 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.

a vehicle accelerates with 0.4 m/s. calculate tue time taken by the vehicle to increase its speed from 20m/s to 40m/s.​
Grace [21]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{\sf t = 50 \ seconds}

Explanation:

<h3><u>Given data:</u></h3>

Acceleration = a = 0.4 m/s²

Initial Speed = V_i = 20 m/s

Final Speed = V_f = 40 m/s

<h3><u>Required:</u></h3>

Time = t = ?

<h3><u>Formula:</u></h3>

\displaystyle a =\frac{V_f-V_i}{t}

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Rearranging formula for t

\displaystyle t =\frac{V_f-V_i}{a} \\\\t = \frac{40-20}{0.4} \\\\t = \frac{20}{0.4} \\\\\boxed{t = 50 \ seconds}\\\\\rule[225]{225}{2}

Elle wanted to test how temperature affects the rate of evaporation. She had three setups:
Pie

Answer:

Temperature

Explanation:

Here the factor that Elle is controlling is the temperature. So temperature here is the independent variable and the dependent variable is the rate of evaporation of water.  Independent variable is controlled during the experiment setup and the outcome of the dependent variable depends on the independent variable.

How do the valence electrons of an element determine how they will combine with other elements to produce a compound? Please hel
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The valence electrons are electrons found on the valence (outermost) shell of an atom.

When an atoms form compounds, there is an exchange of valence electrons between the atoms of one element and the atoms of another element.

Let us consider a typical example, sodium has one valence electron and chlorine has seven valence electrons. This means that chlorine needs one electron to complete its octet while sodium needs to release one electron in order to attain the octet structure.

So, sodium gives out its one electron and becomes a stable sodium ion and chlorine accepts that electron and becomes a stable chloride ion. This is how the compound sodium chloride is formed.
