Which best explains why metal cooking utensils often have plastic coating on the handles

Metal solids contain a positively-charged cation surrounded by a "sea" of delocalised, negatively-charged electrons.

The electrons are able to move freely, and hence transfer kinetic energy throughout the implement at a much quicker rate than non-metals.

Plastic is made of non-metals (Mostly carbon and hydrogen) and therefore is a poor thermal conductor.

Therefore, by coating the metal utensil in plastic, the rate of heat energy transfer to the person in contact's hand is decreased.

Part a use these data to calculate the heat of hydrogenation of buta-1,3-diene to butane. c4h6(g)+2h2(g)→c4h10(g)
Reptile [31]

<u>Answer:</u> The heat of hydrogenation of the reaction is coming out to be 234.2 kJ.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Enthalpy change is defined as the difference in enthalpies of all the product and the reactants each multiplied with their respective number of moles. It is represented as \Delta H

The equation used to calculate enthalpy change is of a reaction is:

\Delta H_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta H_{(product)}]-\sum [n\times \Delta H_{(reactant)}]

For the given chemical reaction:

C_4H_6(g)+2H_2(g)\rightarrow C_4H_{10}(g)

The equation for the enthalpy change of the above reaction is:

\Delta H_{rxn}=[(1\times \Delta H_{(C_4H_{10})})]-[(1\times \Delta H_{(C_4H_6)})+(2\times \Delta H_{(H_2)})]

We are given:

\Delta H_{(C_4H_{10})}=-2877.6kJ/mol\\\Delta H_{(C_4H_6)}=-2540.2kJ/mol\\\Delta H_{(H_2)}=-285.8kJ/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta H_{rxn}=[(1\times (-2877.6))]-[(1\times (-2540.2))+(2\times (-285.8))]\\\\\Delta H_{rxn}=234.2J

Hence, the heat of hydrogenation of the reaction is coming out to be 234.2 kJ.

La columna de la izquierda corresponde a los tipos de sales y la columna derecha a los tipos de fórmula que presentan. Relaciona
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

1. Hidracidas a. MX

2 Acidas c. MHXO

3. Oxacidas  b. MXO

4. Basicas d. M(OH)X

Explanation:

¡Hola!

En este caso, de acuerdo con el concepto de sal, la cual está generalmente dada por la presencia de al menos un metal y un no metal, es posible encontrar cuatro tipos de estas; hidrácidas, oxácidas, básicas y ácidas, en las que las primeras dos son neutras pero la segunda tiene presencia de oxígeno, la tercera tiene iones hidróxido adicionales y la cuarta iones hidrógeno de más.

Debido a la anterior, es posible relacionar cada pareja de la siguiente manera:

1. Hidracidas a. MX

2 Acidas c. MHXO

3. Oxacidas  b. MXO

4. Basicas d. M(OH)XO

En las que M se refiere a un metal, X a un no metal, H a hidrógeno y O a oxígeno.

¡Saludos!

Which elements have the most properties in common with magnesium
Lunna [17]
The group that magnesium is in has all the elements that are alike to it.
Magnesium  is in group 2 which is the alkaline earth metals. So elements similar to it would be calcium, beryllium!

----If you need anymore help in chemistry.....just ask me....im very good at chemistry!

A solution is prepared by dissolving 0.23 mol of hypochlorous acid and 0.27 mol of sodium hypochlorite in water sufficient to yi
finlep [7]

Answer:

hypochlorite ion

Explanation:

The hypochlorous acid, HClO, is a weak acid with Ka = 1.36x10⁻³, when this acid is in solution with its conjugate base, ClO⁻ (From sodium hypochlorite, NaClO) a buffer is produced. When a strong acid as HCl is added, the reaction that occurs is:

HCl + ClO⁻ → HClO + Cl⁻.

Where more hypochlorous acid is produced.

That means, the HCl reacts with the hypochlorite ion present in solution
