Answer:

Solution Y is more acidic

Explanation:

The pH value is an indicator of the concentration of hydrogen ions (H⁺) in an aqueous solution, and it is defined as:

pH= -log [H⁺]

⇒ [H^{+} ]= 10^{-pH}

Where  [H⁺] is the concentration of H⁺. A solution with a higher concentration of H⁺ is more acidic, and a solution with a lower concentration of H⁺ is less acidic or basic.

As result, <em>the lower the pH, the more the concentration of hydrogen ions ([H⁺]), and the aqueous solution is more acidic</em>.

Solution Y has a lower pH value (7.5) than solution X (9.4). So, solution Y is more acidic.

erik [133]

Answer:

Explanation:

The changes in temperature caused by a reaction, combined with the values of the specific heat and the mass of the reacting system, makes it possible to determine the heat of reaction.

Heat energy can be measured by observing how the temperature of a known mass of water (or other substance) changes when heat is added or removed. This is basically how most heats of reaction are determined. The reaction is carried out in some insulated container, where the heat absorbed or evolved by the reaction causes the temperature of the contents to change. This temperature change is measured and the amount of heat that caused the change is calculated by multiplying the temperature change by the heat capacity of the system.

The apparatus used to measure the temperature change for a reacting system is called a calorimeter (that is, a calorie meter). The science of using such a device and the data obtained with it is called calorimetry. The design of a calorimeter is not standard and different calorimeters are used for the amount of precision required. One very simple design used in many general chemistry labs is the styrofoam "coffee cup" calorimeter, which usually consists of two nested styrofoam cups.

When a reaction occurs at constant pressure inside a Styrofoam coffee-cup calorimeter, the enthalpy change involves heat, and little heat is lost to the lab (or gained from it). If the reaction evolves heat, for example, very nearly all of it stays inside the calorimeter, the amount of heat absorbed or evolved by the reaction is calculated.

Electrons in conductors, like copper wire, are free to roam throughout the metal in the presence of the ions that have released
Scrat [10]

Answer:

  • <u><em>No, I would not consider a metal to be a plasma because plasma is just another state of matter, and the copper wire is in solid state.</em></u>

Explanation:

Metal is not a state of matter. Metals can be solid or liquid (molten) depending on their melting point and the temperature at which they are.

Plasma is a state of matter, similar to gas, but it is reached only at very high temperatures like in the Sun. The particles in plasma state are not neutral atoms or molecules but negatively charged  ions and electrons.

The copper wire is yet a solid, thus it cannot be considered a plasma.

Metals can be in plasma state only if the temperature is too high, like the temperatures in the stars. In fact, the metals in the Sun and other hotter stars are in plasma state.

Which of the following are correct for zero-order reactions?
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

The answer is "Choice A and Choice B"

Explanation:

The Zero-Order reactions are usually found if a substrate, like a surface or even a catalyst, is penetrated also by reactants. Its success rate doesn't depend mostly on the amounts of the various reaction in this reaction.

Let the Rate = k

As \frac{dx}{dt} \ rate\ \  K_0 doesn't depend on reaction rate, a higher reaction rate does not intensify the reaction.

By the rate k_0 =\frac{dx}{dt}, the created based and the reaction rate is about the same.
