If most objects are made up of free space then why can we put our hands through a book or wall?

I suppose you mean to ask why we can't go through obstacles.

Any atom is surrounded by an electronic cloud. When two atoms get close to each other, the electronic clouds repel each other, preventing them from interpenetrating each other. That same phenomenon, on a larger scale, prevents us from going through matter.

When solving an equation using Gay-Lussac's law, which of the following steps do not apply? A. List your knowns and unknowns. B.

suter [353]

Answer:

C. Plug the unknowns into the ideal gas law formula.

Explanation:

Gay-Lussac's law states that:

"For a constant mass of an ideal gas kept at constant volume, the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature"

Mathematically, it can be written as:

$\frac{p_1}{T_1}=\frac{p_2}{T_2}$

where

p1 is the initial pressure

T1 is the initial temperature (in Kelvin)

p2 is the final pressure

T2 is the final temperature (in Kelvin)

Therefore, in order to solve for one of the 4 variables, the following steps must be adopted:

A. List your knowns and unknowns.

B. Convert temperature to kelvin.

D. Solve for the unknown.

While the following step is not needed:

C. Plug the unknowns into the ideal gas law formula.

Because we do not need to use the ideal gas law formula.

For the reaction a2 + b2 → 2ab, ea(fwd) = 105 kj/mol and ea(rev) = 77 kj/mol. assuming the reaction occurs in one step, calculat

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer is: 28 kJ.
Chemical reaction: A₂ + B₂ ⇄ 2AB.
Ea(forward) = 105 kJ/mol.
Ea(reverse) = 77 kJ/mol.
ΔH(reaction) = ?
<span>The enthalpy change of reaction is the change in the energy of the reactants to the products.
</span>ΔH(reaction) = Ea(forward) - Ea(reverse).
ΔH(reaction) = 105 kJ/mol - 77 kJ/mol.
ΔH(reaction) = 28 kJ/mol; this is endothermic reaction (ΔH <span>> 0).</span>

Can someone show me a step by step with the answer?

Answer:

6 mols HCl

Explanation:

(I'm an AP chemistry student but not perfect at this stuff)

you can use the Molarity=Moles/L equation here:

(6M)=(moles HCl)/(1L)

divide by 1 on both sides to isolate the moles of HCl

this gets you 6 moles HCl.

Again I'm just a student so my answer might be wrong, but this question should just require the M=mols/L equation :).
