Answer: soaps are a sodium or potassium salts of long chain fatty acids.when triglycerides in fat/oil react with aqueous NaOH or KOH,they are converted into soap and glycerol.This is called alkaline hydrolysis of esters.Since this reaction leads to formation of soap, it is called the saponification process.

If you use a horizontal force of 32.0 N to slide a 12.5 kg wooden crate across a floor at a constant velocity, what is the coeff

sergejj [24]

Answer:

Value of coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.26 .

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of wooden crate, m = 12.5 kg.

Horizontal force to keep the block moving with constant velocity, F = 32.0 N.

Since, the block is moving with constant velocity.

So, net force experience by it is zero.

Therefore, fore of friction is equal to applied force.

Now, force of friction , $F=\mu_kN$ ( here $\mu_k$ is coefficient of kinetic friction and N is normal force)

Therefore, $\mu_kN=\mu_k\times mg=\mu_k\times 12.5 \times 9.8=122.5\times \mu_k$

Now, both forces are equal.

$122.5\times \mu_k=32\\\mu_k=\dfrac{32}{122.5}=0.26$

The value of coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.26 .

Hence, it is the required solution.

guapka [62]

Answer:

Shape- square planar , hybridisation-sp3

Explanation:

Shape:

VSPER theorey is used to determine both electron geometry and molecular geometry of a molecule.(PtCl4)2 molecular geometry is square planar
Hybridisation:It undergoes sp3 hybridisation.since there are 2 unpaired electrons in this case, it is paramagnetic in nature

Be sure to answer all parts. The equilibrium constant (Kp) for the reaction below is 4.40 at 2000. K. H2(g) + CO2(g) ⇌ H2O(g) +

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

For 1: The value of $\Delta G$ for the chemical equation is -24.636 kJ/mol

For 2: The value of $\Delta G$ for the chemical equation is -20.925 kJ/mol

Explanation:

For the given chemical equation:

$H_2(g)+CO_2(g)\rightleftharpoons H_2O(g)+CO(g)$

For 1:

To calculate the $\Delta G$ for given value of equilibrium constant, we use the relation:

$\Delta G=-RT\ln K_p$ .....(1)

where,

$\Delta G$ = ? kJ/mol

R = Gas constant = $8.314J/K mol$

T = temperature = 2000 K

$K_p$ = equilibrium constant in terms of partial pressure = 4.40

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta G=-(8.314J/Kmol)\times 2000K\times \ln (4.40)\\\\\Delta G=-24636.12J/mol$

Converting this into kilo joules, we use the conversion factor:

1 kJ = 1000 J

So, -24636.12 J/mol = -24.636 kJ/mol

Hence, the value of $\Delta G$ for the chemical equation is -24.636 kJ/mol

For 2:

The expression of $K_p$ for the given chemical equation is:

$K_p=\frac{p_{CO}p_{H_2O}}{p_{H_2}p_{CO_2}}$

We are given:

$p_{CO}=1.18atm\\p_{H_2O}=0.66atm\\p_{CO_2}=0.82atm\\p_{H_2}=0.27atm$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$K_p=\frac{1.18\times 0.66}{0.27\times 0.82}\\\\K_p=3.52$

Now, calculating the value of $\Delta G$ by using equation 1:

R = Gas constant = $8.314J/K mol$

T = temperature = 2000 K

$K_p$ = equilibrium constant in terms of partial pressure = 3.52

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\Delta G=-(8.314J/Kmol)\times 2000K\times \ln (3.52)\\\\\Delta G=-20925.68J/mol$

Converting this into kilo joules, we use the conversion factor:

1 kJ = 1000 J

So, -20925.68 J/mol = -20.925 kJ/mol

Hence, the value of $\Delta G$ for the chemical equation is -20.925 kJ/mol

True or false

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

True.

But it only changes in physical change.

How?

Explanation:

The chemical reaction produces a new substance with new and different physical and chemical properties. Matter is never destroyed or created in chemical reactions. The particles of one substance are rearranged to form a new substance.

In a physical change, a substance's physical properties may change.

A chemical change is a permanent change. A Physical change affects only physical properties i.e. shape, size, etc. ... Some examples of physical change are freezing of water, melting of wax, boiling of water, etc. A few examples of chemical change are digestion of food, burning of coal, rusting, etc.

Hope this helps!
