Answer:

To obtain a more accurate read on temperature, the researcher should make sure to measure temperature by Celsius degrees rather than Fahrenheit.

Explanation:

Temperature is a measure of heat intensity. In food science experiments, you should always require an exact description of heat intensity. The most commonly used unit of temperature in the laboratory is the Celsius degree because the Celsius temperature scale is based on the boiling and freezing points of pure water. The difference between the points of boiling and freezing temperatures (at 1 atmosphere of air pressure) is divided into 100 equal units, making a Celsius degree 0.01 of the difference between the boiling and freezing points of water, making it the most accurate method of exact temperature reading. It is important to use the Celsius scale if you have a thermometer that reads Celsius and Fahrenheit.

Given the chemical equation: Fe2O3 + 3CO --> 2Fe + 3CO2

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 160 g of Fe₂O₃

Explanation:

Data

mass of Fe = 112 g

mass of CO = in excess

mass of Fe₂O₃ = ?

Balanced chemical reaction

Fe₂O₃ + 3CO ⇒ 2Fe + 3CO₂

Process

1.- Calculate the molar mass of Fe₂O₃ and Fe

Molar mass Fe₂O₃ = (56 x 2) + (16 x 3) = 112 + 48 = 160 g

atomic mass of Fe = 56

2.- Use proportions to calculate the mass of Fe₂O₃ needed

160 g of Fe₂O₃ ------------------- 2(56) g of Fe

x g of Fe₂O₃ ------------------ 112 g of Fe

x = (112 x 160) / 2(56)

x = 17920/112

x = 160 g of Fe₂O₃

An endergonic reaction with a Δh and Δs can be changed into an exergonic reaction.

zheka24 [161]

Full question:

This question is incomplete, here it is completed:

An endergonic reaction with a ______ ∆H and a ______ ∆S can be changed into an exergonic reaction by decreasing the temperature.

Option A: negative, positive

Option B: negative, negative

Option C: positive, positive

Option D: positive, negative

Answer:

Option B: negative, negative

Explanation:

The change in free energy (ΔG) of a system for a constant-temperature process is

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

free energy is the energy available to do work. Thus, if a particular reaction is accompanied by a release of usable energy (that is, ΔG is negative), it is said to be exergonic. On the other hand, if a reaction consumes energy (that is, ΔG is positive), it is said to be endergonic.

Looking at the equation, we can see that if ΔH is negative and ΔS is negative, then ΔG will be negative only when TΔS is smaller in magnitude than ΔH. This condition is met when T is small.

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

- -

This means that the reaction proceeds spontaneously at low temperatures. At high temperatures, the reverse reaction becomes spontaneous. An example of that would be the following reaction:

NH₃(g) + HCl(g) → NH₄Cl(s)
