönsted-Lowry acid-base theory.

HBr(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇒ Br⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq)

Given the pH = 4.530, we can calculate the concentration of the hydronium ion using the following expression.

pH = -log [H₃O⁺]

[H₃O⁺] = antilog -pH = antilog -4.530 = 2.951 × 10⁻⁵ M

Making solutions is an extremely important component to real-life chemistry. If you make 3.00 L of a solution using 90.0 g of so
kumpel [21]

Answer:

Final concentration of NaOH = 0.75 M

Explanation:

For NaOH :-

Given mass = 90.0 g

Molar mass of NaOH = 39.997 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

Moles= \frac{90.0\ g}{39.997\ g/mol}

Moles\ of\ NaOH= 2.2502\ mol

Molarity is defined as the number of moles present in one liter of the solution. It is basically the ratio of the moles of the solute to the liters of the solution.

The expression for the molarity, according to its definition is shown below as:

Molarity=\frac{Moles\ of\ solute}{Volume\ of\ the\ solution}

Where, Volume must be in Liter.

It is denoted by M.

Given, Volume = 3.00 L

So,

Molarity=\frac{2.2502\ mol}{3.00\ L}=0.75\ M

<u>Final concentration of NaOH = 0.75 M</u>

What is the deference between dalton theory and modern atomic theory​
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Dalton's says atoms of different elements differ in size and mass, whereas the modern theory says they differ in average mass. Dalton's says atoms are individual particles, whereas the modern theory says atoms are divisible into subatomic particles like protons, neutrons, and electrons..
