If the same amount of solid sodium (Na) is used in each reaction, which shape will increase the reaction rate the most?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Luba_88 [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: (B.) The reaction rate is highest when sodium powder is used.

Explanation:

Five factors that affect the rate of reactions are : Temperature, concentration, nature of catalyst, chemical nature of reactants and  nature of subdivision of particles (heavier size versus smaller or powdered particles).

Nature of subdivision of particles :

Since reactions occur at the boundary between two phases therefore tyhe rate of reaction depends on surface contact available between them. A powdered particle has generally more surface area than the particle in solid form.

Draw the Lewis dot structure for RbIO2. Include all hydrogen atoms and nonbonding electrons. Show the formal charges of all atom
Rzqust [24]

Answer : The Lewis-dot structure of RbIO_2  is shown below.

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, RbIO_2

As we know that rubidium has '1' valence electrons, iodine has '7' valence electrons and oxygen has '6' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in RbIO_2 = 1 + 7 + 2(6) = 20

As we know that RbIO_2  is an ionic compound because it is formed by the transfer of electron takes place from metal to non-metal element.

When iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3) is exposed to carbon monoxide (CO) under high pressure, metallic iron (Fe) and carbon dioxide (CO2)
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

The equation is Fe₂O₃ + CO ⇒ Fe + CO₂.

The balanced reaction equation is Fe₂O₃ + 3CO ⇒ 2Fe + 3CO₂.

Explanation:

First, we have to write our equation. It's actually pretty straightforward - first we look for our reactants (looks like it's Fe₂O₃ and CO), then we look for our products (Fe and CO₂). Then, we have to balance it so that both sides have the same number of both element.

Currently, we have the equation Fe₂O₃ + CO ⇒ Fe + CO₂. There are 2 Fe atoms, 4 O atoms, and 1 C atom on the left side. There is 1 Fe atom, 2 O atoms, and 1 C atom on the right side.

First thing we can do is give our Fe on the right side a coefficient of 2. This will make it equivalent to the 2 Fe atoms on the left side:

Fe₂O₃ + CO ⇒ 2Fe + CO₂

Next, we need to make sure that we have the same number of C and O atoms on each side. This takes a little bit of thinking, but what we have to do is give CO a coefficient of 3 and CO₂ a coefficient of 3. This gives us 6 O atoms on the left side (when we include the O₃) and 6 O atoms on the right side (since there are 3 O₂ atoms and 3 times 2 is 6). Here's what that looks like:

Fe₂O₃ + 3CO ⇒ 2Fe + 3CO₂

And that's how I balanced the equation. It can be confusing, but with enough practice, it will get easier and easier. :)

Chlorine gas is added to a large flask to a pressure of 1.85 atm, at a temperature of 322 K. Phosphorus is added, and a reaction
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

The volume of the flask is<u> 20.245 litres .</u>

Explanation:

We are given with following information-

PV=nRT -------- 1

where R =0.0821L.atom/mole.K

Molar mass of PCl_5=208.22g/mole

The given chemical equation is -

2P _(_s_)+5Cl_2 _(_g_)\rightarrow2PCl_5  _(_s_) --------- 2

Now , calculation -

Mass of PCl_5 formed = 118g

Molar mass of PCl_5 = 208.22g/mole

      Mole = \frac{mass (g)}{molar mass}

Therefore , moles of PCl_5 formed = \frac{118}{208.22}

     From equation 2 , we get to know that ,

 2mole PCl_5 formed from 5 mole Cl_2 _(_g_)

Therefore , \frac{118}{208.22} mole PCl_5 formed from \frac{5}{2} \times\frac{118}{208.22} mole Cl_2 _(_g_)

Moles of Cl_2 _(_g_) used =\frac{5\times118}{2\times208.22} mole

R= 0.0821L.atom/mole.K

Pressure (P)= 1.85atm

Temperature (T)= 322K

Moles of  Cl_2 _(_g_) (n)= \frac{5}{2} \times\frac{118}{208.22} moles

Applying  the formula above in 1 equation , that is

PV = nRT

putting the given values -

1.85 \times V=\frac{5}{2} \times\frac{118}{208.22}\times0.0821\times322

 V = 20.245 litres.

Hence , the volume of the flask is <u>20.245 litres . </u>

An alpha particle is equivalent to the nucleus of an atom of which element?(1 point)
poizon [28]

Answer:    An alpha-particle is identical to the nucleus of a normal (atomic mass four) helium atom i.e. a doubly ionised helium atom. Alpha particles (also termed alpha radiation or alpha rays) was the first nuclear radiation to be discovered, beta particles and gamma rays were identified soon after.
