A large piece of iron was reacted with an acid. What would happen to the rate of the reaction had the large piece been finely di

vided into smaller pieces? (1 point)
It will decrease because the reactant particles are moved farther apart.
It will increase because the reactant particles are brought closer together.
It will decrease because larger particles provide more surface area to react.
It will increase because smaller particles provide more surface area to react.

Answer:

D: It will increase because smaller particles provide more surface area to react.

Explanation:

When the large iron is broken up into smaller pieces, there are more places for the iron to react (meaning there's more surface area). Think of it like taking the surface area of a big cube compared to the surface area of a bunch of small cubes. The sum of the surface areas of the small cubes will be greater than that of the large cube. As a result, more places for the iron to react will cause for a greater reaction.

If 5.0 liters H2 (g) at STP is heated to a temperature of 985, pressure remaining constant, the new volume of the gas will be?
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

V_2=18 \ L \ H_2

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Chemistry - Gas Laws</u>

  • STP (Standard Conditions for Temperature and Pressure) = 22.4 L per mole at 1 atm, 273 K
  • Charles' Law: \frac{V_1}{T_1} =\frac{V_2}{T_2}

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

Initial Volume: 5.0 L H₂ gas

Initial Temp: 273 K

Final Temp: 985 K

Final Volume: ?

<u>Step 2: Solve for new volume</u>

  1. Substitute:                    \frac{5 \ L \ H_2}{273 \ K} =\frac{x \ L \ H_2}{985 \ K}
  2. Cross-multiply:             (5 \ L \ H_2)(985 \ K) = (x \ L \ H_2)(273 \ K)
  3. Multiply:                        4925 \ L \ H_2 \cdot K = 273x \ L \ H_2 \cdot K
  4. Isolate <em>x</em>:                       18.0403 \ L \ H_2 = x
  5. Rewrite:                         x=18.0403 \ L \ H_2

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>We are given 2 sig figs as the smallest. Follow sig fig rules and round.</em>

<em />18.0403 \ L \ H_2 \approx 18 \ L \ H_2<em />

When radium-226 (atomic number-88) decays by emitting an alpha particle it becomes _____.
topjm [15]

Answer:

d. Radon-222

Explanation:

²²⁶₈₈Ra → ²²²₈₆Rn  + ⁴₂He

Alpha particle is a helium nucleus with mass number 4 and atomic number 2. According to the law of conversation of mass, the sum of the mass number and atomic number must be equal on both side of the reaction.  

Since the mass number of Ra is 226 and that of He is 4. The mass number of the unknown element must be 226 - 4 = 222.  

Since the atomic number of Ra is 88 and that of He is 2. The atomic number of the unknown element must be 88 - 2 = 86.  

Now looking in the periodic table Radon is the only element with atomic number 86.

Billy the friendly Robot uses 50 N of force to lift a box 2 meters in the air. How much work did Billy perform?
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Work done, W = 100 J

Explanation:

We have, Billy the friendly Robot uses 50 N of force to lift a box 2 meters in the air.

It is required to find the work done by Billy.

Work done by an object is given in terms of force and displacement. The formula used to find the work done is given by :

W=Fd\\\\W=50\ N\times 2\ m\\\\W=100\ J

So, the work performed by Billy is 100 J.
