What determines the amount of chemical energy a substance has?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ratling [72]3 years ago
6 0


Chemical energy  is the kind of energy stored in the bonds formed by atoms and molecules in chemical compounds and elements.  This energy is  released during a chemical  reaction and  heat is often given out in the process. These kind of reactions where heat is given out as a by product are called exothermic reactions.

The major factor that determines how much chemical energy a substance has is the mass of that substance. Mass is defined as the amount of matter in a substance.

The higher  the mass of a substance, the more concentrated that substance is and subsequently the greater the number of atoms and molecules.

Logically, the higher the number of atoms and molecules  then the greater the number of bonds in that substance and subsequently the more the amount of chemical energy  stored therein.

How fast is an electron travelling If it has a wavelength of 8.20 km?
Lemur [1.5K]

The electron is travelling with a velocity of 1.123 × 10⁷m/s if it has a wavelength of 8.20 km.

<h3>How to calculate velocity of an electron?</h3>

The velocity at which an electron travels can be calculated using the following formula:

λ = h/mv

Where;

  • H = Planck's constant
  • m = mass of electron
  • v = velocity of electron
  • λ = wavelength

  • Planck's constant (h) = 6.626 × 10−³⁴ J⋅s.
  • mass of electron (m) = 9.109 × 10−³¹ kg
  • wavelength = 8200m

8200 = 6.626×10−³⁴ / 9.109 × 10−³¹V

8200 = 7.3 × 10-⁴V

V = 8200 ÷ 7.3 × 10-⁴

V = 1.123 × 10⁷m/s

Therefore, the electron is travelling with a velocity of 1.123 × 10⁷m/s if it has a wavelength of 8.20 km.

The indicator methyl red has different molecular structures at high and low pH.
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

Methyl red is an indicator widely used in quality control of oxides as Zinc oxide in the titration with sulfuric acid.

As is used in titrations of acid-base reactions the indicator change in colour. Is red when the pH < 4.4 (Acidic Solutions) and is yellow when pH > 6.2 (Neutral-Basic solutions).

A change in colour means the structure of the indicator is changing with pH. Thus, the answer is:

Products: 1-methylcyclohexene, 3-methylcyclohexene, methylenecyclohexane
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The reaction that we are considering here is quite a knotty reaction. It is difficult to decide if the mechanism is actually E1 or E2 since both are equally probable based on the mass of scientific evidence regarding this reaction. However, we can easily assume that the methylenecyclohexane was formed by an E1 mechanism.

Looking at the products, one could convincingly assert that the reaction leading to the formation of the two main products proceeds via an E1 mechanism with the formation of a carbocation intermediate as has been shown in mechanism attached to this answer. Possible rearrangement of the carbocation yields the 3-methylcyclohexene product.

Ice cubes in water and explain why it is either a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture.
alexandr402 [8]
Ice cubes are made of water which has undergone freezing, which made it into ice. Both ice cubes and water have the same properties. But in this case, when ice and water are mixed, it is considered a heterogeneous mixture and not homogeneous. Why? Going back to the definition of what a heterogeneous mixture is, this mixture shows a visible difference of difference phases or substances. In the ice and water mixture, it is obviously seen that ice is solid, and water is liquid.
