Explain why thermal and electrical conductivity is so high with copper

Chemistry
1 answer:
lidiya [134]2 years ago
8 0

Copper is formed of copper atoms, which are closely clustered together. If observed closely, one could witness the movement of electrons between the atoms of the copper. Each copper atom turns into a positive ion by losing one electron. Thus, copper is a lattice of positive copper ions with the movement of free electrons among them.  

Due to movement of electrons freely through the metal, they are also known as conduction electrons. The presence of these conduction electrons makes the copper a good conductor of electricity and heat.

The first-order rearrangement of CH3NC is measured to have a rate constant of 3.61 x 10-15 s-1 at 298 K and a rate constant of 8
laiz [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is 160.37 KJ/mol.

Explanation:

To find the activation energy in the given case, there is a need to use the Arrhenius equation, which is,  

k = Ae^-Ea/RT

k1 = Ae^-Ea/RT1 and k2 = Ae^-Ea/RT2

k2/k1 = e^-Ea/R (1/T2-1/T1)

ln(k2/k1) = Ea/R (1/T1-1/T2)

The values of rate constant k1 and k2 are 3.61 * 10^-15 s^-1 and 8.66 * 10^-7 s^-1.  

The temperatures T1 and T2 are 298 K and 425 K respectively.  

Now by filling the values we get:  

ln (8.66*10^-7/3.61*10^-15) = Ea/R (1/298-1/425)

19.29 = Ea/R * 0.001

Ea = 160.37 KJ/mol

For each of the esters provided, identify the alcohol and the carboxylic acid that reacted.
Veronika [31]

Answer:

52. The alcohol USED => methanol, CH3OH

The carboxylic acid USED => propanoic acid, CH3CH2COOH.

53. The alcohol USED => Ethanol, CH2CH3OH

The carboxylic acid USED => Formic acid, HCOOH.

Explanation:

52. To obtain Methyl propanoate, CH3CH2COOCH3, we simply react propanoic, CH3CH2COOH and methanol, CH3OH together as shown below:

CH3CH2COOH + CH3OH —> CH3CH2COOCH3 + H2O

The alcohol used: methanol, CH3OH

The carboxylic acid used: propanoic acid, CH3CH2COOH.

53. To obtain Ethyl methanoate, HCOOCH2CH3, we simply react

Formic acid, HCOOH and ethanol, CH3CH2OH together as show below:

HCOOH + CH3CH2OH —> HCOOCH2CH3 + H2O

The alcohol USED => Ethanol, CH2CH3OH

The carboxylic acid USED => Formic acid, HCOOH.
