Lithium, Sodium, Potassium; any of the Alkali Metals, which are farthest left on the periodic table. This is because they only have one electron in their outermost shell, so they would rather lose an electron rather than try to gain 7 to achieve that full outer shell.
Answer:
a.
1. NO2(g): Reactant.
2. CO(g): Reactant.
3. NO3(g): Intermediate.
4. CO2(g): Product.
5. NO(g): Product.
b. See attached picture.
Explanation:
Hello,
a. In this case, given the reactions, we can identify each species as:
1. NO2(g): Reactant because it remains at the left side in the overall reaction.
2. CO(g): Reactant because it remains at the left side in the overall reaction.
3. NO3(g): Intermediate because it is a product in the step 1 and a reactant in step 2, for that reason it is not present in the overall reaction.
4. CO2(g): Product because it remains at the right side in the overall reaction.
5. NO(g): Product because it remains at the right side in the overall reaction.
b. In this case, given that the first step is slow and endothermic, it has a high activation energy and the products will have more energy than the reactants, for that reason the final energy is above the initial point. Moreover, since the second step is fast and exothermic, it has a low activation energy and the products will have less energy than the reactants, for that reason, the reaction coordinate diagram is shown on the attached file.

The initial temperature is 137.34 °C.
<u>Explanation:</u>
As the specific heat formula says that the heat energy required is directly proportional to the mass and change in temperature of the system.
Q = mcΔT
So, here the mass m is given as 23 kg, the specific heat of steel is given as c = 490 J/kg°C and the initial temperature is required to find with the final temperature being 140 °C. Also the heat energy required is 30,000 J.
ΔT =
ΔT =
Since the difference in temperature is 2.66, then the initial temperature will be
Final temperature - Initial temperature = Change in temperature
140-Initial temperature = 2.66
Initial temperature = 140-2.66 = 137.34 °C
Thus, the initial temperature is 137.34 °C.
Answer:
Cancel out CO because it appears as a reactant in one intermediate reaction and a product in the other intermediate reaction.
Explanation:
The CO appears twice hence in he intermediate reaction it only forms path of the enabling reagents and it further reacts to form the final product. Accounting for the CO in the intermediate reaction that undergoes further reaction will impact on the stoichiometry of the reaction.
