Why is mercury a good material to use in a thermostat?

Chemistry

Butoxors [25]3 years ago

It is a good idea because when mercury heats up, the molecules spread farther apart. Therefore, making them look to have expanded. Thermometers that are digital use a sensor to, as you would say feel the temperature around it.

A reaction has a rate constant of 2.08 × 10−4 s−1 at 26 oC and 0.394 s−1 at 79 oC . Determine the activation barrier for the rea
leva [86]

<u>Answer:</u> The activation energy of the reaction is 124.6 kJ/mol

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate activation energy of the reaction, we use Arrhenius equation, which is:

\ln(\frac{K_{79^oC}}{K_{26^oC}})=\frac{E_a}{R}[\frac{1}{T_1}-\frac{1}{T_2}]

where,

K_{79^oC} = equilibrium constant at 79°C = 0.394s^{-1}

K_{26^oC} = equilibrium constant at 26°C = 2.08\times 10^{-4}s^{-1}

E_a = Activation energy of the reaction = ?

R = Gas constant = 8.314 J/mol K

T_1 = initial temperature = 26^oC=[26+273]K=299K

T_2 = final temperature = 79^oC=[79+273]K=352K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\ln(\frac{0.394}{2.08\times 10^{-4}})=\frac{E_a}{8.314J/mol.K}[\frac{1}{299}-\frac{1}{352}]\\\\E_a=124595J/mol=124.6kJ/mol

Hence, the activation energy of the reaction is 124.6 kJ/mol

Write down the group numbers for carbon,oxygen,nitrogen and sulphur <br>​
Bess [88]

Answer:

Carbon - 14

Oxygen - 16

Nitrogen - 15

Sulphur - 16

Explanation:

The question above is related to the "Periodic Table of Elements" which shows the proper arrangement of elements in a table. Every element falls on a<em> group/family</em> within the table. Each group has its own number, and the table has a total of<u> 18 groups</u><em> (from left to right). </em>They are classified according to <em>similarities in their characteristics</em>. For example, group 1 is composed of <em>alkali metals</em> while group 2 is composed of<em> alkali earth metals</em>.

How many moles are in 36.0g of H20
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 2 moles

Explanation:

Data

mass of H₂O = 36 g

moles of H₂O = ?

Process

1.- Calculate the molar mass of water (H₂O)

H₂O = (1 x 2) + (16 x 1) = 2 + 16 = 18 g

2.- Use proportions and cross multiplication to find the answer.

               18 g of H₂O ---------------- 1 mol

               36 g of H₂O --------------- x

                     x = (36 x 1) / 18

                     x = 36/18

                     x = 2 moles
