I need help identifying the type of reactions. Can anyone help?
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Reaction 5: Decomposition reaction.

Reaction 6: Single replacement reaction

Reaction 7: Combination reaction.

Reaction 8: Combustion reaction.

Explanation:

<u><em>Reaction 5:</em></u>    2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂.

  • It is a decomposition reaction.
  • A decomposition reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which a single compound breaks down into two or more elements or new compounds.
  • In this reaction: potassium chlorate decomposes into two single components (potassium chloride and oxygen).
  • So, it is a decomposition reaction.

<u><em>Reaction 6:</em></u> Zn + 2HCl → H₂ + ZnCl₂.

  • It is a single replacement reaction.
  • A single-replacement reaction, a single-displacement reaction, is a reaction by which one (or more) element(s) replaces an/other element(s) in a compound.
  • It is most often occur if element is more reactive than the other, thus giving a more stable product.
  • In this reaction, zinc metal (more active) displaces the hydrogen to form hydrogen gas and zinc chloride, a salt. Zinc reacts quickly with the acid to form bubbles of hydrogen.

<u><em>Reaction 7:</em></u> N₂O₅ + H₂O → 2HNO₃.

  • It is a combination "synthesis" reaction.
  • A synthesis reaction has two or more reactants and only one product.
  • In this reaction, dinitrogen pentoxide reacts with water to produce nitric acid.
  • So, it is considered as a synthetic "combination" reaction.

<u><em>Reaction 8:</em></u> 2C₂H₆ + 7O₂ →  4CO₂ + 6H₂O.

  • It is a combustion reaction.
  • A combustion reaction is a reaction where hydrocarbon alkane is completely burned in oxygen to produce water and carbon dioxide.
  • In this reaction 1.0 mole of ethane is burned to give 4.0 moles of carbon dioxide and 6.0 moles of water.
  • So, it is considered as a combustion reaction.

An arctic weather balloon is filled with 27.8 L of helium gas inside a prep shed. The temperature inside the shed is . The ballo
Liula [17]

The question is incomplete, here is a complete question.

An arctic weather balloon is filled with 27.8 L of helium gas inside a prep shed. The temperature inside the shed is 13 ⁰C. The balloon is then taken outside, where the temperature is -9 ⁰C. Calculate the new volume of the balloon. You may assume the pressure on the balloon stays constant at exactly 1 atm. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Answer : The new volume of the balloon is 25.7 L

Explanation :

Charles's Law : It is defined as the volume of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure and number of moles.

V\propto T

or,

\frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}

where,

V_1 = initial volume of gas = 27.8 L

V_2 = final volume of gas = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of gas = 13^oC=273+13=286K

T_2 = final temperature of gas = -9^oC=273+(-9)=264K

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

\frac{27.8L}{286K}=\frac{V_2}{264K}

V_2=25.7L

Therefore, the new volume of the balloon is 25.7 L

Which analogy can best be likened to the activation energy of a chemical reaction?
olganol [36]
The activation energy of a reaction is the minimum energy that must be overcome in order for the reaction to take place. One way of reaching the activation energy is by manipulating the process conditions like pressure or temperature. But the most common method is by adding an enzyme. An enzyme speeds up the rate of the reaction but does not actively take part in it.

An analogy would be pushing heavy wooden block down a slope. No matter how many people push on it, the block won't move because of friction. But if you spill oil on the floor, the block would effortlessly move down the slope. The oil here is like an enzyme in a reaction.
