Answer:

The burning of gasoline in an automobile engine is an example of an <u><em>exothermic reaction</em></u>.

Explanation:

Energy is the ability to perform a job or to produce heat. Chemical reactions involve a rearrangement of atoms between substances with rupture or formation of chemical bonds and this generates changes in the energy of the system.

An exothermic reaction is that reaction where heat is released.

An endothermic reaction is that chemical reaction that, when it occurs, consumes energy.

Combustion means the process by which the burning of any substance, whether gaseous, liquid or solid, occurs.

When a car's gasoline burns, it reacts with oxygen from the air and releases energy to drive the vehicle. During combustion, the carbon and hydrogen atoms of gasoline react with the air atoms. Thus carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (C02) and water vapor (H20) are formed.

During the burning of gasoline in a car, energy is released to drive the vehicle. Then it is an exothermic process.

A chemical test has determined the concentration of a solution of an unknown substance to be 2.41 M. a 100.0 mL volume of the so
Oksana_A [137]

Answer : The molar mass of unknown substance is, 39.7 g/mol

Explanation : Given,

Mass of unknown substance = 9.56 g

Volume of solution = 100.0 mL

Molarity = 2.41 M

Molarity : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present in one liter of volume of solution.

Formula used :

\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Mass of unknown substance}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of unknown substance}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

2.41M=\frac{9.56g\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of unknown substance}\times 100.0mL}

\text{Molar mass of unknown substance}=39.7g/mol

Therefore, the molar mass of unknown substance is, 39.7 g/mol

What is the S.I unit of torque?
lora16 [44]
Torque has the dimension of force times distance, symbolically L2MT−2. Official SI literature suggests using the unit newton metre (N⋅m), or, joule per radian (J/rad). The unit newton metre is properly denoted N⋅m rather than m.

Calculate the hydroxyl ion concentration<br>in 0.02M solution of H2SO4<br>​
sergij07 [2.7K]
In a given solution, the concentration of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions are related to each other by the following expression:

pH + pOH = 14

where, pH = - log[H+] and pOH = - log [OH-]

In this case, the concentration of sulfuric acid is given as 2.1 x 10^-4 M. Since each molecule of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) contains 2 atoms of hydrogen, the concentration of hydrogen ions in this solution is twice that of sulfuric acid. That is,

Concentration of H+ ions = 2 x 2.1 x 10^-4

= 4.2 x 10^-4 M

This means, pH = -log (4.2 x 10^-4) = 3.38

Since pH + pOH = 14

pOH = 14 - 3.38 = 10.62

This means, 10.62 = -log [OH-]

Solving the equation, we get [OH-] = 2.4 x 10^-11 M.

Hope this helps.
