bonufazy [111]3 years ago
4 0

The Sun is the major source of energy for organisms and the ecosystems of which they are a part. Producers such as plants, algae, and cyanobacteria use the energy from sunlight to make organic matter from carbon dioxide and water. This establishes the beginning of energy flow through almost all food webs.

Mercuric oxide (HgO) is heated and forms liquid mercury (Hg) and oxygen (O2) gas. How would you characterize this reaction?
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

Decomposition reaction.

Explanation:

Decomposition reaction -

It is the type of reaction, where a single entity breaks down into various products under the influence of some external factors , like heat and sunlight , is referred to as a decomposition reaction.

From the question,

The reaction is -

2 HgO  →  2 Hg + O₂

Hence ,

A single compound HgO breaks down to two entities , i.e. , Hg and  O₂.

You are given a liquid. Briefly describe the steps you would take to show whether it is a pure substance or a homogeneous mixtur
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

By using any one technique like boiling, distillation, condensation ,etc , one can be used to distinguish between a pure substance and a homogeneous mixture.

Explanation:

If the liquid is a pure substance, then it can not be separated by using physical means because all atoms of a pure substance show same properties.

But on the other hand, if there is homogeneous mixture, it can be separated by using techniques like boiling, distillation, condensation ,etc.

<u>Thus, using any of the one method listed above can be used to distinguish between a pure substance and a homogeneous mixture.</u>

Consider the following reaction mechanism:
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

  • <em><u>Step 2 (the slow step).</u></em>

Explanation:

The rate-determining step is always the slow step of a mechanism.

That is so, because it is the slow step which limits the reaction.

Imaging that for assembling a toy you have process of three steps:

  • 1. order ten pieces, which you can do in 1 minute: meaning that you can order order the pieces for 60/1 = 60 toys in 1 hour.

  • 2. glue the pieces and hold the toy until the glue hardens, which takes 1 hour: meaning finishingh 1 toy in 1 hour.

  • 3. pack the toy, which takes 2 minutes: meaning that you can pack 60/2 = 30 toys in one hour.

The time to glue and hold one toy until the glue hardens determines that you can assemble 1 toy in 1 hour and not 60 toys or 30 toys.

Thus, the step that determines the rate at which the reaction happens is the slowest step: step 2.
