Why don’t the trees spontaneously catch fire and burn all the time? Why don’t the fires stop immediately as soon as they start?

Chemistry

7 0

Answer:

Both of these phenomena is due to the ignition temperature.

Explanation:

Trees don't spontaneously catch fire because there is a temperature above which materials combust. This is called the "ignition temperature." This temperature must be reached before the trees will ignite, and the external condition does not always harbor such high temperature.

Fires don't stop immediately because, while some parts of the flame has cooled down sufficiently below the ignition temperature, other parts of the flame have not. It takes time for all the part of the flame to cool down below ignition temperature for the burning to stop.

A solution contains some or all of the ions Cu²⁺, Al³⁺, K⁺, Ca²⁺, Ba²⁺, Pb²⁺, and NH₄⁺. The following tests were performed, in o
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

Among given, the ions which are present in the given solution are:

Cu²⁺, Al³⁺ and K⁺

Among given, the ions which are absent in the given solution are:

Pb²⁺, Ca²⁺ and Ba²⁺

The ion which no conclusion is NH₄⁺.

Explanation:

Reagents given are used in salt analysis. The salt analysis is a qualitative analysis used for the identification of cations and anions of inorganic salts.

HCl is used for the identification of group I cations. As no reaction occurred when HCl is added to the solution, that means group I cations are absent.

So, among the given Pb²⁺ is a group I cation, therefore, Pb²⁺ is absent.

H₂S along with HCl is used for the identification group II salts.

Addition of Addition of H₂S with 0.2 M HCl produced a black solid, so, group II cation Cu²⁺ is present.

H₂S is used for the identification of group III cations.

When H₂S is added to the filtrate of group II, white precipitate is formed that means group III cations are present. Among group III cations, Al³⁺ is present.

Addition of (NH₄)₂HPO₄ in the presence of NH₃ is used for the identification of group IV cations.

As no precipitate is formed, therefore, group IV cations are absent.

So among given options, Ca²⁺ and Ba²⁺ are absent in the given solution.

The final supernatant when heated produces purple flame which indicates the presence of K⁺.

Therefore, among given, the ions which are present in the given solution are:

Cu²⁺, Al³⁺ and K⁺

Among given, the ions which are absent in the given solution are:

Pb²⁺, Ca²⁺ and Ba²⁺

The ion which no conclusion is NH₄⁺.

What is the rate constant of a first-order reaction that takes 5.50 minutes for the reactant concentration to drop to half of it
bulgar [2K]
For a first order reaction, the half life is inversely proportional to the rate constant. 
The formula is
half life = ln(2)/k = 0.693/k
where k is the rate constant

t = 5.50 minutes

k = ln(2)/5.50 = 0.126 min^-1

Your rate constant is 0.126 min^-1.

A sample of an ionic compound containing iron and chlorine is analyzed and found to have a molar mass of 126.8 g/mol. what is th
julsineya [31]
Answer is: <span>the charge of the iron in this compound is +2.
Atomic mass of iron is 55,8 g/mol.
Atomic mass of chlorine is 35,5 g/mol.
If compound is FeCl, molar mass would be 55,8 </span>g/mol + 35,5 g/mol = 91,3 g/mo, that is not correct.
If compound is FeCl₂, malar mass of compound would be:
55,8 g/mol + 2·35,5 g/mol = 126,8 g/mol, that is correct.
Oxaidation number of chlorine is -1.
