The answer is: b. Safety glasses and acid-resistant gloves.
Battery acid (sulfuric acid) has pH = 0.
Sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) is a strong acid, it means that the solution of sufuric acid is more acidic (pH<7) than water (pH = 7).
Chemical dissociation of sulfuric acid in water:
H₂SO₄(aq) → 2H⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq).
Sulfuric acid can come in contact with eyes and hands, so it is important to wear safety glasses and acid-resistant gloves.
Answer: (2) decreasing the concentration of HCl(aq) to 0.1 M
Explanation: Rate of a reaction depends on following factors:
1. Size of the solute particles: If the reactant molecules are present in smaller size, surface of particles and decreasing the size increases the surface area of the solute particles. Hence, increasing the rate of a reaction.
2. Reactant concentration: The rate of the reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of reactants.
3. Temperature: Increasing the temperature increases the energy of the molecules and thus more molecules can react to give products and rate increases.
(1) Increasing the initial temperature to 25°C will increase the reaction rate.
(2) Decreasing the concentration of HCl(aq) to 0.1 M will decrease the reaction rate due to lesser concentration.
(3) Using 1.2 g of powdered Mg will increase the reaction rate due to large surface area.
(4) Using 2.4 g of Mg ribbon will increase the reaction rate due to high concentration of reactants.
Answer:
A.) 1
Explanation:
Propane only exists in one conformation. It does not have enough carbons to form branches, and there are only hydrogens attached to each carbon. Furthermore, there is no way to twist the carbon or change its orientation (ex. cis- and trans-) to result in a different structure of propane. There is no other way to represent the molecule without drawing a different molecule.
