Answer:

4477381.7 calories/pound

Explanation:

It is given that,

When a candle burns it produced 41,300 Joules per 1 gram.

We need to convert it into calories per pound.

We know that,

1 cal = 4.184 J

⇒ 1 J = (1/4.184) cal

1 pound = 453.592 grams

⇒1 g = (1/453.592) pounds

Now,

41300\ \text{Joules per gram}=\dfrac{41300\ \text{Joules}}{\text{gram}}\\\\=41300\times \dfrac{\dfrac{1}{4.184}\ \text{calories}}{\dfrac{1}{453.592}\ \text{gram}}\\\\=4477381.7\ \text{calories/pound}

Hence, 41,300 Joules/gram = 4477381.7 calories/pound.

Describe how visible spectroscopy could be used to determine the order of a reaction in which a single colorless reactant produc
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

Explanation:

In a reaction, where, one of the reactant produces a colored product, visible spectroscopy can be used to determined the order of a reaction, the change in concentration of the reactant which forms the colored product is determined by absorbance measurement over time. The data for the concentration and time are plotted on the y and x axis and If we get a straight line it is a zero-order reaction. If instead, a plot of ln[concentration] versus time gives a straight line, it is a first order reaction. However, If 1/concentration versus time gives a straight line, it is a second order reaction kinetics. The other reactants may be changed while keeping this reactant as constant and change on rate of the reaction is observed to see If the other reactant affects the reaction or not.

The equilibrium constant for the dissolution of silver chloride (AgCl(s) Ag+(aq) + Cl–(aq)) has a value of 1.79 × 10–10. Which s
ryzh [129]

"Silver chloride is essentially insoluble in water" this statement is true for the equilibrium constant for the dissolution of silver chloride.

Option: b

<u>Explanation</u>:

As silver chloride is essentially insoluble in water but also show sparing solubility, its reason is explained through Fajan's rule. Therefore when AgCl added in water, equilibrium take place between undissolved and dissolved ions. While solubility product constant \left(\boldsymbol{K}_{s p}\right) for silver chloride is determined by equilibrium concentrations of dissolved ions. But solubility may vary also at different temperatures.  Complete solubility is possible in ammonia solution as it form stable complex as water is not good ligand for Ag+.  

To calculate \left(\boldsymbol{K}_{s p}\right) firstly molarity of ions are needed to be found with formula: \text { Molarity of ions }=\frac{\text { number of moles of solute }}{\text { Volume of solution in litres }}

Then at equilibrium cations and anions concentration is considered same hence:

\left[\mathbf{A} \mathbf{g}^{+}\right]=[\mathbf{C} \mathbf{I}]=\text { molarity of ions }

Hence from above data \left(\boldsymbol{K}_{s p}\right) can be calculated by: \left(\boldsymbol{K}_{s p}\right) = \left[\mathbf{A} \mathbf{g}^{+}\right] \cdot[\mathbf{C} \mathbf{I}]
