 There is a time delay of almost two to three minutes before the reaction proceeds because of the following processes:

<span>1)    </span><span> The acid starts to go yellow as the dehydration begins.</span>

<span>2)    </span><span> The rate of dehydration then accelerates as the acid heats up because the reaction is exothermic/chemical (releases energy by light or heat).  As the sugar molecules are stripped of water, the heat generated turns the water into steam which then expands the remaining carbon into a porous, smoking, black column.</span>

<span>3)    </span>This expands out of the reaction vessel, producing a choking acrid vapor and the smell of burned sugar.

<span> At this stage, sulfuric acid is highly corrosive and will burn skin so one must avoid contact with it. </span>

The are different reasons and these are the following:
1) The acid starts to go yellow as the dehydration begins.
2)The rate of dehydration then accelerates as the acid heats up .
3)This expands out of the reaction vessel.

The energy and state changes that occur when freezing rain falls and solidfies on a wire fence
Alex787 [66]

Freezing rain is the term given to the precipitation of the rain sustained at temperatures below freezing by the ambient air mass, which results in freezing on encountering with the surfaces. Freezing rain is formed completely of liquid droplets, unlike sleet, ice pellets, or hail.  

The freezing rain falls and solidifies on a wire fence as the rain is changing from a liquid to a solid state by withdrawing thermal energy, ultimately resulting in freezing.

Calculate the average velocity of nitogen molecule at STP<br>​
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

Nitrogen molecule is 28 neuclons×1.67×10-27 kg/nucleon = 4.68 д 10-26 kg. So the average speed of a gas molecule is about 500 m/sec. This is roughly the speed of sound in a gas 340 m/sec. So the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules is related to the temperature of the gas.

I hope this is helpful

Hydrogen iodide, HI, is formed in an equilibrium reaction when gaseous hydrogen and iodine gas are heated together. If 20.0 g of
Kaylis [27]

Answer: D. 19.9 g hydrogen remains.

Explanation:

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}

a) moles of H_2

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{20.0g}{2g/mol}=10.0moles

b) moles of I_2

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{20.0g}{254g/mol}=0.0787moles

H_2(g)+I_2(g)\rightarrow 2HI(g)

According to stoichiometry :

1 mole of I_2 require 1 mole of H_2

Thus 0.0787 moles of l_2 require=\frac{1}{1}\times 0.0787=0.0787moles of H_2

Thus l_2 is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and H_2 acts as the excess reagent. (10.0-0.0787)= 9.92 moles of H_2are left unreacted.

Mass of H_2=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=9.92moles\times 2.01g/mol=19.9g

Thus 19.9 g of H_2 remains unreacted.

Acetone is the main chemical in nail polish and has a density of 0.7857 g/mL. What is the volume of 6.54g of acetone ?
trapecia [35]

8.3mL

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of acetone = 6.54g

Density of acetone = 0.7857 g/mL

Unknown:

Volume of acetone = ?

Solution:

Density is defined as the mass per unit volume of a substance. It is expressed mathematically as shown below:

  Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}

Since the unknown is volume, we make it the subject of the formula

Volume =  \frac{mass}{density}

Input the values;

  Volume = \frac{6.54}{0.7857} = 8.3mL

How many moles of HCl are present in 0.70 L of a 0.63 M HCl solution?
eimsori [14]
So the molarity equation is moles of solute/liters of solution. so i’m pretty sure the answer should be 0.63/0.70= .9
