A substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction is called a catalyst. As a catalyst speeds up the reaction, as an enzyme does.

What happens to the number in a measurement that is converted from kilometers to meters

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

You multiply the number by 1000 when you convert a measurement from kilometres to metres.

The prefix kilo means ×1000, so

1 kilometre means 1 metre ×1000.

Consider the following equilibrium: 4KO2(s) + 2H2O(g) 4KOH(s) + 3O2(g) Which of the following is a correct equilibrium expressio

jeka57 [31]

To be able to write correctly the equilibrium expression of a reaction, we need to know the balanced reaction and the phases of the substances in the reaction. When substances are solid, pure liquid they are not included in the expression. We do as follows:

4KO2(s) + 2H2O(g) = 4KOH(s) + 3O2(g)

K = [O2]^3 / [H2O]^2

Suppose a compound is involved in three different reactions denoted R1, R2, and R3. Tripling the concentration of this reactant

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

The order of reaction is as follows, R1 = 1; R2 = 2; R3 = 0

Explanation:

The rate of a chemical reaction is the number of moles of reactants consumed per unit time or the number of moles of products formed per unit. the rate of a chemical reaction is affected by the concentration of reactants

The relationship between the rate of a chemical reaction and the concentration of its reactants is given by the rate law or equation.

Generally, the rate equation is given as;

Rate = k[A]ᵃ[B]ᵇ..., where k = rate constant which is independent of concentration of the reactants, [A] = concentration of reactant A, a = order of reaction A, [B] = concentration of reaction B, b = order of reaction B.

For the given reactions R1, R2 and R3

For R1; rate = 3, Concentration = 3[A]

3 = k[A]3ˣ

3¹ = k[A]3ˣ

Since rate is proportional to concentration, therefore, the order of reaction, x = 1

For R2; rate = 9, Concentration = 3[A]

9 = k[A]3ˣ

3² = k[A]3ˣ

Since rate is proportional to concentration, therefore, the order of reaction, x = 2

For R1; rate = 1, Concentration = 3[A]

1 = k[A]3ˣ

3⁰ = k[A]3ˣ

Since rate is proportional to concentration, therefore, the order of reaction, x = 0

Therefore, the order of reaction is as follows, R1 = 1; R2 = 2; R3 = 0

yuradex [85]

Answer:

3.14 grams of ammonium thiocyanate must be used to react completely with 6.5 g barium hydroxide octahydrate.

Explanation:

$Ba(OH)_2.8H_2O(s)+NH_4SCN(s)\rightarrow Ba(SCN)_2(s)+8H_2O(l)+NH_3(g)$

The balance chemical equation is :

$Ba(OH)_2.8H_2O(s)+2NH_4SCN(s)\rightarrow Ba(SCN)_2(s)+10H_2O(l)+2NH_3(g)$

Mass of barium hydroxide octahydrate = 6.5 g

Moles of barium hydroxide octahydrate = $\frac{6.5 g}{315 g/mol}=0.020635 mol$

According to reaction, 2 moles of ammonium thiocyanate reacts with1 mole of barium hydroxide octahydrate. The 0.020635 moles of barium hydroxide octahydrate will react with:

$\frac{2}{1}\times 0.020635 mol=0.04127 mol$

Mass of 0.04127 moles of ammonium thiocyanate;

$0.04127 mol\times 76 g/mol=3.136 g\approx 3.14 g$

3.14 grams of ammonium thiocyanate must be used to react completely with 6.5 g barium hydroxide octahydrate

6.0 g of copper was heated from 20 degree c to 90 degree c . How much energy was used to heat cu?

Darina [25.2K]

Copper heat capacity would be 0.385J/C*gram which means it needs 0.385 Joule of energy to increase 1 gram of copper temperature by 1 Celcius. The calculation would be:
energy= heat capacity *mass * temperature difference
energy= 0.385J/C*gram * 6g * (90-20)
energy= 161.7J
