Only gas or vapor can be superheated. Use water as an example. Water at sea level boils at 212 degrees F. When heated to 212 degrees F, the molecules that make up water are moving at a high enough speed that they overcome the air pressure above the water. And for supercooled only liquids or solids can be supercooled for example Liquid water at sea level has a saturation (boiling) temperature of 212 degrees F. If we were to add heat to the saturated water, it would first boil away with no change in temperature (remember latent heat?) and then become superheated if still more heat were added to the vapor (steam) after it had all turned to a vapor.

Based on Dalton's atomic theory, which of the following is true about all atoms of the same element?
Phantasy [73]

Dalton's atomic theory proposed that all matter was composed of atoms, indivisible and indestructible building blocks. While all atoms of an element were Identical, different elements had atoms of differing size and mass.

So it would be B: They have the same properties.

about how long does it take for the reaction to reach equilibrium in this concentration versus time graph?
yarga [219]

Answer: option D. 4.5 seconds.


Explanation:


The equilibrium reaction is H₂O ⇄ H₂ + O₂


The chemical equilibrium is a dynamic one. Two reactions are happening symultaneously: the forward reaction (H₂O → H₂ + O₂) ,to the right, and the reverse reaction (H₂O ← H₂ + O₂), to the left. At equilibrium both reactions have the same rate, which makes that the total, measurable quantity of reactants and products remain constant.


In the figure you see:

  • The vertical axis measures concentration.
  • The horizontal axis measures time (seconds).
  • The two blue lines, the concentrations of H₂ and O₂, become flat (reach a zero slope) between 4 and 5 seconds.
  • The red line, the concentration of H₂O, becomes flat, also, between 4 and 5 seconds.
  • Hence, the concentrations of the reactant and the products do not change after that time meaning that the reaction has reached the equilibrium at about 4.5 seconds.
