Why is graphite used as a lubricant

2 answers:

6 0

There are weaker covalent bonds between these layers, hence they can easily slide over each other. Due to this, it is a lubricant, since the layers slide over each other so easily. ... Graphite is a mineral made of loosely bonded sheets of carbon atoms, giving it a slippery texture that makes it a very effective lubricant.

If 2.0 g of copper(II) chloride react with excess sodium nitrate, what mass of sodium chloride is formed in this double replacem

cluponka [151]

Taking into account the reaction stoichiometry, 1.729 grams of NaCl is formed.

<h3>Reaction stoichiometry</h3>

In first place, the balanced reaction is:

CuCl₂ + 2 NaNO₃ → Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2 NaCl

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:

CuCl₂: 1 mole
NaNO₃: 2 moles
Cu(NO₃)₂ : 1 mole
NaCl: 2 moles

The molar mass of the compounds is:

CuCl₂: 134.44 g/mole
NaNO₃: 85 g/mole
Cu(NO₃)₂ : 187.54 g/mole
NaCl: 58.45 g/mole

Then, by reaction stoichiometry, the following mass quantities of each compound participate in the reaction:

CuCl₂: 1 mole ×134.44 g/mole= 134.44 grams
NaNO₃: 2 moles ×85 g/mole= 170 grams
Cu(NO₃)₂ : 1 mole ×187.54 g/mole= 187.54 grams
NaCl: 2 moles ×58.45 g/mole= 116.9 grams

<h3>Mass of NaCl formed</h3>

The following rule of three can be applied: If by stoichiometry of the reaction 134.44 grams of CuCl₂ form 116.9 grams of NaCl, 2 grams of CuCl₂ form how much mass of NaCl?

$mass of NaCl=\frac{2 grams of CuCl_{2}x116.9 grams of NaCl }{134.44grams of CuCl_{2}}$

<u><em>mass of NaCl= 1.739 grams</em></u>

Finally, 1.729 grams of NaCl is formed.

Answer:

0.17325 moles per liter per second

Explanation:

For a first order reaction;

in[A] = in[A]o - kt

Where;

[A]= concentration at time t

[A]o = initial concentration

k= rate constant

t= time taken

ln0.5 =ln1 - 2k

2k = ln1 - ln0.5

k= ln1 - ln0.5/2

k= 0 -(0.693)/2

k= 0.693/2

k= 0.3465 s-1

Rate of reaction = k[A]

Rate = 0.3465 s-1 × 0.50 mol/L

Rate = 0.17325 moles per liter per second

Which list best represents the flow of stimuli information in the body?

Vlad1618 [11]

The flow of stimuli information in the body is from the receptors to sensory neuron (afferent neurons) to the interneurons then to the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) then is carried of by the motor neurons (efferent neurons) to the mucles involve.

Sensation to transduction to perception. Sensation is the ambiguous information which is received by the receptors or sensory organ henceforth, transduction occurs in the nerve cell protruding to the brain and is now called perception as the vague stimuli is interpreted and processed to be understood then is responded with the proper and apt response or reaction.
