Answer:

CH2FCOOH > CH2ClCOOH > CH2BrCOOH > CH3COOH

Explanation:

CH2FCOOH > CH2ClCOOH > CH2BrCOOH > CH3COOH

More electronegative atom of halogen is , stronger acid will be.

The thermite reaction reacts iron (III) oxide, Fe2O3, with aluminium powder,Al, the form aluminium oxide, Al2O3 and iron, Fe.

lara [203]

Answer:

This answer assumes that the strated "16.0g of iron" was meant to be 16.0 grams of iron(III) oxide.

Explanation:

To start, the thermite equation must be balanced.

I find:

1Fe2O3 + 2Al = 1Al2O3 + 2Fe

This tells us we need 2 moles of Al for every 1 mole of Fe2O3.

Now calculate the moles of each reactant:

Moles Fe2O3: 16.0 g/159.7 g/mole = 0.100 moles Fe2O3

Moles Al: 8.1 /26.98 g/mole = 0.300 moles Al

The balanced equation says that in order to react all of the Fe2O3 we'd need twice that amount (in moles) of the Al. (0.100 moles Fe2O3)*(2) = 0.200 moles Al.

Which of the two reactants is the limiting reagent?

We have more than enough moles of Al to react with 0.10 moles of Fe2O3. (We have 0.300 moles Al and all we need is 0.200 moles to react with the 0.10 moles of Fe2O3. Fe2O3 is the limiting reagent.

Calculate the maximum mass of iron of iron that could be formed using these quantities of reactants.

The balanced equation tells us that we will obtain 2 moles of Fe for every 1 mole of Fe2O3 consumed. Since Fe2O3 is the limiting reagent, we will assume that it completely reacts. That means 0.1 moles of Fe2O3 is reacted. Since we expect twice that many moles of Fe, we should obtain 0.200 moles of Fe. At 55.85 g/mole, we should obtain:

(0.200 moles Fe)*(55.85 g Fe/mole Fe) = 11.2 grams Fe

STALIN [3.7K]

Pitch is sometimes defined as the fundamental frequency of a sound wave. For most practical purposes, this is fine, and pitch and frequency can be thought of as equivalent. On the other hand, for most practical purposes, amplitude can be thought of as volume.

However, technically, pitch and volume are human perceptions. Thus, our perception of pitch and volume are not solely based on frequency and amplitude respectively, but are based on a combination of both. Frequency overwhelming dictates perceived pitch, but amplitude also does have some small, small effect on our pitch perception, especially when it is very large. For example, a very loud sound can have a different perceived pitch than you would predict from its frequency alone.

Hope that helps!

Two 10g blocks, one of copper and one of iron, were heated from 300 K to 400K (a temperature difference of 100 K).

12345 [234]

1) 385 J

2) 450 J

Explanation:

The amount of energy that must be absorbed by a certain substance in order to increase its temperature by $\Delta T$ is given by the equation:

$Q=mC\Delta T$

where

m is the mass of the substance

C is its specific heat capacity

$\Delta T$ is the increase in temperature of the substance

For the block of copper in this problem, we have:

m = 10 g is the mass

$C=0.385 J/gK$ is the specific heat capacity of copper

$\Delta T=400-300 = 100 K$ is the change in temperature

So, the energy absorbed by the block of copper is

$Q=(10)(0.385)(100)=385 J$

Similarly for the block of iron, the energy absorbed by the iron is given by

$Q=mC\Delta T$

where

m is the mass of the block of iron

C is its specific heat capacity of iron

$\Delta T$ is the increase in temperature of the block

Here we have:

m = 10 g is the mass of the block

$C=0.450 J/gK$ is the specific heat capacity of iron

$\Delta T=400-300 = 100 K$ is the change in temperature

So, the energy absorbed by the block of iron is

$Q=(10)(0.450)(100)=450 J$
