Answer:

The correct answer is D. Phosphorus is not a catalyst.

Explanation:

A catalyst is a substance that accelerates a chemical reaction at a certain temperature, but does not itself wear off the reaction. It is involved in the chemical reaction but is not the starting or end product of the reaction.

Catalysts create an alternative reaction pathway for the reaction with a lower activation energy. Activation energy is the energy required for the reaction to take place. However, the catalyst cannot cause a reaction which does not take place without the catalyst.

Depending on the phases in which the catalyst and reactants are present, one speaks of homogeneous or heterogeneous catalysts. Biochemical processes are catalyzed by enzymes, while heterogeneous catalysts are metals, such as platinum and nickel.

The answer would be D because from my research it's the only one that didn't have a catalyst

100.0 mL of Ca(OH)2 solution is titrated with 5.00 x 10–2 M HBr. It requires 36.5 mL of the acid solution for neutralization. Wh

miskamm [114]

Answer:

The number of moles HBr = 0.001825

The concentration of Ca(OH)2 = 0.009125 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of the Ca(OH)2 = 100.0 mL = 0.100 L

Molarity of HBr = 5.00 * 10^-2 M

Volume of HBR = 36.5 mL = 0.0365 L

Step 2: The balanced equation

Ca(OH)2 + 2HBr → CaBr2 + 2H2O

Step 3: Calculate molarity of Ca(OH) 2

b*Va* Ca = a * Vb*Cb

⇒with b = the coefficient of HBr = 2

⇒with Va = the volume of Ca(OH)2 = 0.100 L

⇒with ca = the concentration of Ca(OH)2 = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with a = the coefficient of Ca(OH)2 = 1

⇒with Vb = the volume of HBr = 0.0365 L

⇒with Cb = the concentration of HBr = 5.00 * 10^-2 = 0.05 M

2 * 0.100 * Ca = 1 * 0.0365 * 0.05

Ca = (0.0365*0.05) / 0.200

Ca = 0.009125 M

Step 4: Calculate moles HBr

Moles HBr = concentration HBr * volume HBr

Moles HBr = 0.05 M * 0.0365 L

Moles HBr = 0.001825 moles

Ammonia, NH3NH3 , can react with oxygen to form nitrogen gas and water. 4NH3(aq)+3O2(g)⟶2N2(g)+6H2O(l) 4NH3(aq)+3O2(g)⟶2N2(g)+6H

solmaris [256]

Answer:

36.37% is the percent yield of the reaction.

Explanation:

$4NH_3(aq)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2N_2(g)+6H_2O(l)$

1)0.650 L nitrogen gas , at 295 K and 1.01 bar.

Let the moles of nitrogen gas be n.

Pressure of the gas ,P= 1.01 bar = 0.9967 atm (1 bar = 0.9869 atm)

Temperature of the gas = T = 295 K

Volume of the gas = V = 0.650 L

Using an ideal gas equation:

$PV=nRT$

$n=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{0.9967 atm\times 0.650 L}{0.0821 atm L/mol K\times 295 K}=0.0267 mol$

2) Moles of ammonia gas= $\frac{2.53 g}{17 g/mol}=0.1488 mol$

Moles of oxygen gas = $\frac{3.53 g}{32 g/mol}=0.1101 mol$

According to reaction ,3 mol of oxygen reacts with 4 mol of ammonia.

Then,0.1101 mol of oxygen will react with:

$\frac{4}{3}\times 0.1101 mol=0.1468 mol$ of ammonia.

Hence, oxygen gas is in limiting amount and act as limiting reagent.

3) Theoretical yield of nitrogen gas :

According to reaction, 3 mol of oxygen gas gives 2 moles of nitrogen gas.

Then 0.1101 mol of oxygen will give:

$\frac{2}{3}\times 0.1101 mol=0.0734 mol$ of nitrogen.

Theoretical yield of nitrogen gas = 0.0734 mol

Experimental yield of nitrogen as calculated in part (1) = 0.0267 mol

Percentage yield:

$\frac{\text{Experiential yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

Percentage yield of the reaction:

$\frac{ 0.0267 mol}{0.0734 mol}\times 100=36.37\%$

36.37% is the percent yield of the reaction.

How does mass affect potential energy?

Andreyy89

What i would say: The amount of gravitational potential energy an object has depends on its height and mass. The heavier the object and the higher it is above the ground, the more gravitational potential energy it holds. Gravitational potential energy increases as weight and height increases.

Hope this helps! :)

Why is the stability of a compound considered a chemical property?

Tcecarenko [31]

Chemical property is the ability of a substance to react with other substances or to transform into other substances. The stability of a compound indicates how much it "prefers" to remain as such or to get transformed. Then the stability is a chemical property.
