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

Chemistry

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.

Answer:

a) increase exponentially.

Explanation:

The vapor pressure is depend only on temperature.

The vapor pressure of liquid does not depend upon amount of liquid. For example whether the liquid is 50 g or 30 g its vapor pressure will remain same according to the temperature.

The temperature and vapor pressure have exponential relationship. As the temperature of liquid increases its vapor pressure also goes to increase. When the temperature of liquid goes to decrease its vapor pressure also decreases.

The change in vapor pressure of substance when temperature changes is given as,

ln P₂/P₁ = ΔH(va)/R (1/T₁ - 1/T₂)

An unknown compound has a percent composition of 52.10% potassium, 15.8% carbon, and 32.1% oxygen. The molar mass of the compoun
lianna [129]
To determine the empirical formula and the molecular formula of the compound, we assume a basis of the compound of 100 g. We do as follows:

       Mass              Moles                     
K    52.10     52.10/39.10 = 1.33         1.33/1.32 ≈ 1
C    15.8       15.8/12         = 1.32         1.32/1.32 ≈ 1
O     32.1      32.1 / 16       =  2.01        2.01/1.32 ≈ 1.5

The empirical formula would most likely be KCO.
The molecular formula would be K2C2O3.
