Gerald's science teacher mixed room temperature samples of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide in a large beaker. The solutio

n still looked clear like water, but when the students carefully touched the beaker one at a time, it felt warm to the touch.
Why did the beaker most likely feel warm?

 <span>HCl is a strong acid and NaOH is a strong base, so mixing them together will produce a lot of heat. The products are salt or Sodium chloride (NaCl) and water (H2O). Since one is an acid and one is a base they will neutralize each other. I hope this helps</span>

Answer:

The beaker feels warm because is an exothermic reaction

Explanation:

An exothermic reaction is one that releases energy, in this case, through heat. Then, when HCl, a strong acid, and NaOH, a strong base, are mixed together it is produced a salt and water with a release of energy. The reaction is expressed as:

HCl + NaOH ------> NaCl + HCl + Energy

This happens because the energy of the products is lower than the energy of the reactants.

What is the minimum cation-to-anion radius ratio (rC/rA) for an octahedral interstitial lattice site?
mash [69]

Answer:

0. 414

Explanation:

Octahedral interstitial lattice sites.

Octahedral interstitial lattice sites are in a plane parallel to the base plane between two compact planes and project to the center of an elementary triangle of the base plane.

The octahedral sites are located halfway between the two planes. They are vertical to the locations of the spheres of a possible plane. There are, therefore, as many octahedral sites as there are atoms in a compact network.

The Octahedral interstitial void ratio range is 0.414 to 0.732. Thus, the minimum cation-to-anion radius ratio for an octahedral interstitial lattice site is 0. 414.

Consider the following reaction mechanism:
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

  • <em><u>Step 2 (the slow step).</u></em>

Explanation:

The rate-determining step is always the slow step of a mechanism.

That is so, because it is the slow step which limits the reaction.

Imaging that for assembling a toy you have process of three steps:

  • 1. order ten pieces, which you can do in 1 minute: meaning that you can order order the pieces for 60/1 = 60 toys in 1 hour.

  • 2. glue the pieces and hold the toy until the glue hardens, which takes 1 hour: meaning finishingh 1 toy in 1 hour.

  • 3. pack the toy, which takes 2 minutes: meaning that you can pack 60/2 = 30 toys in one hour.

The time to glue and hold one toy until the glue hardens determines that you can assemble 1 toy in 1 hour and not 60 toys or 30 toys.

Thus, the step that determines the rate at which the reaction happens is the slowest step: step 2.
