Answer:

The correct option is C

Explanation:

Nuclear fission is a radioactive process involving the splitting of a large unstable nucleus into smaller/lighter nuclei with the release of large amount of energy. The large amount of energy is achieved by bombarding fast moving neutron against the the unstable nucleus of the large substance/elements undergoing fission. The resulting energy (produced from the fission) is used in nuclear reactors to heat water (to produce electricity), which can also cause a turbine to convert its kinetic energy into mechanical energy.

Consider the chemical equation in equilibrium. A(g) 2B(g) Double headed arrow. C(g) D(g) heat What will happen to the equilibriu

Mazyrski [523]

If the temperature is increased then reaction will shift to the left because heat is absorbed.

<h3>What is equilibrium state?</h3>

Equilibrium of any reaction is that state in which concentration of reactant and concentration of product will be constant.

Given chemical reaction is:

A(g) + 2B(g) ⇄ C(g) + D(g)

From the equilibrium state reaction will move only that side which will contribute to maintain the stable state. In the forward reaction heat is released as mention in the question. So, when the temperature of reaction is increased then it shifts towards the left side by absorbing the heat and maintain the stability.

Hence, option (2) is correct, i.e. It will shift to the left because heat is absorbed.

Using the following equation 5KNO2+2KMnO4+3H2SO4=5KNO3+2MnSO4+K2SO4+3H20. Starting with 2.47 grams of KNO2 and excess KMnO4 how

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Given equation : $5KNO_{2} + 2KMnO_{4} + 3H_{2}SO_{4}\rightarrow 5KNO_{3} + 2MnSO_{4} + K_{2}SO_{4} + 3H_{2}O$

Given information = 2.47 grams KNO2 and excess KMnO4 and we need to find grams of water (H2O).

Since KMnO4 is in excess, so grams of water(H2O) can be calculated using grams of KNO2 with the help of stoichiometry.

To find grams of water(H2O) from grams of KNO2 , we need to follow three steps.

Step 1. Convert 2.47 grams of KNO2 to moles of KNO2.

$Moles = \frac{grams}{molar mass}$

Molar mass of KNO2 = 85.10 g/mol

$Moles = 2.47 gram KNO2\times \frac{1 mol KNO2}{85.10 gram KNO2}$

Moles = 0.0290 mol KNO2

Step 2. Convert moles of KNO2 to moles of H2O using mole ratio.

Mole ratio are the coefficient present in front of the compound in the balanced equation.

Mole ratio of KNO2 : H2O is 5 : 3 (5 coefficient of KNO2 and 3 coefficient of H2O)

$0.0290 mol KNO2\times \frac{3 mol H2O}{5 mol KNO2}$

Mole = 0.0174 mol H2O

Step 3. Convert mole of H2O to grams of H2O

Grams = Moles X molar mass

Molar mass of H2O = 18.00 g/mol

$Grams = 0.0174 mol H2O\times \frac{18 g H2O}{1 mol H2O}$

Grams of water = 0.313 grams H2O

Summary : The above three steps can also be done in a singe setup as shown below.

$2.47 gram KNO2\times \frac{(1 mol KNO2)}{(85.10 gram KNO2)}\times \frac{(3 mol H2O)}{(5 mol KNO2)}\times \frac{(18.00 gram H2O)}{(1mol H2O)}$

In the above setup similar units get cancelled out and we will get grams of H2O as 0.313 grams water (H2O)

(h) The student made observations related to the contents of the Erlenmeyer flask during the titration. Identify an observation

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

During titration indicators are often used to identify chemical changes between reacting species.

For colorless solutions in which no noticeable changes can easily be seen, indicators are the best bet. Most titration processes involves a combination of acids and bases to an end point.

Indicators are substances whose color changes to signal the end of an acid-base reaction. Examples are methyl orange, methyl red, phenolphthalein, litmus, cresol red, cresol green, alizarin R3, bromothymol blue and congo red.

Most of these indicators have various colors when chemical changes occur.

Also, there are heat changes that accompanies most of these reactions. These are also indicators of chemical changes.

Solid cadmium sulfide reacts with an aqueous solution of sulfuric acid . Express your answer as a balanced chemical equation. Id

max2010maxim [7]

Explanation:

When solid cadmium sulfide reacts with an aqueous solution of sulfuric acid then the reaction will be as follows.

$CdS(s) + H_{2}SO_{4}(aq) \rightarrow CdSO_{4}(aq) + H_{2}S(g)$

Hence, ionic equation for this reaction is as follows.

$CdS(s) + 2H^{+}(aq) + SO^{2-}_{4}(aq) \rightarrow Cd^{2+}(aq) + SO^{2-}_{4}(aq) + H_{2}S(g)$

Therefore, net ionic equation for this reaction is as follows.

$CdS(s) + 2H^{+}(aq) \rightarrow Cd^{2+}(aq) + H_{2}S(g)$
