Answer:The rate determining step is the slowest step of a chemical reaction that determines the speed (rate) at which the overall reaction proceeds. The rate determining step can be compared to the neck of a funnel.

A 12 gram piece of Cu at 475 oC is placed in contact with a 15 gram piece of Cr at 265 oC.
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

349.22°C

Explanation:

Let the final temperature of the two pieces of metal be x.

Now, the warmer metal which is C u reduces from 475°C to x. Thus Δt for C u is; Δt1 = 475 - x.

The cooler metal Cr increases in temperature from 265°C to x. Thus, it's change in temperature is Δt for Cr is; Δt2 = x - 265.

Now from conservation of energy, the amount of energy leaving the C u metal is equal to the amount of energy entering the Cr metal.

Thus;

q_lost = q_gain

Where;

q_lost = m1•c1•Δt1

q_gained = m2•c2•Δt2

Now, c1 & c2 are the specific heat capacity of C u and Cr respectively.

From online tables, c1 = 0.385 J/g°C and c2 = 0.46 J/g°C

We are given;

m1 = 12g and m2 = 15g

Thus;

12 × 0.385 × (475 - x) = 15 × 0.46 × (x - 265)

2194.5 - 4.62x = 6.9x - 1828.5

6.9x + 4.62x = 2194.5 + 1828.5

11.52x = 4023

x = 4023/11.52

x = 349.22°C

Give the chemical formula and systematic name for aurous sulfide, which is named using the older nomenclature. spelling counts!
Bingel [31]
Aurous is a cation of gold. Gold takes the name "aurum" (Au) with atomic number of 79. In its purest form, the element is bright, slightly yellow, soft, ductile, and malleable. The charge of aurous is +1. Sulfide, on the other hand, has a charge of -2. 

Hence, the chemical formula of the compound is Au₂S and its systematic name is gold (I) sulfide.

What is the percent yield of ferrous sulfide if the actual yield is 220.0 g and the theoretical yield is 275.6 g
Anika [276]
To get the percent yield, we will use this formula: ((Actual Yield)/(Theoretical Yield)) * 100% Values given: actual yield is 220.0 g theoretical yield is 275.6 g Now, let us substitute the values given. (220.0 grams)/(275.6 grams) = 0.7983 Then, to get the percentage, multiply the quotient by 100. 0.7983 (100) = 79.83% Among the choices, the most plausible answer is 79.8% <span>
