Answer:
Catalyst
Explanation:
A general term for a chemical which accelerates a reaction without becoming chemically involved is called a catalyst.
Catalysts are used in industrial processes to speed up the rate of a chemical reaction. For instance, in the Contact process used in the production of sulphuric (vi) acid, vanadium(V) oxide (V2O5) is used as a catalyst to speed up the production of the acid. Vanadium(V) oxide (V2O5) is preferred to Platinum which was initially used as the catalyst since it does not react with any of the products of the process
Q1)
We have been given the OH⁻ concentration, therefore we first need to find the pOH value and then the pH value.
pOH = -log [OH⁻]
pOH = -log (0.225 M)
pOH = 0.65
pH + pOH = 14
pH = 14 - 0.65 = 13.35
Q2)
pOH = -log[OH⁻]
pOH = -log (0.0015 M)
pOH = 2.82
pH + pOH = 14
pH = 14 - 2.82
pH = 11.18
In order to make the dissolution of the solid compound in water to occur at a faster rate, Samuel could do the following:
1. Break down the solid into tiny particles: breaking down the solid into tiny particles increases the surface area of the solid and thus increase the quantity of the substance that comes in contact with the solvent per time, this leads to a faster dissolution of the solid.
2. Stir the liquid with iron rod: Samuel can increase the dissolution rate of the substance by stirring it continuously with iron rod.
3. Increasing the temperature:Samuel could also increase the rate of dissolution of the substance by increasing the temperature of the water.
Answer:
Explanation:
Heat required to convert ice to ice at 0⁰C
= mass x specific heat x rise in temperature
= 18 x 2.09 x 20
= 752.4 J .
heat required to convert ice at 0⁰C to water at 0⁰C
mass x latent heat of fusion
= 18 x 336
= 6048 J
Heat required to increase the temperature of water to 100⁰C
= 18 x 4.2 x 100
= 7560 J
Total heat required
7560 + 6048 + 752.4
= 14360.4 J
Answer:
With billions of moving particles colliding into each other, an area of high energy will slowly transfer across the material until thermal equilibrium is reached (the temperature is the same across the material).
