Answer:

speed up the reaction.

slow down the reaction.

Explanation:

Control rods are used in nuclear reactors to control the fission rate of reactions. Their compositions includes certain elements such as boron, cadmium, silver, or indium, which are capable of absorbing many neutrons without themselves fissioning.

Control rods may be inserted into a nuclear reactor core to reduce the reaction rate or withdrawn to increase it depending on the desired rate of reaction.

Exam 3 Material

Homework Page Without Visible Answers

This page has all of the required homework for the material covered in the third exam of the first semester of General Chemistry. The textbook associated with this homework is CHEMISTRY The Central Science by Brown, LeMay, et.al. The last edition I required students to buy was the 12th edition (CHEMISTRY The Central Science, 12th ed. by Brown, LeMay, Bursten, Murphy and Woodward), but any edition of this text will do for this course.

Note: You are expected to go to the end of chapter problems in your textbook, find similar questions, and work out those problems as well. This is just the required list of problems for quiz purposes. You should also study the Exercises within the chapters. The exercises are worked out examples of the questions at the back of the chapter. The study guide also has worked out examples.

These are bare-bones questions. The textbook questions will have additional information that may be useful and that connects the problems to real life applications, many of them in biology.

Identify whether each species functions as a Brønsted-Lowry acid or a Brønsted-Lowry base in this net ionic equation. HF (aq) +
VMariaS [17]

Explanation:

A Bronsted-Lowry base is a substance that accepts a proton in the form of a hydrogen (H) atom.

On the other hand;

Bronsted-Lowry acid is the substance that donates the proton.

HF (aq) + SO32- ⇌ F- + HSO3-

In the forward reaction;

Bronsted-Lowry acid : HF

Bronsted-Lowry base: SO32-

In the backward reaction;

Bronsted-Lowry acid : HSO3-

Bronsted-Lowry base: F-

The conjugate base of HF is F-

The conjugate acid of SO32- is HSO3-

What mass of KNO, will dissolve in 100 g of water at 100°C?
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

About 170-180 grams of potassium nitrate are completely dissolved in 100 g.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, according to the reported solubility data for potassium nitrate at different temperatures on the attached picture, it is possible to bear out that about 170-180 grams of potassium nitrate are completely dissolved in 100 g; considering that the solubility is the maximum amount of a solute that can be dissolved in a solvent, in this case water.

Best regards!

How many liters of carbon dioxide will 0.5 mole of lithium hydroxide (LiOH) absorb? (One mole of any gas occupies 22.4 L under c
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

0.5 moles of LiOH will absorb 5.6 L of CO_2

Explanation:

According to law of conservation of mass, the sum of mass on the reactant side must be equal to the sum of mass on product side.

The balanced chemical equation is:

2LiOH+CO_2\rightarrow Li_2CO_3+H_2O

2 moles of LiOH absorb 1 mole of CO_2 i.e. 22.4 Liters at STP

0.5 moles of LiOH absorb

=\frac{22.4}{2}\times {0.5}=5.6Liters

0.5 moles of LiOH will absorb 5.6 L of CO_2

A compound is found to contain 73.23% xenon name 26.77% oxygen by mass. What is the empirical formula for this compound ?
Luba_88 [7]

The empirical formula is XeO₃.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Assume 100 g of the compound is present. This changes the percents to grams:

Given mass in g:

Xenon = 73.23 g

Oxygen = 26.77 g

We have to convert it to moles.

Xe = 73.23/   131.293 = 0.56 moles

O = 26.77/ 16 = 1.67 moles

Divide by the lowest value, seeking the smallest whole-number ratio:

Xe = 0.56/ 0.56 = 1

O = 1.67/ 0.56 = 2.9 ≈3

So the empirical formula is XeO₃.
