Answer:

CHO

Explanation:

Carbon = 41%,  Hydrogen = 4.58%, oxygen = 54.6%

Step 1:

Divide through by their respective relative atomic masses

41/ 12,         4.58/1,         54.6/16

3.41              4.58            3.41

Step 2:

Divide by the lowest ratio:

3.41/3.41,      4.58/3.41,     3.41/3.41

1,                    1,                  1

Hence the empirical formula is CHO

KengaRu [80]

Answer : It is a conclusion.

Explanation:

Conclusion: It is a judgement or decision which can be attained by reasoning.

From the observation table given we can conclude that :

  • Aluminum ,bronze and steel took 27,45 and 80 seconds to melt small piece of wax respectively which means that more time will be required by them to transfer heat to the food while cooking. Hence,  food will take more time to cook in them.
  • Copper took less time of 15 seconds to melt the small piece of wax in comparison to other metal pots which means that it is a good conductor of heat in comparison to other. Hence, copper pot would be better for cooking food quickly.

After analyzing the observations and results in an experiment conclusion was made that copper pots are best for cooking foods.

Consider the following equilibrium: 2SO^2(g) + O2(9) = 2 SO3^(g)
saul85 [17]

Answer:

At equilibrium, the forward and backward reaction rates are equal.

The forward reaction rate would decrease if \rm O_2 is removed from the mixture. The reason is that collisions between \rm SO_2 molecules and \rm O_2\! molecules would become less frequent.

The reaction would not be at equilibrium for a while after \rm O_2 was taken out of the mixture.

Explanation:

<h3>Equilibrium</h3>

Neither the forward reaction nor the backward reaction would stop when this reversible reaction is at an equilibrium. Rather, the rate of these two reactions would become equal.

Whenever the forward reaction adds one mole of \rm SO_3\, (g) to the system, the backward reaction would have broken down the same amount of \rm SO_3\, (g)\!. So is the case for \rm SO_2\, (g) and \rm O_2\, (g).

Therefore, the concentration of each species would stay the same. There would be no macroscopic change to the mixture when it is at an an equilibrium.

<h3>Collision Theory</h3>

In the collision theory, an elementary reaction between two reactants particles takes place whenever two reactant particles collide with the correct orientation and a sufficient amount of energy.

Assume that \rm SO_2\, (g) and \rm O_2\, (g) molecules are the two particles that collide in the forward reaction. Because the collision has to be sufficiently energetic to yield \rm SO_3\, (g), only a fraction of the reactions will be fruitful.

Assume that \rm O_2\, (g) molecules were taken out while keeping the temperature of the mixture stays unchanged. The likelihood that a collision would be fruitful should stay mostly the same.

Because fewer \!\rm O_2\, (g) molecules would be present in the mixture, there would be fewer collisions (fruitful or not) between \rm SO_2\, (g) and \rm O_2\, (g)\! molecules in unit time. Even if the percentage of fruitful collisions stays the same, there would fewer fruitful collisions in unit time. It would thus appear that the forward reaction has become slower.

<h3>Equilibrium after Change</h3>

The backward reaction rate is likely going to stay the same right after \rm O_2\, (g) was taken out of the mixture without changing the temperature or pressure.

The forward and backward reaction rates used to be the same. However, right after the change, the forward reaction would become slower while the backward reaction would proceed at the same rate. Thus, the forward reaction would become slower than the backward reaction in response to the change.

Therefore, this reaction would not be at equilibrium immediately after the change.

As more and more \rm SO_3\, (g) gets converted to \rm SO_2\, (g) and \rm O_2\, (g), the backward reaction would slow down while the forward reaction would pick up speed. The mixture would once again achieve equilibrium when the two reaction rates become equal again.

A reaction that occurs in the internal combustion engine is N₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇄ 2NO(g) (c) What is the significance of the different
vodomira [7]

The response would become spontaneous if the value of  ΔG° was negative.

According to the estimated value of  ΔG°, it is shown that  ΔG° value decreases as temperature value increases. The value shifts from being more favorable to being less favorable. It would appear that the value of  ΔG° would be negative at a specific temperature, causing the reaction to occur spontaneously.

The reaction is in an equilibrium state if  ΔG = 0. If ΔG < 0, the reaction is spontaneous in the direction written. The relationship between terms from the equilibrium is paralleled by the relevance of the sign of a change in the Gibbs free energy.
