The question is incomplete. The complete question is:
Calcium Carbide (CaC₂) is an unusual substance that contains a carbon anion (C₂²⁻). The reaction with water involves several steps that occur in rapid succession. CaC2 is a salt (notice that its name is similar to sodium chloride). When a salt dissolves in water, ions leave the crystal lattice and enter the aqueous (aq) solution. Write the relevant balanced chemical equation for the dissolution of CaC₂, in water.
Answer:
CaC₂(s) + 2H₂O(l) → Ca(OH)₂(aq) + C₂H₂(aq)
Explanation:
When a salt dissolves in water, it dissociates in its ions. In the Calcium Carbide, the cation is Ca⁺² and the anion is C₂²⁻, so the reaction is:
CaC₂(s) + 2H₂O(l) → Ca(OH)₂(aq) + C₂H₂(aq)
The base Ca(OH)₂ is soluble, so it will dissociate at Ca⁺ and OH⁻, but the C₂H₂ is stable and doesn't dissociate in the solution.
Potential energy is energy due to an object's height above the ground.
Potential energy = mass x gravity x height
Kinetic energy is energy due to the motion of the object.
Kinetic energy = 1/2 x mass x velocity²
1.
The ball is not moving and is at a height above the ground so it has only potential energy.
P.E = 2 x 9.81 x 40
P.E = 784.8 J
2.
The ball is moving and has a height above the Earth's surface so it has both kinetic and potential energy.
P.E = same as part 1 = 784.8 J
K.E = 1/2 x 2 x 5²
K.E = 25 J
3.
The ball has no height above the Earth's surface and is moving so it has only kinetic energy.
K.E = 1/2 x 2 x 10²
K.E = 100 J
4.
50000 = 1/2 x 1000 x v²
v = 10 m/s
5.
39200 = 200 x 9.81 x h
h = 20.0 m
6.
12.5 = 1/2 x 1 x v²
v = 5 m/s
98 = 1 x 9.81 x h
h = 10.0 m
Answer:
The hottest thing on earth is the man-made quark-gluon plasma that is generated at the LHC at CERN by colliding two lead nuclei together at 7 GeV /c2.
Explanation:
Answer:
a) equilibrium shifts towards the right
b) equilibrium shifts towards the right
c) equilibrium shifts towards the left
d) has no effect on equilibrium position
e) has no effect on equilibrium position
Explanation:
A reversible reaction may attain equilibrium in a closed system. A chemical system is said to be in a state of dynamic equilibrium when the rate of forward reaction is equal to the rate of reaction.
According to Le Chateliers principle, when a constraint such as a change in temperature, pressure, volume or concentration is imposed upon a system in equilibrium, the equilibrium position shifts in such a way as to annul the constraint.
When the concentration of reactants is increased, the equilibrium position is shifted towards the right hand side and more products are formed. For an endothermic reaction, the reverse reaction is favoured by a decrease in temperature. Increase in pressure has no effect on the system since there are equal volumes on both sides of the reaction equation. Similarly, the addition of a catalyst has no effect on the equilibrium position since it speeds up both the forward and reverse reactions to the same extent.
