Answer:

From this I could observe the effect of concentration and surface area on the reaction rate. The concentrated acids can dissolve a large piece of limestone in a few days because the higher reactant concentration leads to more frequent collisions which increases the reaction rate. Acid rain is diluted with water which is why it can take decades. However, statues with intricate carvings break down more quickly because it increases the surface area which increases reaction rate.

Answer:

The time taken for the statue to break down depends on the reaction rate. The low concentration of acids in acid rain reduces the reaction rate and increases the time required to break down the statue. Intricate carvings increase the surface area of the statue and therefore increase the rate of the statue’s breakdown.

I just took the ed-genuity lesson

Hope this helps!

Predict the major product of the following reaction of 1-methylcyclohexene with dilute HCl in H2O?

Scrat [10]

Answer:

1-chloro-1-methylcyclohexane

Explanation:

The hydrocarbons with one double bond are called alkenes and are named with the suffix "ene". The alkenes, such as 1-methylcyclohexene, react better in an addition reaction. The double bond will be broken, and the substitutes will be placed at them.

In the reaction with HCl, H and Cl will be added to the carbons of the broken bond. The major product is formed when H is put at the carbon less substituted. Thus, the product will be the one given below, 1-chloro-1-methylcyclohexane.

If 588 grams of FeS2 is allowed to react with 352 grams of O2 according to the following equation, how many grams of Fe2O3 are p

Rainbow [258]

Answer: The mass of iron (III) oxide produced is 782.5 grams

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For $FeS_2$ :

Given mass of $FeS_2$ = 588 g

Molar mass of $FeS_2$ = 120 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of }FeS_2=\frac{588g}{120g/mol}=4.9mol$

For $O_2$ :

Given mass of $O_2$ = 352 g

Molar mass of $O_2$ = 32 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of }O_2=\frac{352g}{32g/mol}=11mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of $FeS_2$ and oxygen gas follows:

$FeS_2+O_2\rightarrow Fe_2O_3+SO_2$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of $FeS_2$ reacts with 1 mole of oxygen gas

So, 4.9 moles of $FeS_2$ will react with = $\frac{1}{1}\times 4.9=4.9mol$ of oxygen gas

As, given amount of oxygen gas is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, $FeS_2$ is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of $FeS_2$ produces 1 mole of iron (III) oxide

So, 4.9 moles of $FeS_2$ will produce = $\frac{1}{1}\times 4.9=4.9moles$ of iron (III) oxide

Now, calculating the mass of iron (III) oxide from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of iron (III) oxide = 159.7 g/mol

Moles of iron (III) oxide = 4.9 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$4.9mol=\frac{\text{Mass of iron (III) oxide}}{159.7g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of iron (III) oxide}=(4.9mol\times 159.7g/mol)=782.5g$

Hence, the mass of iron (III) oxide produced is 782.5 grams

To convert from liters/second to cubic gallons/minute, multiply the number of liters/second by 15.850 0 0.0353 00.2642 0 60

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer: 15.850

Explanation:

The conversion used from liters to gallons is:

1 L = 0.264172 gallon

The conversion used from sec to min is:

60 sec = 1 min

1 sec = $\frac{1}{60}\times 1=0.017min$

We are asked: liters/sec = gallons/min

$liters/sec=\frac{0.264172}{0.017}=15.850gallons/min$

Therefore, to convert from liters/second to gallons/minute, multiply the number of liters/second by 15.850.

Copper has two naturally occurring isotopes, 63Cu (isotopic mass 62.9296 amu) and 65Cu (isotopic mass 64.9278 amu). If copper ha

Semenov [28]

Answer:

Percentage of first isotope = 69.152 %

Percentage of second isotope = 30.848 %

Explanation:

The formula for the calculation of the average atomic mass is:

$Average\ atomic\ mass=(\frac {\%\ of\ the\ first\ isotope}{100}\times {Mass\ of\ the\ first\ isotope})+(\frac {\%\ of\ the\ second\ isotope}{100}\times {Mass\ of\ the\ second\ isotope})$

Given that:

For first isotope:

Let % = x %

Mass = 62.9296 amu

For second isotope:

% = 100 - x % (Since, there are only two isotopes)

Mass = 64.9278 amu

Average mass = 63.546 amu

Thus,

$63.546=\frac {x}{100}\times {62.9296}+\frac {(100-x)}{100}\times {64.9278}$

Solving,

1.9982 x = 138.18

Thus,

Percentage of first isotope = x = 69.152 %

Percentage of second isotope = 100 - x % = 30.848 %

Obsidian is a volcanic glass that forms when lava cools very quickly and consists of a solid mass of glass through and through.

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Obsidian is not a mineral as the atoms or molecules in obsidian do not have a crystalline structure.

Explanation:

Obsidian originates naturally and is formed by igneous rock.

When felsic larva comes out from the volcano,it rapidly cools down and thus form obsidian.It is pure black in color but some times color differ due to presence of some impurities.

It is brittle,but hard.It is not a mineral and is called as mineraloids and is not found in crystalline form,.

The main constituent is SiO2.

It is found in the margin of rhyolitic lava.
