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

Chemistry

Anvisha [2.4K]3 years ago

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.

Aqua regia, a mixture of HCl and HNO₃, has been used since alchemical times to dissolve many metals, including gold. Its orange
marissa [1.9K]

Aqua regia is an oxidative mixture that is highly corrosive and is composed of hydrochloric acid and nitric acid. The Ea (rev) for the reaction is 3 kJ.

<h3>What is activation energy?</h3>

The activation energy is the minimum required energy by the reactant to undergo changes to form the product. The activation energy of the reverse reaction is given by the difference in the production state and transition state.

It is given as,

Ea (rev) = Ea (fwd) − ΔHrxn

Given,

ΔH° = 83KJ

Ea (fwd) = 86 kJ/mol

Substituting the values above as:

Ea (rev) = 86 - 83

= 3 kJ

Therefore, the activation energy of the reverse reaction is 3 kJ.
