Answer: B
Explanation:
At equilibrium, the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction, and thus the concentrations of the reactants and products must be constant.
Answer:
The amount of energy liberated will be 49.38 J.
Explanation:
The amount of energy liberated (gibbs free energy) can be calculated using the following equation:
ΔG° = -nFε
n: amount of moles of electrons transfered
F: Faraday's constant
ε: cell potential
20.0 g of Zn is equal to 0.30 mol.
Two electrons are transfered during the reaction.
Therefore, n = 2x0.30 ∴ n = 0.60
ΔG° = - 0.60 x 96.485 x 0.853
ΔG° = 49.38 J
Answer:
True statment
2) Styrofoam would make a good calorimeter
3) Insulating material would make a good calorimeter
Explanation:
The calorimeter is one which is insulated that is which will not absorb or let the heat to escape from it. the calorimeter is used to measure the heat change during a process so if it will allow to exchange heat with surrounding it will deviate the readings or observence.
Copper is a good conductor of heat so we cannot use it make a calorimeter.
Hence
1) Copper would make a good calorimeter : False
2) Styrofoam would make a good calorimeter: True
Styrofoam is a bad conductor or insulator so it can be and it is used for calorimeter.
3) Insulating material would make a good calorimeter
: True
4) A good calorimeter should easily absorb heat : false
We will assume that the only reactants are x and y and that the only product is xy.
Based on the law of mass conservation, mass is an isolated system that can neither be created nor destroyed.
Applying this concept to the chemical reaction, we will find that the total mass of the reactants must be equal to the total mass of the products,
therefore:
mass of x + mass of y = mass of xy
12.2 + mass of y = 78.9
mass of y = 78.9 - 12.2 = 66.7 grams
