Answer:

a. Methanol remains the same

b. Methanol decreases

c. Methanol increases

d. Methanol remains the same

e. Methanol increases

Explanation:

Methanol is produced by the reaction of carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst as follows; 2H2+CO→CH3OH.

a) The presence or absence of a catalyst makes no difference on the equilibrium position of the system hence the methanol remains constant.

b) The amount of methanol decreases because the equilibrium position shifts towards the left and more reactants are formed since the reaction is exothermic.

c) If the volume is decreased, there will be more methanol in the system because the equilibrium position will shift towards the right hand side.

d) Addition of helium gas has no effect on the equilibrium position since it does not participate in the reaction system.

e) if more CO is added the amount of methanol increases since the equilibrium position will shift towards the right hand side.

A student explained to the class that helium has 8 valence electrons because it is in group 18. Is the student correct?
lys-0071 [83]
<span>The student is incorrect because helium has 2 valence electrons and it's in group 18 because the first energy level is full. Although helium is placed in Group 18 which generally has 8 valence electrons, it does not have 8 valence electrons as the student suggested. It was grouped together with the noble gases because it exhibits similar properties with them. </span>

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Enzyme  

Explanation:

An enzyme is an organic catalyst that speeds up a reaction but can be recovered unchanged.

Human lactase consists of 4092 amino acid groups and has a molar mass of about 280 000 u, so it has a complex structure.

Bi2(CO3)3<br> Name of this compound
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

The name of this compound is :

Bi2(CO3)3 = Bismuth Carbonate

Explanation:

The name of the compound is derived from the name of the elements present  in it.

The rule followed while naming the compound are:

1. The first element (always the cation) is named as such .

2. The second element (The anion) end with "-ate ,  -ide ," etc

3. NO prefix is added while naming the first element.

For example : Bi2 can't be named as Dibismuth

Na2 = Can't be named as disodium

Hence the compound :

Bi2(CO3)3 contain two element : Bi and CO3. Here , Bi = cation (named as such) and CO3 = anion (named according to rules)

Bi = Bismuth

CO3 = carbonate

Bi2(CO3)3 = Bismuth Carbonate

The molecular mass of this compound is :

Molecular mass = 2 (mass of Bi) + 3(mass of C) + 6(mass of O)

= 2 (208.98)+3(12.01)+6(15.99)

= 597.987 u

Cu(s) + 4 HNO3 (aq) --&gt; Cu(NO3)2 (aq) + 2NO2 (g) + 2H2O(l)
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

The percent by mass of copper in the mixture was 32%

Explanation:

The ammount of HNO₃ used is:

mol HNO₃ = volume * concentration

mol HNO₃ = 0.015 l * 15.8 mol/l

mol HNO₃ = 0.237 mol

According to the reaction, 4 mol HNO₃ will react with 1 mol Cu and produce 1 mol Cu²⁺. Since we have 0.237 mol HNO₃, the amount of Cu that could react would be (0.237 mol HNO₃ * 1 mol Cu / 4 mol HNO₃) 0.06 mol. This reaction would produce 0.060 mol Cu²⁺, however, only 0.010 mol Cu²⁺ were obtained, indicating that only 0.010 mol Cu were present in the mixture. This means that the acid was in excess, so we can assume that all copper present in the mixture has reacted.

Since 0.010 mol of Cu²⁺ were produced, the amount of Cu was 0.01 mol.

1 mol of Cu has a mass of 63.5 g, then 0.01 mol has a mass of:

0.01 mol Cu * 63.5 g / 1 mol = 0.635 g.

Since this amount was present in 2.00 g mixture, the amount of copper in 100 g of the mixture will be:

100 g(mixture) * 0.635 g Cu / 2 g(mixture) = 32 g

Then, the percent by mass of Cu (which is the mass of Cu in 100 g mixture) is 32%
