Why is steel wool heavier after it’s burned

Chemistry
1 answer:
ElenaW [278]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Explanation:

When something is burned, it means that it is <u>reacted with oxygen</u>. Steel wool is made out of iron, which bonds with oxygen atoms to form iron oxide which is solid in this reaction. Since, there are now more solid atoms in the steel wool, it will weigh more than before it was burned.

Hope this helped!

Answer:

Magnesium and calcium belong to the second group i. e. alkaline earth metals. They are known as earth metals because they are extracted from the earth. They are very reactive elements. Their reactivity increases when we go from top to bottom because the outermost electrons goes farther from the nucleus i. e. atomic radius increases so less energy is needed for its removal.

A calorimeter contains 35.0 mLmL of water at 15.0 ∘C∘C . When 2.20 gg of XX (a substance with a molar mass of 56.0 g/molg/mol )
Temka [501]

Answer:

ΔH rx = -43.5 kJ / mol

Explanation:

In water, Xdissolves thus:

X(s) + H₂O(l) → X(aq) + H₂O(aq)

It is possible to find the heat in dissolution process using coffee cup calorimeter equation:

Q = -m×C×ΔT

<em>Where Q is heat, m is mass of solution (35.0g -density 1g/mL- + 2.20g = 37.2g), C is specific heat of solution (4.18J/g°C), and ΔT is change in temperature (26.0°C-15.0°C = 11.0°C)</em>

Replacing:

Q = -37.2g×4.18J/g°C×11.0°C

Q = -1710J = -<em>1.71kJ</em>

As enthalpy is the change in heat per mole of reaction, moles of X that reacted were:

2.20g X × (1mol / 56.0g) = <em>0.0393 moles</em>

As heat produced per 0.0393moles was -1.71kJ, heat per mole of X is:

-1.71kJ / 0.0393mol = -<em>43.5 kJ / mol = ΔH rx</em>

During a laboratory experiment you discover that an enzyme-catalyzed reaction has a delta G of -20 kcal/mol. If you double the a
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

-20 kcal/mol

Explanation:

In a reaction, enzymes reduces the energy of activation, but they have no effect on the Gibb's free energy of reaction. The free energy of the product is the same as it would be without the enzyme. Thus, the enzyme does not affect the free energy of the reaction. Mathematically

Gibb free energy = Enthalpy - temperature x change in entropy

Note that from the relation above, enzyme is not a factor nor is activation energy a factor.
