Answer:

C. NaOH acts as a reactant in the reaction

Explanation:

Because during the saponification process, Na+ replaces the H+ in the fatty acid been used for the saponification process

How many grams of water are made from the reaction of 16.0 grams of o2? given the reaction: 2h2 o2 --> 2h2o
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

18.0 g H₂O

Explanation:

To find the mass of water (H₂O), you need to (1) convert grams O₂ to moles O₂ (via the molar mass), then (2) convert moles O₂ to moles H₂O (via mole-to-mole ratio from equation coefficients), and then (3) convert moles H₂O to grams H₂O (via the molar mass). It is important to arrange the conversions in a way that allows for the cancellation of units. The final answer should have 3 sig figs to match the sig figs of the given value.

Molar Mass (O₂): 2(15.998 g/mol)

Molar Mass (O₂): 31.996 g/mol

Molar Mass (H₂O): 2(1.008 g/mol) + 15.998 g/mol

Molar Mass (H₂O): 18.014 g/mol

2 H₂ + 1 O₂ -----> 2 H₂O

16.0 g O₂          1 mole            2 moles H₂O         18.014 g
---------------  x  ----------------  x  ---------------------  x  -----------------  = 18.0 g H₂O
                        31.996 g             1 mole O₂             1 mole

A metal entrance door swings freely in the winter, but when
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

This phenomenon occurs because the door, being metal and leading to changes in temperature, undergoes proportional and morphological changes, metals face expansion and expansion in the presence of heat, called thermal expansion.

On the other hand, against the cold, thermal contraction is suffered, that is why its volume decreases, and it contracts.

Explanation:

The expansion phenomenon of the door is not linear, since it increases its volume in width and height, therefore simultaneously on the entire surface.

When an area or surface expands, it does so by increasing its dimensions in the same proportion. For example, a metal sheet increases its length and width, which means an increase in area. Area dilation differs from linear dilation in that it involves an increase in area.

The area expansion coefficient is the increase in area that a body of a certain substance experiences, with an area equal to unity, as its temperature rises one degree centigrade. This coefficient is represented by the Greek letter gamma.

Regarding shrinkage, a clear example of this is when a metal foundry or a weld shrinks, sometimes it is difficult to understand with examples like these (doors) because it is little noticeable by our eyes and the dimensional changes for our perspective. it is infima.

How can you tell if a electron configuration is ground state or excited state?
scZoUnD [109]
An excited state refers to an atom with electrons at a higher energy level. More than necessary and a ground state is when all atom's electrons are in their lowest orbital possible
