How does changing the surface area increase the reaction rate of a chemical change

Chemistry
1 answer:
Anon25 [30]3 years ago
6 0

Effect of increasing surface area on the rate of a reaction. ... Increasing the surface area of a solid reactant exposes more of its particles to attack. This results in an increased chance of collisions between reactant particles, so there are more collisions in any given time and the rate of reaction increases.

Compute the value of the molar heat capacity at constant volume, CVCV, for CO2CO2 on the assumption that there is no vibrational
katovenus [111]

Answer:

Explanation:

Molar heat capacity at constant volume Cv  of a gas = n x .5 R where n is degree of freedom of the gas molecules

CO₂ is a linear molecule , so number of degree of freedom =  3 + 2 = 5

3 is translational and 2 is rotational degree of freedom . There is no vibrational degree of freedom given .

So Cv = 5 / 2 R

= 2.5 R .

A solution is prepared by mixing 25.0 g H2O and 25.0 g C2H5OH. Determine the mole fractions of each substance.
Veronika [31]

Answer:

Mole fraction H₂O → 0.72

Mole fraction C₂H₅OH → 0.28

Explanation:

By the mass of the two elements in the solution, we determine the moles of each:

25 g . 1 mol/ 18g = 1.39 moles of water (solute)

25 g . 1 mol / 46 g = 0.543 moles of ethanol (solvent)

Mole fraction solute = Moles of solute / Total moles

Mole fraction solvent = Moles of solvent / Total moles

Total moles = Moles of solute + Moles of solvent

1.39 moles of solute + 0.543 moles of solvent = 1.933 moles → Total moles

Mole fraction H₂O = 1.39 / 1.933 → 0.72

Mole fraction C₂H₅OH= 0.543 / 1.933 → 0.28

Remember that sum of mole fractions = 1

Which statement about surface tension is FALSE?
Georgia [21]

Answer: B (Items with densities lower than water will sink due to surface tension)

Explanation:

Surface tension is an intermolecular force exerted on the surface of water making it like a stretch elastic skin. Surface tension enables items with lesser densities than water, to float and slide on a water surface. Examples insects, leaves, paper etc

According to Archimedes principle an object denser than the fluid will sink. While objects less dense than the fluid will float.

Answer is (B) is false because items with densities higher then water will sink due to surface tension

Phosphorus trichloride gas and chlorine gas react to form phosphorus pentachloride gas: PCl3(g)+Cl2(g)⇌PCl5(g). A 7.5-L gas vess
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

The equilibrium constant in terms of concentration that is, K_c=3.6243\times 10^{3} .

Explanation:

PCl_3(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons PCl_5(g)

The relation of K_c\& K_p is given by:

K_p=K_c(RT)^{\Delta n_g}

K_p= Equilibrium constant in terms of partial pressure.=98.1

K_c= Equilibrium constant in terms of concentration  =?

T = temperature at which the equilibrium reaction is taking place.

R = universal gas constant

\Delta n_g = Difference between gaseous moles on product side and reactant side=n_{g,p}-n_{g.r}=1-2=-1

98.1=K_c(RT)^{-1}

98.1 =\frac{K_c}{RT}

K_c=98.1\times 0.0821 L atm/mol K\times 450 K=3,624.30=3.6243\times 10^{3}

The equilibrium constant in terms of concentration that is, K_c=3.6243\times 10^{3} .

What is the new volume of a balloon originally at 755 torr and 5.00 l is placed in a container in which the pressure is increase
Luba_88 [7]

Answer is: volume will be 3.97 liters.

Boyle's Law: the pressure volume law -  volume of a given amount of gas held  varies inversely with the applied pressure when the temperature and mass are constant.

p₁V₁ = p₂V₂.

p₁ = 755 torr.

V₁ = 5.00 l.

p₂ = 1.25 atm · 760 torr/atm.

p₂ = 950 torr.

755 torr · 5 l = 950 torr · V₂.

V₂ = 755 torr · 5 l / 950 torr.

V₂ =  3.97 l.

When pressure goes up, volume goes down.

When volume goes up, pressure goes down.
