Paper is stable at room temperature in the presence of oxygen (O2) because it requires ____________ to start the reaction.

Chemistry

Answer:

Energy

Explanation:

Paper is oxidized in the presence of oxygen. This reaction however proceeds very slowly until energy is supplied to the system. This implies that the reaction is not spontaneous at room temperature. A spontaneous reaction takes place without any need for external supply of energy.

The need for supply of external energy must be as a result of the high activation energy required for the reaction to go to completion. If a chemical reaction has a high activation energy, it will require an external supply of energy in order for such reaction to occur.

Compare and contrast global winds and local winds
pogonyaev
Local winds blow over certain parts of the Earth, but global winds blow around the globe as the name 'global' suggests.

Local winds like the Sirocco, Harmattan, leveche, Nor'westers, Mistral, Chinook, Foehn can be found only in certain regions. For example, Sirocco, Harmattan, are seasonal winds blowing across Northern Africa and the Leveche blows over Southern Spain. The Chinook are warm winds flowing down the leeward side of the Rocky Mountains. The Mistral is a chilly wind which blow in the Mediterranean regions during winter.

The Trade winds, Mid Latitude Westerlies and Polar Easterlies are examples of global winds.

The Trade Winds are found between the 30 degrees S and N latitudes. There are the North-East Trades and the South-East Trades, both converging at the the Equator.

The Westerlies are a deep wind system found in the Temperate latitudes blowing from the West towards the East.

The Polar Easterlies blow from the Polar regions towards the Mid-latitudes.

In 2.00 min, 29.7 mL of He effuse through a small hole. Under the same conditions of pressure and temperature, 9.28 mL of a mixt
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer : The percent composition by volume of mixture of CO and CO_2 are, 18.94 % and 81.06 % respectively.

Solution :

According to the Graham's law, the rate of effusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of gas.

R\propto \sqrt{\frac{1}{M}}

And the relation between the rate of effusion and volume is :

R=\frac{V}{t}

or, from the above we conclude that,

(\frac{V_1}{V_2})^2=\frac{M_2}{M_1}            ..........(1)

where,

V_1 = volume of helium gas = 29.7 ml

V_2 = volume of mixture = 9.28 ml

M_1 = molar mass of helium gas  = 4 g/mole

M_2 = molar mass of mixture = ?

Now put all the given values in the above formula 1, we get the molar mass of mixture.

(\frac{29.8ml}{9.28ml})^2=\frac{M_2}{4g/mole}

M_2=40.97g/mole

The average molar mass of mixture = 40.97 g/mole

Now we have to calculate the percent composition by volume of the mixture.

Let the mole fraction of CO be, 'x' and the mole fraction of CO_2 will be, (1 - x).

As we know that,

\text{Average molar mass of mixture}=\text{Mole fraction of }CO

\text{Average molar mass of mixture}=(\text{Mole fraction of }CO\times \text{Molar mass of } CO)+(\text{Mole fraction of }CO_2\times \text{Molar mass of } CO_2)

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

40.94g/mole=((x)\times 28g/mole)+((1-x)\times 44g/mole)

x=0.1894

The mole fraction of CO = x = 0.1894

The mole fraction of CO_2 = 1 - x = 1 - 0.1894 = 0.8106

The percent composition by volume of mixture of CO = 0.1894\times 100=18.94\%

The percent composition by volume of mixture of CO_2 = 0.8106\times 100=81.06\%

Therefore, the percent composition by volume of mixture of CO and CO_2 are, 18.94 % and 81.06 % respectively.

Explain how carbon’s bonding ability makes it unique.
STatiana [176]

\huge\fcolorbox{red}{pink}{Answer ♥}

The carbon atom is unique among elements in its tendency to form extensive networks of covalent bonds not only with other elements but also with itself. ... Moreover, of all the elements in the second row, carbon has the maximum number of outer shell electrons (four) capable of forming covalent bonds.

Hope it helps uh ✌️✌️✌️
