A _____ exists in the same physical state as that of the reaction it catalyzes.

1 answer:

6 0

<span>A Homogeneous Catalyst exists in the same physical state as that of the reaction it catalyzes.

Explanation:
Catalysts are classifies as follow,
1. Homogeneous Catalyst
2. Heterogeneous Catalyst

</span>Homogeneous Catalyst are those which are in same phase as that of reactants are.

Example:

Acetic Acid + Ethanol + H₂SO₄ → Ethyl Acetate + H₂O + H₂SO₄

In this reaction catalyst and reactants all are in same phase i.e. Liquids.

Heterogeneous Catalyst are those which are in different phase as that of reactants are.

Example:

Ethene + H₂ + Ni → Ethane + Ni

In this reaction ethene and hydrogen are gases while Nickle catalyst is in solid state.

pyrite is a mineral composed of 46.5 mass % iron and 53.5 mass % sulfur. determine the empirical formula for calcocite.

padilas [110]

The empirical formula for pyrite is FeS2.

HOW TO CALCULATE EMPIRICAL FORMULA:

The empirical formula represents the simplest whole number ratio of constituents element of a compound. The empirical formula of pyrite can be calculated as follows:

46.5 mass % Fe = 46.5g of Fe

53.5 mass % S = 53.5g of S

Next, we divide each element's mass value by its molar mass

Fe = 46.5g ÷ 56g/mol = 0.83mol

S = 53.5g ÷ 32g/mol = 1.67mol

Next, we divide each mole value by the smallest (0.83mol)

Fe = 0.83mol ÷ 0.83 = 1

S = 1.67mol ÷ 0.83 = 2.014

Approximately, the ratio of Fe to S is 1:2. Therefore, the empirical formula of pyrite is FeS2.

How well did tossing the pennies simulate half lives?

SSSSS [86.1K]

Its a 50% chance that approx 1/2 of the pennies will land on tails. The next toss will result the same. and so on and so on. showing how a reaction would slowly eliminate 1/2 of the remaining lives per reaction, until nothing is left. I think it is a good stimulation.

Consider the reaction 2Al + 6HBr → 2AlBr3 + 3H2. If 8 moles of Al react with 8 moles of HBr, what is the limiting reactant?

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:- HBr is limiting reactant.

Solution:- The given balanced equation is:

$2Al+6HBr\rightarrow 2AlBr_3+3H_2$

From this equation, There is 2:6 mol or 1:3 mol ratio between Al and HBr. Since we have 8 moles of each, HBr is the limiting reactant as we need 3 moles of HBr for each mol of Al.

The calculations could be shown as:

$8molAl(\frac{6molHBr}{2molAl})$

= 24 mol HBr

From calculations, 24 moles of HBr are required to react completely with 8 moles of Al but only 8 moles of it are available. It clearly indicates, HBr is limiting reactant.

A wooden boat discovered just south of the great pyramid in egypt has a carbon-14>carbon-12 ratio that is 72.5% of that found

Kazeer [188]

The half life for C14 is 5730 years.

We assume that Carbon 14/ Carbon 12 ratio was steady for living organisms over time, the problem is actually telling us that
$\frac{Nt}{N0}$ = 0.0725 = $\frac{1}{2}$ ˣ

Take the natural logarithm and In on both sides.
ln(0.725) = ln $\frac{1}{2}$ ˣ
= - 0.3216 = xln ( $\frac{1}{2}$ = -0.6931x.
So x = (-.3216) / (-0.6931) = 0.464
or

t/t₁/₂ = 0.464
So t = 0.464 x t₁/₂ = 0.464 * 5730 yrs = 2660 years.
