Answer:

The correct option is;

True

Explanation:

Combustion is a chemical reaction between components of a combustion reaction which are;

1) A fuel

2) An oxidizing agent

The oxidizing agent or oxidant in a combustion reaction consist mainly of oxygen.

A combustion reaction is an oxidation and reduction (redox) heat evolving (exothermic) reaction that takes place at high temperatures and produces smoke which consists of gaseous mixture of chemicals and sometimes very small solid particles

An exothermic reaction can be classed either as rapid, spontaneous, or explosive

A spontaneous exothermic reaction is one that begins on its own in atmospheric conditions and room temperature as the heat required to begin the reaction is produced by the initial oxidation of the reacting fuel

Example of a substance that undergoes spontaneous oxidation reaction is white phosphorus.

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer: 0.151

Explanation:

Rate law says that rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactants each raised to a stoichiometric coefficient determined experimentally called as order.

$2HBr(g)\rightarrow H_2(g)+Br_2(g$

The rate in terms of reactants is given as negative as the concentration of reactants is decreasing with time whereas the rate in terms of products is given as positive as the concentration of products is increasing with time.

$Rate=-\frac{1d[HBr]}{2dt}=+\frac{1d[H_2]}{2dt}=+\frac{1d[Br_2]}{dt}$

Given: $-\frac{d[HBr]}{dt}]=0.301$

Putting in the values we get:

$\frac{0.301}{2}=+\frac{1d[Br_2]}{dt}$

$+\frac{1d[Br_2]}{dt}=0.151$

Thus the rate of appearance of $Br_2$ is 0.151

How much time would it take for 336 mg of copper to be plated at a current of 5.6 A ? Express your answer using two significant

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

1.8 × 10² s

Explanation:

Let's consider the reduction that occurs upon the electroplating of copper.

Cu²⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻ ⇒ Cu(s)

We will establish the following relationships:

1 g = 1,000 mg
The molar mass of Cu is 63.55 g/mol
When 1 mole of Cu is deposited, 2 moles of electrons circulate.
The charge of 1 mole of electrons is 96,486 C (Faraday's constant).
1 A = 1 C/s

The time that it would take for 336 mg of copper to be plated at a current of 5.6 A is:

$336mgCu \times \frac{1gCu}{1,000mgCu} \times \frac{1molCu}{63.55gCu} \times \frac{2mole^{-} }{1molCu} \times \frac{94,486C}{1mole^{-}} \times \frac{1s}{5.6C} = 1.8 \times 10^{2} s$
