A. one-fourth</span>
Answer:
the chemical equation of ethanol as fuel is
C2H5OH(l)+3 02(g)------2CO2(g)+3H2O(g)
the preparation process of ethanol from cassava is
cassava flour---liquification---saccharification---cooling---fermentation---distillation---ethanol
Answer:
Lowering the temperature typically reduces the significance of the decrease in entropy. That makes the Gibbs Free energy of the reaction more negative. As a result, the reaction becomes more favorable overall.
Explanation:
In an addition reaction there's a decrease in the number of particles. Consider the hydrogenation of ethene as an example.
.
When
is added to
(ethene) under heat and with the presence of a catalyst,
(ethane) would be produced.
Note that on the left-hand side of the equation, there are two gaseous molecules. However, on the right-hand side there's only one gaseous molecule. That's a significant decrease in entropy. In other words,
.
The equation for the change in Gibbs Free Energy for a particular reaction is:
.
For a particular reaction, the more negative
is, the more spontaneous ("favorable") the reaction would be.
Since typically
for addition reactions, the "entropy term" of it would be positive. That's not very helpful if the reaction needs to be favorable.
(absolute temperature) is always nonnegative. However, lowering the temperature could help bring the value of
Answer:
A. Reference blank
B. Cuvettes
C. Transmittance
D. Absorbance
E. Wavelength
Explanation:
A reference blank is a sample prepared using the solvent and any other chemicals in the sample solutions, but not the absorbing substance.
A square-shaped container, typically made of quartz, designed to hold samples in a spectrophotometer is known as Cuvettes.
A measurement of the amount of light that passes through a sample or percentage of light transmitted by the sample, with the respective intensities of the incident and transmitted beams is called Transmittance.
The measurement of the amount of light taken in by a sample is known as Absorbance
The wavelength is also the distance travelled by the wave during a period of oscillation. In spectrophotometry, the unit is inversely proportional to energy and commonly measured in nanometers
