Which equation represents a spontaneous transmutation?ca(s) + 2h2o(ℓ) → ca(oh)2(aq) + h2(g)2kclo3(s) → 2kcl(s) + 3o2(g)?

1 answer:

5 0

Correct Answer: C<span>a(s) + 2H2O(ℓ) → Ca(OH)2(aq) + H2(g)

Reason:
A reaction (</span>transmutation) is said to be spontaneous if it occurs on it's own, without any external stimulus. For spontaneous reaction, change in free energy (ΔG) is negative.

Among the given reactions, Ca(s) + 2H2O(ℓ) → Ca(OH)2(aq) + H2(g) occurs on its own with supplying external energy. Hence, it is a spontaneous reaction. Further, it is an exothermic reaction. So during the reaction heat is given out by the system.

On other hand, reaction: <span>2KClO3(s) → 2KCl(s) + 3O2(g) is a decompostion reaction. For occurrence of reaction, heat has to be supplied to system. Hence, this reaction is non-spontaneous in nature. </span>

When a chemist titrates a standard solution of 168.61 mL of hydrochloric acid (HCl) with 0.104 M sodium hydroxide (NaOH) , she f

ch4aika [34]

The conc of NaOH is 0.104M which means that 1000mL solution contains 0.104mol of NaOH, so the amount of moles used in the titration will be
$\frac{0.104mol}{1000mL} * 259.4mL = 4.00* 10^{-7} mol$
The reaction of NaOH and HCl is one to one so the moles of HCl that were titrated will also be $4.00* 10^{-7} mol$
The Molarity is therefore
$\frac{4.00* 10^{-7} mol}{168.61 mL} * 1000mL = 2.38* 10^{-6} M$

A scientist conducts experiments to test what temperature causes the fastest growth rate in sunflower plantsafter multiple trial

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Repetition

Explanation:

In the world of science, experiments are regularly conducted to test out hypotheses. These experiments are however, not conducted by scientist once to derive a result. They are rather conducted multiple times (repeated) to ascertain the accuracy i.e not as a result of random occurrence. The experiments that undergo multiple trials are said to undergo REPETITION.

This is the case of the scientist in this question, who is conducting an experiment to test what temperature causes the fastest growth rate in sunflower plants. He conducted the experiment multiple times, making it an example of REPETITION.

N.B: Replication is when the experiment is re-conducted by another scientist to see if same result is derived.
