Answer;

= 1.5 hours or 1 hour 30 minutes

Solution;

Speed is given by; distance divided by time,

Thus; speed = Distance/time

Which means time is given by; distance divided by time

That is; Time = Distance/speed

In our case; speed = 10 mph , distance= 15 miles

Time = 15/10

= 1.5 hours

Therefore, the cyclist rode at an average speed of 10 mph for 15 miles and took 1.5 hours.

Answer:

1. The concentration of N₂O₄ decrease as the temperature of the system increased.

2. The formation of products was favored by the addition of heat.

3. The reaction going from right to left is exothermic.

4. N₂O₄ → 2NO₂; HR = +14 kcal.

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction is as follows: N₂O₄ ⇄ 2NO₂

The forward reaction proceeds with an increase in temperature. As the temperature of the reaction was increased, more of the N₂O₄ decomposed to form NO₂. Therefore, the concentration of N₂O₄ deceased.

2. The formation of products, that is the forward reaction leading to formation of NO₂ was favored by the addition of heat. Thus, with increase in temperature, the concentration of NO₂ increased.

3. An endothermic reaction is a type of reaction which requires energy input in the form of heat in order to proceed.

From the observations during the reaction, an increase in temperature by the addition of heat resulted in an increase in the forward reaction, therefore, the forward reaction is endothermic and the backward reaction is exothermic. Thus, the reaction in which colorless N₂O₄ is produced, is an exothermic reaction.

4. The change in enthalpy of a reaction is the difference in the heat content of reactants and products. For exothermic reactions, enthalpy change is negative, whereas for endothermic reactions, enthalpy change is positive.

The decomposition of N₂O₄ to NO₂ is an endothermic reaction. Hence, the correct chemical equation is: N₂O₄ → 2NO₂; HR = +14 kcal.

Water circulates through Earth's water cycle by changing its _____.

iragen [17]

Water moved through the water cycle by changing its state. Think, for example, of water evaporating (liquid to gas), snow sublimating (solid to gas) or melting (solid to liquid), rain (gas to liquid), sleet (liquid to solid), or snow (gas to solid).

The answer would thus be A.

Answer:

See detailed answer with explanation below.

Explanation:

Valence electrons are electrons found on the outermost shell of an atom. They are the electrons in an atom that participate in chemical combination. Recall that the outermost shell of an atom is also referred to as its valence shell. Let us consider an example; if we look at the atom, sodium-11, its electronic configuration is 2,8,1. The last one electron is the valence electron of sodium which is found in its outermost or valence shell.

Positive ions are formed when electrons are lost from the valence shell of an atom. For instance, if the outermost electron in sodium is lost, we now form the sodium ion Na^+ which is a positive ion. Positive ions possess less number of electrons compared to their corresponding atoms.

Negative ions are formed when one or more electrons is added to the valence shell of an atom. A negative ion possesses more electrons than its corresponding atom. For example, chlorine(Cl) contains 17 electrons but the chloride ion (Cl^-) contains 18 electrons.

In molecular compounds, a bond is formed when two electrons are shared between the bonding atoms. Each bonding atom may contribute one of the shared electrons (ordinary covalent bond) or one of the bonding atoms may provide the both shared electrons (coordinate covalent bond). The shared pair may be located at an equidistant position to the nucleus of both atoms. Similarly, the electron may be drawn closer to the nucleus of one atom than the other (polar covalent bond) depending on the electro negativity of the two bonding atoms.

The electrons are shared in order to complete the octet of each atom by so doing, the both bonding atoms now obey the octet rule. For example, two chlorine atoms may come together to form a covalent bond in which each chlorine atom has an octet of electrons on its outermost shell.

The combustion of 1.5011.501 g of fructose, C6H12O6(s)C6H12O6(s) , in a bomb calorimeter with a heat capacity of 5.205.20 kJ/°C

avanturin [10]

Answer : The internal energy change is -2805.8 kJ/mol

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the heat gained by the calorimeter.

$q=c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})$

where,

q = heat gained = ?

c = specific heat = $5.20kJ/^oC$

$T_{final}$ = final temperature = $27.43^oC$

$T_{initial}$ = initial temperature = $22.93^oC$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$q=5.20kJ/^oC\times (27.43-22.93)^oC$

$q=23.4kJ$

Now we have to calculate the enthalpy change during the reaction.

$\Delta H=-\frac{q}{n}$

where,

$\Delta H$ = enthalpy change = ?

q = heat gained = 23.4 kJ

n = number of moles fructose = $\frac{\text{Mass of fructose}}{\text{Molar mass of fructose}}=\frac{1.501g}{180g/mol}=0.00834mole$

$\Delta H=-\frac{23.4kJ}{0.00834mole}=-2805.8kJ/mole$

Therefore, the enthalpy change during the reaction is -2805.8 kJ/mole

Now we have to calculate the internal energy change for the combustion of 1.501 g of fructose.

Formula used :

$\Delta H=\Delta U+\Delta n_gRT$

or,

$\Delta U=\Delta H-\Delta n_gRT$

where,

$\Delta H$ = change in enthalpy = $-2805.8kJ/mol$

$\Delta U$ = change in internal energy = ?

$\Delta n_g$ = change in moles = 0 (from the reaction)

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mol.K

T = temperature = $27.43^oC=273+27.43=300.43K$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$\Delta U=\Delta H-\Delta n_gRT$

$\Delta U=(-2805.8kJ/mol)-[0mol\times 8.314J/mol.K\times 300.43K$

$\Delta U=-2805.8kJ/mol-0$

$\Delta U=-2805.8kJ/mol$

Therefore, the internal energy change is -2805.8 kJ/mol
