Answer:

(A) first order reaction

Explanation:

A first order reaction is a type of reaction in which the rate of the reaction depends only on the concentration on one of the reactants. Since A is the only reactant we have, it is right to deduce that this reaction is a first order reaction.

Note: while the order of this reaction is 1, its molecularity is 2. The molecularity of a reaction is the number of moles of reactants that is actually reacting.

(B) is wrong

This is because a zero order reaction is one in which the rate of reaction is not influenced by the concentrations of the reactants and hence remains constant irrespective. Since we were not furnished with this idea in the question, it is only right that we reject this answer.

C is outrightly wrong as we have only one reactant.

(D) is wrong

We have only one reactant.

A 23.5g aluminum block is warmed to 65.9°C and plunged into an insulated beaker containing 55.0g water initially at 22.3°C. The

atroni [7]

Answer:

25.97oC

Explanation:

Heat lost by aluminum = heat gained by water

M(Al) x C(Al) x [ Temp(Al) – Temp(Al+H2O) ] = M(H2O) x C(H2O) x [ Temp(Al+H2O) – Temp(H2O) ]

Where M(Al) = 23.5g, C(Al) = specific heat capacity of aluminum = 0.900J/goC, Temp(Al) = 65.9oC, Temp(Al+H2O)= temperature of water and aluminum at equilibrium = ?, M(H2O) = 55.0g, C(H2O)= specific heat capacity of liquid water = 4.186J/goC

Let Temp(Al+H2O) = X

23.5 x 0.900 x (65.9-X) = 55.0 x 4.186 x (X-22.3)

21.15(65.9-X) = 230.23(X-22.3)

1393.785 - 21.15X = 230.23X – 5134.129

230.23X + 21.15X = 1393.785 + 5134.129

251.38X = 6527.909

X = 6527.909/251.38

X = 25.97oC

So, the final temperature of the water and aluminum is = 25.97oC

Why is zinc not extracted from ZnO through reduction using CO?

Jet001 [13]

The standard Gibbs free energy of formation of ZnO from Zn is lower than that of CO2 from CO. Therefore, CO cannot reduce ZnO to Zn. Hence, Zn is not extracted from ZnO through reduction using CO

Metallic pan is provided with a wooden plastic handle give reason

AlladinOne [14]

The metallic pan iis most likely going to be used on a stove.

The stove is heating something, and the conductive metallic pan will, well, conduct that heat throughout the entire body of the pan. Doing this will spread the heat to the handle, burning your hands.

Both wood and plastic are insulators, and they do not conduct heat or electricity. They will insulate your hands and protect them from the heat.
