If you used the method of initial rates to obtain the order for no2, predict what reaction rates you would measure in the beginn
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

Rate law is: Rate = k[NO2]^2 = 10 x [NO2]^2

When [NO2] = 0.200 M:

Rate = 10 x 0.200^2 = 0.400 M/s

When [NO2] = 0.100 M:

Rate = 10 x 0.100^2 = 0.100 M/s

When [NO2] = 0.050 M:

Rate = 10 x 0.050^2 = 0.0250 M/s

Explanation:

If you used the method of initial rates to obtain the order for no2, predict what reaction rates you would measure in the beginning of the reaction for initial concentrations of 0.200 m, 0.100 m, & 0.050 m no2.

Rate law is: Rate = k[NO2]^2 = 10 x [NO2]^2

When [NO2] = 0.200 M:

Rate = 10 x 0.200^2 = 0.400 M/s

When [NO2] = 0.100 M:

Rate = 10 x 0.100^2 = 0.100 M/s

When [NO2] = 0.050 M:

Rate = 10 x 0.050^2 = 0.0250 M/s

Suppose the boy skipped his lunch for a day how will the hormones from his pancreasls help his body to cope wwhen his blood suga
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

The hormone glucagon secreted by the pancreatic cells cause the release of glucose from the body's storage.

Explanation:

The pancreas is an organ found inside the abdomen. This organ produces hormones such as:

  • Insulin
  • Glucagon
  • Somatostatin
  • Vasoactive intestinal peptide

Insulin and glucagon are considered primary hormones secreted by the pancreas.

Upon skipping a meal, leading to a drop in blood sugar levels, glucagon is secreted by the pancreas. This hormone then acts on the liver to stimulate the conversion of stored up glycogen present in the liver into glucose. This produced glucose is then released into the blood stream, availing the boy glucose for energy.

Which of the following is an advantage of using biopower?
zavuch27 [327]

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Biopower means production of electricity with the help of biomass. The unused wood, crops, agricultural residue, animal residue etc when burned then they help in generating biopower.

It is a renewable energy. Since biomass is readily available in most of the places. Therefore, the advantage of biopower is that it is also readily available in most places.

For example, bacterial decay produces a certain amount of heat which further helps in the production of energy.

Atoms of which types of elements tend to gain electrons? Atoms of which types of elements tend to lose electrons?
ollegr [7]
Atoms of elements that are nonmetals tend to gain electrons and atoms of metallic elements tend to lose electrons. Metals have few electrons in their valence shells. By losing those electrons, these metals achieve noble gas configuration and satisfy the octet rule. Nonmetals that have close to 8 electrons in their valence shells readily accept electrons to achieve noble gas configuration. An example is the reaction between calcium and oxygen. Calcium is a metal and has 2 valence electrons. Oxygen is a nonmetal and has 6 valence electrons. Calcium gives up its two valence electrons and oxygen accepts them and an ionic bond is established resulting in the formation of anew compound namely calcium oxide.

A civil engineering student is considering buying an electric car. However, the conscious student wants to make sure her carbon
svetlana [45]

Answer:

\text{An gasoline-powered vehicle has }\\\boxed{\text{five times the carbon footprint}}\text{ of an electric vehicle.}

Explanation:

1. Miles travelled in an average month  

\text{Miles} = \text{1 mo} \times \dfrac{\text{52 wk}}{\text{12 mo}} \times \dfrac{\text{5 da}}{\text{1 wk}} \times \dfrac{\text{16 mi}}{\text{1 da}} = \text{347 mi}

2. Using a gasoline powered vehicle  

(a) Moles of heptane used  

n = \text{347 mi} \times \dfrac{\text{1 gal}}{\text{36.5 mi}}\times \dfrac{\text{3.785 L}}{\text{1 gal}} \times \dfrac{\text{679.5 g}}{\text{1L}} \times \dfrac{ \text{1 mol}}{\text{100.20 g}}= \text{244 mol}

(b) Equation for combustion  

C₇H₁₆ + O₂ ⟶ 7CO₂ + 8H₂O  

(c) Moles of CO₂ formed  

n = \text{244 mol heptane} \times \dfrac{\text{7 mol CO$_{2}$}}{\text{1 mol heptane}} = \text{1710 mol CO$_{2}$}

(d) Volume of CO₂ formed  

At 20 °C and 1 atm, the molar volume of a gas is 24.0 L.  

V = \text{1710 mol } \times \dfrac{\text{24.0 L}}{\text{1 mol}} \times \dfrac{\text{1 gal}}{\text{3.785 L}} = \textbf{10 800 gal}

3. Using an electric vehicle  

(a) Theoretical energy used  

\text{Theor. Energy} = \text{347 mi} \times \dfrac{\text{1 kWh}}{\text{5.2 mi}} = \text{66.7 kWh theor.}

(b) Actual energy used  

The power station is only 85 % efficient.  

\text{Actual energy used} = \text{66.7 kWh theor.} \times \dfrac{\text{100 kWh actual}}{\text{ 85 kWh theor.}}\times \dfrac{\text{3600 kJ}}{\text{1 kWh}}\\\\ = 2.82\times 10^{5} \text{ kJ}\

(c) Combustion of CH₄

CH₄ + 2O₂ ⟶ CO₂ +2 H₂O

(d) Equivalent volume of CO₂

The heat of combustion of methane is -802.3 kJ·mol⁻¹  

V= 2.82\times 10^{5}\text{ kJ} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol methane}}{\text{802.3 kJ}} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol CO$_{2}$} }{\text{1 mol methane}} \times \dfrac{ \text{24.0 L}}{ \text{1 mol CO$_{2}$}}\\\\ \times \dfrac{\text{1 gal}}{\text{3.875 L}} = \textbf{2180 gal}

4. Comparison  

\dfrac{V_{\text{gasoline}}}{V_{\text{electric}}} = \dfrac{10800}{2180} = 5.0\\\\ \text{An gasoline-powered vehicle has }\\ \boxed{\textbf{ five times the carbon footprint}}\text{ of an electric vehicle.}
