The answer should be D.)The decay rate does not change
<span>A radioisotope is not stable and will undergo a nuclear decay that will continually decrease its mass. Unlike a chemical reaction, the </span>rate of nuclear decay is not influenced by the temperature of the surface area. So, increases in surface area and decreased temperature will not have any effect.

When a chemical reaction is run in aqueous solution inside a calorimeter, the temperature change of the water (and Ccal) can be
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

The total change in enthalpy for the reaction is - 81533.6 J/mol

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Reaction;

HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O

Where initial temperature is 21.2 °C and final temperature is 28.0 °C. Ccal is 1234.28 J

Moles of NaOH  = 50.mL × 1.00 M = 50.0 mmol = 0.0500 mol

Moles of HCl = 50.mL × 1.00 M = 50.0 mmol = 0.0500 mol

so, 0.0500 moles of H₂O produced

Volume of solution = 50.mL  +  50.mL  = 100.0 mL

Mass of solution m = volume × density = 100.0mL × 1.0 g/mL = 100 g

now ,

Heat energy of Solution q= (mass × specific heat capacity × temp Δ) + Cal

we know that; The specific heat of water(H₂O) is 4.18 J/g°C.

so we substitute

q_soln = (100g × 4.18 × ( 28.0 °C - 21.2 °C) ) + 1234.28

q_soln = 2842.4 + 1234.28

q_soln = 4076.68 J

Enthalpy change for the neutralization is ΔH_{neutralization}

ΔH_{neutralization} = -q_soln / mole of water produced

so we substitute

ΔH_{neutralization} = -( 4076.68 J ) / 0.0500 mol  

ΔH_{neutralization} = - 81533.6 J/mol

Therefore, the total change in enthalpy for the reaction is - 81533.6 J/mol

When collecting your solid, why should the filter paper in the Buchner funnel be wetted with some of the cold recrystallization
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:   It is important to wet the filter paper in the Buchner funnel first with cold re crystallization solvent before the re crystallization mixture being filtered to minimize gaps around the edges of the filter paper which can prevent mechanical impurities from passing through. This gives better filtration where most impurities can be filtered. Furthermore, it provides good vacuum.

calculate the volume occupied by 10g of propane gas, under normal conditions of temperature and pressure
andriy [413]

Answer:

5.5 L

Explanation:

First we <u>convert 10 g of propane gas</u> (C₃H₈) to moles, using its <em>molar mass</em>:

  • 10 g ÷ 44 g/mol = 0.23 mol

Then we <u>use the PV=nRT formula</u>, where:

  • P = 1 atm & T = 293 K (This are normal conditions of T and P)
  • n = 0.23 mol
  • R = 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹
  • V = ?

1 atm * V = 0.23 mol * 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 293 K

  • V = 5.5 L

Comparison between alkyl nucleophilic substitution with acyl nucleophilic substitution
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

in both nucleophil attach the c and leaving group leave but in acyl nu. subsituation c of carbonyl because of double bond with o have bigger positive charge and is better electrophil so do it faster,also alkyl nu. subsituation can have rearangment if going from sn1 and in sn2 sterichemistry of molecule change , acyl nu. subsituation most of time is better
