Answer:

The liquid boils.

Explanation:

Vapor pressure is simply defined as the pressure exerted on a substance (solid/liquid) by the vapor of the substance collected just at the top of the surface of the substance. In concise words, it is the pressure of Vapor that is in contact with its solid or liquid state.

For a liquid, it is the pressure of the Vapor gathering at the top of the surface of the liquid.

When this Vapor pressure matches the external pressure, the temperature stays constant and the molecules of the liquid all through the liquid can gain enough energy, rise to the surface of the liquid and break free in gaseous form; thereby, boiling.

The definition of boiling point basically explains that it is the point at which temperature stays constant, and the vapour pressure of the liquid matches the atmospheric/external pressure around the liquid and its liquid molecules change into vapor.

This is why liquids boil faster at higher altitudes; the atmospheric pressure at higher altitudes is reduced, hence, the temperature at which liquid boils at this high altitude is normally lower than its known boiling point temperature.

It is also why food cooks to a temperature higher than the boiling point of water in a pressure cooker/pot. The added pressure ensures that the cooking water boils at temperatures higher than its boiling point; thereby exposing the cooking ingredients to a higher temperature, leading to faster cooking.

Hence, it is obvious why boiling is the answer to this question.

I wanted known how many of the reaction below is energy released
Tema [17]

Answer:

2

Explanation:

In two reactions energy is released.

1) C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂    →    6H₂O + 6CO₂ + heat

It is cellular respiration reaction.It involves the breakdown of glucose molecule in the presence of oxygen to yield large amount of energy. Water and carbon dioxide are also produced as a byproduct.

Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + 38ATP

2) 2H₂ + O₂   →    2H₂O  ΔH = -486 kj/mol

The given reaction is formation of water. In this reaction oxygen and hydrogen react to form water and 486 kj/mol is also released.

The reaction in which heat is released is called exothermic reaction.

Exothermic reaction:

The type of reactions in which energy is released are called exothermic reactions.

In this type of reaction energy needed to break the bonds are less than the energy released during the bond formation.

For example:

Chemical equation:

C + O₂   →  CO₂

ΔH = -393 Kj/mol

it can be written as,

C + O₂   →  CO₂ + 393 Kj/mol

Endothermic reactions:

The type of reactions in which energy is absorbed are called endothermic reactions.

In this type of reaction energy needed to break the bond are higher than the energy released during bond formation.

For example:

C + H₂O   →  CO  + H₂

ΔH = +131 kj/mol

it can be written as,

C +  H₂O  + 131 kj/mol  →  CO  + H₂

CHEMISTRY HELP PLEASE!
WINSTONCH [101]
1) is called 3-methyl hexane because we choose the longest possible continuous chain which has 6 carbons and start numbering from the side that gives the branch lowest possible number.

2) is called 2-methyl-2-butene because we have to give the double bond lowest possible number but in this case double bond in position 2 from both sides so we start from the side gives the branch number 2 not 3

3)  is called 7-Ethyl-4-decyne because we have to start from the side that gives the triple bond lowest possible number which is 4 and the branch will be at position 7 (note that the name of 10 carbon is incorrectly written in the choices is called decane (as alkane) or decyne when contains triple bond)

4) is called 2,3-Dimethyl pentane because it is 5 carbons (pentane) and we have two branches of the same alkyl (dimethyl) in positions 2 and 3

5) is called 1-Butanol because it contains 4 carbons and has one OH as functional group which take the suffix -ol in position 1 so we said the name as 1-butanol (remember to give the functional group lowest possible number)

6) is called propyl butyl ether because the longest chain is 4 carbons which called butyl and the smallest chain is propyl, it also has another name 1-Propoxy butane <span />

How many moles are in 3.5 x 10^24 molecules of methane gas?
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

5.81 moles

Explanation:

To find the number of moles (n) in 3.5 x 10²⁴ molecules of methane gas, we divide the number of molecules by Avagadro's number (nA). That is,

n = number of molecules ÷ 6.02 × 10²³

According to this question, 3.5 x 10^24 molecules of methane gas was given, hence,

n = 3.5 × 10²⁴ ÷ 6.02 × 10²³

n = 3.5/6.02 × 10(24 - 23)

n = 0.5814 × 10¹

n = 5.81 moles
