Answer:

2.__ Dissolving two solids in water before mixing them together.

4.__ Grinding a solid into fine particles.

5.__ Adding an enzyme catalyst.

Explanation:

The rate of reaction is the measure of the speed of a chemical reaction.

Some factors affects the rate of reactions such as pressure, temperature, concentration, surface area, presence of catalyst.

Reactions in liquid medium are much faster than those between solids because there is a flow of substances. As they come in contact with one another, collision begins to take place.
Grinding a solid into fine particles increases the surface area. An increase in surface area increases the rate of reaction.
Adding an enzyme catalyst lowers the activation energy and reduces the energy barrier that must be overcome before a reaction takes place.

Part 1: Name the type of chemical reaction that occurs when calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) reacts with nitric acid (HNO3).

liberstina [14]

Answer:

For 1: Neutralization reaction

For 2: Zinc is more reactive than lead and less reactive than calcium.

Explanation:

For (1):

When a base reacts with an acid to form a salt and water molecule, it is known as a neutralization reaction. The general equation follows:

$HX+BOH\rightarrow BX+H_2O$

The chemical equation for the reaction of calcium hydroxide and nitric acid follows:

$Ca(OH)_2(aq)+2HNO_3(aq)\rightarrow Ca(NO_3)_2(aq)+2H_2O(l)$

For (2):

A single displacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its salt solution. The general chemical equation follows:

$A+BX\rightarrow AX+B$

where,

Metal A is more reactive than metal B

The reactivity of metals is judged by the reactivity series where a metal lying above in the series is more reactive than the metal lying below it.

From the reactivity series below,

Zinc lies above in the series than lead thus is more reactive and will easily replace lead from its aqueous solution.

While zinc lies below in the series than calcium thus is less reactive and will not easily replace calcium from its aqueous solution.

$Zn(s)+Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow Zn(NO_3)_2(aq)+Pb(s)$

$Zn(s)+CaCl_2(aq)\rightarrow \text{No reaction}$

If a neutral atom with 88 electrons undergoes 2 rounds of beta minus decay, what will be the new element?

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

The new element will be thorium-226 (²²⁶Th).

Explanation:

The beta decay is given by:

$^{A}_{Z}X \rightarrow ^{A}_{Z+1}Y + \beta^{-} + \bar{\nu_{e}}$

Where:

A: is the mass number

Z: is the number of protons

β⁻: is a beta particle = electron

$\bar{\nu_{e}}$ : is an antineutrino

The neutral atom has 88 electrons, so:

$e^{-} = 88 = Z$

Hence the element is radium (Ra), it has A = 226.

If Ra undergoes 2 rounds of beta minus decay, we have:

$^{226}_{88}Ra \rightarrow ^{226}_{89}Ac + \beta^{-} + \bar{\nu_{e}}$

$^{226}_{89}Ac \rightarrow ^{226}_{90}Th + \beta^{-} + \bar{\nu_{e}}$

Therefore, if a neutral atom with 88 electrons undergoes 2 rounds of beta minus decay the new element will be thorium-226 (²²⁶Th).

I hope it helps you!

What is the freezing point of a solution made with 1.31 mol of CHCl3 in 530.0 g of CCl4 (Kf =29.8 degrees C/m, Freezing point of

Allisa [31]

73.606 °C is the freezing point of the solution made with with 1.31 mol of CHCl3 in 530.0 g of CCl4.

Explanation:

Data given:

number of moles of CHCl3 = 1.31 moles

mass of solvent CHCl3 = 530 grams or 0.53 kg

Kf = 29.8 degrees C/m

freezing point of pure solvent or CCl4 = -22.9 degrees

freezing point = ?

The formula used to calculate the freezing point of the mixture is

ΔT = iKf.m

m= molality

molality = $\frac{moles of solute}{mass of solvent in kilograms}$

putting the value in the equation:

molality= $\frac{1.31}{0.53}$

= 2.47 M

Putting the values in freezing point equation

ΔT = 1.31 x 29.8 x 2.47

ΔT = 73.606 degrees
