Answer:

The system makes the transition from nonspontaneous to spontaneous at a temperature of 954.7 K.

Under 954.7 K the reaction is nonspontaneous; more than 954.7 K is the reaction spontaneous.

Explanation:

CH4(g) + 2H2O(g) ⇆ CO2(g) + 4H2(g)

CH4(g) H2O(g) CO2(g) H2(g) ΔH°f (kJ/mol): –74.87 –241.8 –393.5 0

ΔG°f (kJ/mol): –50.81 –228.6 –394.4 0

S°(J/K·mol): 186.1 188.8 213.7 130.7

ΔG<0 to be spontaneous

ΔG = ΔH- TΔS <0

ΔH = ∑nΔH(products) - ∑nΔH(reactant)

ΔH = (-393.5) - (–74.87 + 2*–241.8)

ΔH = 164.97 kJ = 164970 J

ΔS = ∑nΔS(products) - ∑nΔS(reactant)

ΔS = (213.7 + 4*130.7) - (186.1 + 2*188.8)

ΔS = 172.8 J

0 > 164970 J - T* 172.8 J

-164970 J > - T* 172.8 J

954.7< T

The system makes the transition from nonspontaneous to spontaneous at a temperature of 954.7 K.

Under 954.7 K the reaction is nonspontaneous; more than 954.7 K is the reaction spontaneous.

 If more   heat  is removed from the reaction the rate of reaction change as below to counter the action

The rate of the  <em>forward reaction increase</em> and produces more   <em>zinc chloride</em>


<u><em>      explanation</em></u>

  • <u><em> </em></u>The reaction of  zinc and HCl  to produce ZnCl and H2 <u><em>is </em></u> exothermic reaction,  heat  is produced as one product   and by  removing  heat  it favor   forward reaction
  • The position  of equilibrium  moves to the right since  removing  heat led to decrease of temperature  and more  zinc chloride   is produced.

Why does water have a lopsided shape and act like a chemical magnet?
leva [86]

Answer:

See below  

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Shape

The formula for water is H-O-H.

The central O atom has four electron pairs around it. They try to get as far from each other as possible, so they point toward the corners of a tetrahedron.

Only two of the pairs have a hydrogen atom attached, so water has a bent shape. The H-O-H bond angle is about 104°.

(b) Chemical magnet

The O atom has a greater attraction than H for the shared electrons in the O-H bonds, so the electrons spend more time near the O.

This gives the O atom a partial negative charge (pink in the diagram) and the H atoms a partial positive charge (blue).

The water molecule acts like a chemical magnet because its negative end attracts the positive ends of other molecules, while its positive ends attract the negative ends of other molecules.

What is the gasoline doing to our environment?
luda_lava [24]
Gasoline use contributes to air pollution
Gasoline is a toxic and highly flammable liquid. The vapors given off when gasoline evaporates and the substances produced when gasoline is burned (carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and unburned hydrocarbons) contribute to air pollution. Burning gasoline also produces carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas.

How do you find the percent yield of a chemical reaction?
kotegsom [21]
To express the efficiency of a reaction, you can calculate the percent yield using this formula: %yield = (actual yield/theoretical yield) x 100. A percent yield of 90% means the reaction was 90% efficient, and 10% of the materials were wasted (they failed to react, or their products were not
