A chemist observes that a large molecule reacts as if it were much smaller. The chemist proposes that the molecule is folded in

a way that causes it to react differently than expected and develops a series of experiments to test that proposition. How would the chemist's proposition be classified?

Answer:

Hypothesis

Explanation:

The following steps are applicable when we wish to prove a specific fact:

  • a hypothesis is made; this is a statement that we provide after some observations and we wish to either prove or deny it;
  • multiple experiments are carried out in order to gather significantly substantial amount of data that can be then further analyzed and any tendencies can be noticed;
  • based on the data gathered, conclusions are made: we either prove or deny the hypothesis. If hypothesis is proved, it may become a theory over long time.

In the context of this problem, we're at the first step where we make a hypothesis.

A smaple of 1cm cuvette gives an absorbance reading of 0.558. if they absorptivity for this sample is 15000l/(mol.cm), what is t
Mazyrski [523]
To solve this problem, we use Beer's Law: A= ε.l.c
A is the absorbance- 0,558
<span>ε is</span> the molar absorptivity- is <span>15000 </span><span><span>L⋅mol-1</span><span>cm-1</span></span>
<span>l is </span>the length of the cuvette- 1 cm
<span>c is</span> the molar concentration

Applying the formula,
0,558= 15000 x 1 x c
0,558/15000= c
c= <span>3.72×<span>10⁻⁵ </span> <span>mol⋅L<span>⁻¹</span></span></span>

Sloan [31]

Answer:

Mass =  42.8g

Explanation:

4 NH 3 ( g ) + 5 O 2 ( g ) ⟶ 4 NO ( g ) + 6 H 2 O ( g )

Observe that every 4 mole of ammonia requires 5 moles of oxygen to obtain 4 moles of Nitrogen oxide and 6 moles of water.

Step 1: Determine the balanced chemical equation for the chemical reaction.

The balanced chemical equation is already given.

Step 2: Convert all given information into moles (through the use of molar mass as a conversion factor).

Ammonia = 63.4g × 1mol / 17.031 g = 3.7226mol

Oxygen = 63.4g × 1mol / 32g = 1.9813mol

Step 3: Calculate the mole ratio from the given information. Compare the calculated ratio to the actual ratio.

If all of the 1.9831 moles of oxygen were to be used up, there would need to be 1.9831 × 4 / 5 or 1.5865 moles of Ammonia. We have 3.72226 moles of ammonia - Far excess. Because there is an excess of Ammonia, the Oxygen amount is used to calculate the amount of the products in the reaction.

Step 4: Use the amount of limiting reactant to calculate the amount of H2O produced.

5 moles of O2  = 6 moles of H2O

1.9831 moles = x

x = (1.9831 * 6 ) / 5

x = 2.37972 moles

Mass of H2O = Molar mass * Molar mass

Mass = 2.7972 * 18

Mass =  42.8g

The decomposition of carbon disulfide to carbon monosulfide and sulfur is first order with k=2.8 ×10^-7 at 1000°C .What is the h
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

2.5×10⁶ s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Rate constant (K) = 2.8×10¯⁷ s¯¹

Half-life (t½) =?

The half-life of a first order reaction is given by:

Half-life (t½) = 0.693 / Rate constant (K)

t½ = 0.693 / K

With the above formula, we can obtain the half-life of the reaction as follow:

Rate constant (K) = 2.8×10¯⁷ s¯¹

Half-life (t½) =?

t½ = 0.693 / K

t½ = 0.693 / 2.8×10¯⁷

t½ = 2.5×10⁶ s

Therefore, the half-life of the reaction is 2.5×10⁶ s

During a 4 hour trip, a boat sailed 70 km in 2 h. Then the boat did not move for 1 hour and traveled 26 km in the last hour. Wha
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

32km/hr

Explanation:

The question asks to calculate the average speed for a boat.

Mathematically, the average speed is the total distance divided by the total time

Let’s get the total distance traveled:

That would be 70km + 26km = 96km

Now the total time taken would be 3 as the boat did not move at all for an hour.

The average speed is thus 96/3 = 32km/hr
