Which statement concerning spontaneous chemical reactions is true?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Marina CMI [18]4 years ago
7 0
I believe the correct answer is b since a spontaneous reaction is self sufficient and should not need an ongoing out side source in order to proceed once it is started.  

a is false since some reactions that occur are relatively slow such as iron reacting with oxygen to make rust.

c is false since most reactions involve an energy change of some sort which is why we classify them as endothermic or exothermic.

d is false since catalysts help speed up reactions but do not really affect a the Gibbs free energy value which determines the spontaneity of the reaction.

A watershed is the area of land where all of the water drains off and eventually combines at a central point. As water runs off
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

The answer is C (or 3 in this case)

Explanation:

I took the test and got it correct and the explanation is that the watershed will flow into more water which spreads that pollution and as it flows could pick up more pollution.

how many moles of water (H2O) would be produced from the reaction of 3.25 moles of hydrochloric acid (HCL) reacting with excess
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

3.25 moles of H2O

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

2HCl + Ca(OH)2 —> CaCl2 +2H2O

Now, we can obtain the number of mole H2O produced from the reaction as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

2 moles of HCl reacted to produce 2 moles of H2O.

Therefore, 3.25 moles of HCl will also react to produce 3.25 moles of H2O.

Therefore, 3.25 moles of H2O were produced from the reaction.

You have 500.0 ml of a buffer solution containing 0.30 m acetic acid (ch3cooh) and 0.20 m sodium acetate (ch3coona). what will t
Nataly [62]
First, we should get moles acetic acid = molarity * volume

                                                                =0.3 M * 0.5 L

                                                                =  0.15 mol

then, we should get moles acetate = molarity * volume

                                                           = 0.2 M * 0.5L

                                                           = 0.1 mol

then, we have to get moles of OH- which added:

moles OH- = molarity  * volume

                   = 1 M    * 0.02L

                  = 0.02 mol

when the reaction equation is:


                 CH3COOH  +  OH-  → CH3COO-   +  H2O


moles acetic acid after adding OH- = (0.15-0.02) 
                                             
                                                            =  0.13M                                       

moles acetate after adding OH- =  (0.1 + 0.02)

                                                      =   0.12 M

Total volume = 0.5 L + 0.02 L= 0.52 L

∴[acetic acid] = moles acetic acid after adding OH- / total volume

                        = 0.13mol / 0.52L

                       = 0.25 M

and [acetate ) = 0.12 mol / 0.52L
 
                        = 0.23 M

by using H-H equation we can get PH:

PH = Pka + ㏒[salt/acid]

when we have Ka = 1.8 x 10^-5

∴Pka = -㏒Ka 

        = -㏒ 1.8 x 10^-5

       = 4.7

So by substitution:

∴ PH = 4.7 + ㏒[acetate/acetic acid]

         = 4.7 + ㏒(0.23/0.25)

        = 4.66

Is condensation of ethanol a physical change or a chemical change
tigry1 [53]

Answer: Physical change

Explanation: Condensation is the phase change of a gas to the liquid state. There is no formation of new products so it does not undergoes chemical change. Any phase change is considered a physical change.

If the hydroxide ion concentration of a solution is 3.26 x 10-6 M, is it an acidic or a basic solution?
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer: It is a basic solution with pH =8.51

Explanation:

We were given that hydroxide ion concentration [OH-] as 3.26 x 10-6 M

But We know thar

[OH-] [H+] = 1 × 10^-14

To get the Hydrogen ion [H+] concentration, we have that

[H+] = 1 × 10^-14 M/[OH-]

= 1 × 10^-14 M/3.26 x 10-6 M

    =  3.067 x 10^-9 M

But, pH = - log [H+]

Therefore,

pH = - log (3.067 x 10^-9)

pH=8.51

when  pH > 7, The solution is basic, therefore a solution with pH =8.51 is basic.
