The answer is state.

That is the state would be least helpful in determining whether a substance is a metal or a nonmetal. The state can only tells that a compound is liquid, gas or solid. But it can't tell whether a substance is metal or non-metal. So it is the least helpful in determining whether a compound is metal or non-metal.

In a lab experiment 80.0 g of ammonia [NH3] and 120 g of oxygen are placed in a reaction vessel. At the end of the reaction 72.2
valentinak56 [21]

The percent yield of the reaction : 89.14%

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Reaction of Ammonia and Oxygen in a lab :

<em>4 NH₃ (g) + 5 O₂ (g) ⇒ 4 NO(g)+ 6 H₂O(g)</em>

mass NH₃ = 80 g

mol NH₃ (MW=17 g/mol):

\dfrac{80}{17}=4.706

mass O₂ = 120 g

mol O₂(MW=32 g/mol) :

\tt \dfrac{120}{32}=3.75

Mol ratio of reactants(to find limiting reatants) :

\tt \dfrac{4.706}{4}\div \dfrac{3.75}{5}=1.1765\div 0.75\rightarrow O_2~limiting~reactant(smaller~ratio)

mol of H₂O based on O₂ as limiting reactants :

mol H₂O :

\tt \dfrac{6}{5}\times 3.75=4.5

mass H₂O :

4.5 x 18 g/mol = 81 g

The percent yield :

\tt \%yield=\dfrac{actual}{theoretical}\times 100\%\\\\\%yield=\dfrac{72.2}{81}\times 100\%=89.14\%

Nistu is cooking rice in a pot. When she leaves the pot on the stove for a while, the temperature of the rice increases. What ha
Mila [183]

Answer:

Their average kinetic energy increases

Explanation:

The average kinetic energy of the rice molecules increases as the pot is left on the cooking stove.

Heat is transferred to the pot by conduction from the heat source. The heat is then transferred to the rice in the cooking pot by convection.

  • As the water in the pot heats up.
  • The rice gains thermal energy.
  • This causes the molecules of the rice particles to start vibrating.
  • As the molecules vibrate about their fixed position, their thermal energy continues to increase.
  • Therefore, the amount of heat absorbed by the rice increases with time and this actually cooks the food.
