Answer:

Liquids and gases show random movements because of potential and kinetic energy.

It happens when heat is applied to the particles and they gain more potential and kinetic energy and move around faster. With gases, they have the most energy.

If anything doesnt make sense, make sure to message me

Answer:

The particles show random motion because liquid and gas particles do not have a rigid structure, unlike solid particles. They are free to go anywhere.

For the following reaction, calculate how many moles of NO2 forms when 0.356 moles of the reactant completely reacts.

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

0.712 mol of NO₂ are formed .

Explanation:

For the reaction , given in the question ,

2 N₂O₅ ( g ) → 4 NO₂ ( g ) + O₂ ( g )

From the above balanced reaction ,

2 mol of N₂O₅ reacts to give 4 mol of NO₂

Applying unitary method ,

1 mol of N₂O₅ reacts to give 4 / 2 mol of NO₂

From the question , 0.356 mol of N₂O₅ are reacted ,

now, using the above equation , to calculate the moles of the NO₂ , as follow -

Since ,

1 mol of N₂O₅ reacts to give 4 / 2 mol of NO₂

0.356 mol of N₂O₅ reacts to give 4 / 2 * 0.356 mol of NO₂

Calculating ,

0.712 mol of NO₂ are formed .

Answer:

Decomposers (either Secondary Consumer or Tertiary Consumer)

Explanation:

Decomposers eat dead materials and break them down into chemical parts. ... They keep the ecosystem free of the bodies of dead animals or carrion. They break down the organic material and recycle it into the ecosystem as nutrients. Vultures, Blowflies, hyenas, crabs, lobsters and eels are examples of scavengers.

A 1.00 g sample of octane (C8H18) is burned in a bomb calorimeter with a heat capacity of 837J∘C that holds 1200. g of water at

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

The heat of combustion for 1.00 mol of octane is -5485.7 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of octane = 1.00 grams

Heat capacity of calorimeter = 837 J/°C

Mass of water = 1200 grams

Temperature of water = 25.0°C

Final temperature : 33.2 °C

Step 2: Calculate heat absorbed by the calorimeter

q = c*ΔT

⇒ with c = the heat capacity of the calorimeter = 837 J/°C

⇒ with ΔT = The change of temperature = T2 - T1 = 33.2 - 25.0 : 8.2 °C

q = 837 * 8.2 = 6863.4 J

Step 3: Calculate heat absorbed by the water

q = m*c*ΔT

⇒ m = the mass of the water = 1200 grams

⇒ c = the specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

⇒ ΔT = The change in temperature = T2 - T1 = 33.2 - 25 = 8.2 °C

q = 1200 * 4.184 * 8.2 = 41170.56 J

Step 4: Calculate the total heat

qcalorimeter + qwater = 6863.4 + 41170. 56 = 48033.96 J = 48 kJ

Since this is an exothermic reaction, there is heat released. q is positive but ΔH is negative.

Step 5: Calculate moles of octane

Moles octane = 1.00 gram / 114.23 g/mol

Moles octane = 0.00875 moles

Step 6: Calculate heat combustion for 1.00 mol of octane

ΔH = -48 kJ / 0.00875 moles

ΔH = -5485.7 kJ/mol

The heat of combustion for 1.00 mol of octane is -5485.7 kJ/mol

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

this is what i got

Explanation:

α-decay: When a radioactive nucleus disintegrates by emitting an αα-particle, the atomic number decreases by two and mass number decreases by four. Example: 88Ra226→86Rn222+2He4.
