An ________ is the smallest unit of matter that cannot be broken down chemically into simpler substances.

How can we separate the components of a compound?

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

A mixture is a physical combination of substances thus it only requires physical processes to separate. However, a compound is chemically combined and can only be separated by chemical processes. Therefore, it is much harder to separate a compound than a mixture.

For a reaction at equilibrium, which change can increase the rates of the forward and reverse reactions?a decrease in the concen

Monica [59]

Question requires a change resulting in an increase in both forward and reverse reactions. Now lets discuss options one by one and see there impact on rate of reactions.

1) A decrease in the concentration of the reactants:
When concentration of reactant is decreased it will shift the equilibrium in Backward direction, so resulting in increasing the backward reaction and decreasing the forward direction. Hence, this option is incorrect.

2) A decrease in the surface area of the products:
Greater the surface Area greater is the chances of collision and greater will be the rate of reaction. As the surface area of products is decreased it will not favor the backward reaction. Hence again this statement is incorrect according to given statement.

3) An increase in the temperature of the system:
An increase in temperature will shift the reaction in endothermic side. Hence, if the reaction is endothermic, an increase in temperature will increase the rate of forward direction or if the reaction is exothermic it will increase the rate of reverse direction. Hence, this option is correct according to given statement.

4) An increase in the activation energy of the forward reaction:
An increase in Activation energy will decrease the rate of reaction, either it is forward or reverse. So this is incorrect.

Result:
Hence, the correct answer is,"An increase in the temperature of the system".

The most common cooling mechanism for cloud formation is ________.

KatRina [158]

The answer is "Rising and expanding air or atmosphere cooling".
To form a cloud the air must be cooled to the temperature of dew point. when there is expansion of air, it cools to the dew point and thus the formation of cloud happens. This process is very common and used for the formation of clouds.

An insulated container contains 0.3 kg of water at 20 degrees C. An alloy with a mass of 0.090 kg and an initial temperature of

Lorico [155]

Answer:

The specific heat of the alloy is 2.324 J/g°C

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of water = 0.3 kg = 300 grams

Temperature of water = 20°C

Mass of alloy = 0.090 kg

Initial temperature of alloy = 55 °C

The final temperature = 25°C

The specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

Step 2: Calculate the specific heat of alloy

Qlost = -Qwater

Qmetal = -Qwater

Q = m*c*ΔT

m(alloy) * c(alloy) * ΔT(alloy) = -m(water)*c(water)*ΔT(water)

⇒ mass of alloy = 90 grams

⇒ c(alloy) = the specific heat of alloy = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ ΔT(alloy) = The change of temperature = T2 - T1 = 25-55 = -30°C

⇒ mass of water = 300 grams

⇒ c(water) = the specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

⇒ ΔT(water) = The change of temperature = T2 - T1 = 25 - 20 = 5 °C

90 * c(alloy) * -30°C = -300 * 4.184 J/g°C * 5°C

c(alloy) = 2.324 J/g°C

The specific heat of the alloy is 2.324 J/g°C
