The catalytic converter, a required component for automobile exhaust emission control systems, converts carbon monoxide into A.

Pure carbon and oxygen B. Carbon dioxide C. Carbonic acid D. Carbon monoxide (the catalytic converter is designed to remove gases other than carbon monoxide)

Answer:

B. Carbon dioxide

Explanation:

A catalytic converter is designed and placed in the exhaust of most automobiles to remove harmful gases from escaping into the environment.

The converter uses palladium and platinum which are both catalyst to reduce harmful gases such as nitrogen oxide which causes acid rain, carbon monoxide which affects human haemoglobin and other hydrocarbons into less harmful ones.  

The catalytic converter helps to convert carbon monoxide, a product of incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons into less harmful carbondioxde. Carbon monoxide is a very toxic gas. It causes harm to both plants and animals as well.

Indicate which reaction will occur faster. explain your reasoning. select the single best answer. solvolysis of 1−chloro−2,2−dim
Radda [10]
The tert-butyl chloride in ethanol would surely react faster than the solvolysis of 1-chloro-2,2-dimethyl propane. It is known that both reactions are under the SN2 category so it would be hard for these reactions to occur. However, SN1 reactions are possible because of the ethanol which is a polar solvent. Both would form carbocations but tert-butyl chloride forms a more stable carbocation while the 1-chloro-2,2-dimethyl propane forms a primary carbocation only.

Using VSEPR theory which of the following would be the correct shape for nitrogen trifluoride?
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

trigonal pyramidal

Explanation:

In NF3, the nitrogen atom is sp3 hybridized. Now we must remember that according to the VSEPR theory, the number of electron pairs in the valence shell of the central atom in a molecule determines its shape.

Here, the nitrogen atom is the central atom and its outermost shell is surrounded by four electron pairs - one lone pair and three bond pairs. This means that it has a tetrahedral electron pair geometry.

However, due to the lone pair, the three fluorine atoms are arranged in a  trigonal pyramidal geometry. Hence the correct shape of the molecule is trigonal pyramidal.

What is an energy transformation?
Dafna11 [192]
Energy is invisible yet it's all around us and throughout the universe. Energy can never be made or destroyed, but its form can be converted and changed.
While energy can be transferred or transformed, the total amount of energy does not change – this is called energy conservation.
Energy transformation, also known as energy conversion, is the process of changing energy from one form to another. In physics, energy is a quantity that provides the capacity to perform work or provides heat.
When energy is transformed from one form to another, or moved from one place to another, or from one system to another there is energy loss. This means that when energy is converted to a different form, some of the input energy is turned into a highly disordered form of energy, like heat. This consent is known as “hidden energy”.

3. At the end of a warm summer day, imagine you are jumping from the 80°F air into an
djyliett [7]

Answer:

  • <u>1. Since the temperature of your body is higher than the temperature of the air and of the water, heat will flow from your body to the air and pool.</u>

<u></u>

  • <u>2. The pool feels cooler than air because the water can absorb heat energy faster than the air, due to liquids are better conductors than gases.</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

Heat always flows from warmer substances to colder ones.

The normal body temperature is 98ºF. Therefore, the heat will flow from your body to the air and pool, which are at a lower temperature of 80ºF. In both cases, you will lose thermal energy and the external parts of your body will cool down.

The difference between both cases is in the heat conduction capacity of both air and water.

Liquids (and solids) are better <em>thermal conductors </em>than gases because the conduction of heat occurs as result of the direct contact between the particles of matter: the atoms or molecules in hot matter vibrate faster than their neighbors and transmit them kinetic energy by direct contact.

Therefore, the liquid water in the swimming pool, at the same temperature than the air, will be able to absorb more heat in the same time from the body.

In conclusion, the body will cool down faster in water than in air which is why the pool feels cooler than air.

A 0.24g sample of compound of oxygen and boron was found by analysis to contain 0.144g of Oxygen.calculate the percentage compos
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

Mass of compound = 0.24 g and, mass of boron = 0.096 g percentage of boron in the compound = mass of boron / mass of compound * 100 = 0.096/0.24 * 100 = 40% mass of oxygen = 0.144 g again, mass of compound = 0.24 g percentage of oxygen in compound = mass of oxygen/mass of of compound * 100 = 0.144/0.24 * 100 = 60%
