Explain how chemicals and chemical reactions are an important part of our lives.

8 0

Chemical reaction is the basis of life for living organisms; no organism can remain alive without the occurrence of chemical reactions.
Chemical reactions that occur in the living organisms are called biochemical reactions, these reactions are needed for the organism to grow, develop, survive and remain alive; when the chemical reactions stop the organism die.
For instance, to remain alive one has to eat. The food eaten can not be useful to the body if the digestive enzymes do not carry out chemical reactions on it and convert it to a form that can easily enter the blood where it is needed.

A 51.24-g sample of Ba(OH)2 is dissolved in enough water to make 1.20 liters of solution. How many mL of this solution must be d

g100num [7]

Answer:

0.40 L

Explanation:

Calculation of the moles of $Ba(OH)_2$ as:-

Mass = 51.24 g

Molar mass of $Ba(OH)_2$ = 171.34 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$Moles= \frac{51.24\ g}{171.34\ g/mol}$

$Moles= 0.2991\ mol$

Volume = 1.20 L

The expression for the molarity is:

$Molarity=\frac{Moles\ of\ solute}{Volume\ of\ the\ solution}$

$Molarity=\frac{0.2991\ mol}{1.20\ L}=0.24925\ M$

Thus,

Considering

$Molarity_{working\ solution}\times Volume_{working\ solution}=Molarity_{stock\ solution}\times Volume_{stock\ solution}$

Given that:

$Molarity_{working\ solution}=0.100\ M$

$Volume_{working\ solution}=1\ L$

$Volume_{stock\ solution}=?$

$Molarity_{stock\ solution}=0.24925\ M$

So,

$0.100\ M\times 1\ L=0.24925\ M\times Volume_{stock\ solution}$

$Volume_{stock\ solution}=\frac{0.100\times 1}{0.24925}\ L=0.40\ L$

The volume of 0.24925M stock solution added = 0.40 L

Solid carbon (C) can burn in oxygen (O2). Select

babunello [35]

Answer:

OCO

Another way of writing CO₂

Explanation:

A reaction equation has reactants on the left and products on the right.

The reactants are carbon and oxygen. The product is carbon dioxide.

C + O₂ → CO₂

You might see the equation both ways.

C + O₂ → OCO

C + O₂ in the products would mean no reaction has occurred. The problem can solid carbon can burn in oxygen, so a reaction will occur. For no reaction, you would put "NR" in the products.

OCO is the structural way of writing CO₂. Both have one carbon atom (C) and two oxygen atoms (O).

C + 2O is not possible. Oxygen, if alone, has to be at least O₂ because it's a diatomic molecule.

How to determine the type of hybridization in a coordination compound

Drupady [299]

Answer:

1. The metal atom/ion in these compounds are Ni and Ni2+ respectively.

2. The electrons from s oribital will jump to d orbital and so I expect CO to donate electron pairs in 4p and 4s orbitals and form sp3 hybridisation.

A student did an experiment to determine the specific heat capacity of a metal alloy. The student put a sample of the alloy in b

guapka [62]

Answer:

a) ∆T=T1-T2

b) At the particle level the temperature changes are the result of the added energy causing the particles of water to move more vigorously. Either the particles of solid vibrate more vigorously about their fixed positions or the particles of liquid and gas move about their container more rapidly.

c) The state in which two substances in physical contact do not share any heat energy. The temperature of two substances in thermal equilibrium is said to be the same. Also see thermodynamics.
