Explanation:

use the term electron sheilding, the more electrons between the valence el3ctron and nucleus the easier to lose the valence electron (more sheilding = easier to lose)

• Before the balloon was placed inside the hot water, the pressure was the same inside and outside the balloon. The hot water raised the kinetic energy of the air molecules inside the balloon, expanding the balloon, through thermal expansion.

• (1) the pressure of air inside the balloon increased, (2) the volume of the inside of the balloon increased as well, and (3) the temperature of the balloon increased. Note that pressure and volume are inversely proportional, and pressure and temperature are directly proportional. Therefore as the temperature increases, the pressure inside will increase, causing an increase in the volume. At a certain point though the volume will increase too much as to cause a significant decrease in pressure.

• The air molecules will gain kinetic energy, hence (1) increasing the molecules's speed, and (2) heating the air molecules.

Determine the rate law, including the values of the orders and rate law constant, for the following reaction using the experimen

olga55 [171]

Answer: Rate law= $k[A]^1[B]^2$ , order with respect to A is 1, order with respect to B is 2 and total order is 3. Rate law constant is $3L^2mol^{-2}s^{-1}$

Explanation: Rate law says that rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactants each raised to a stoichiometric coefficient determined experimentally called as order.

$Rate=k[A]^x[B]^y$

k= rate constant

x = order with respect to A

y = order with respect to A

n = x+y = Total order

a) From trial 1: $1.2\times 10^{-2}=k[0.10]^x[0.20]^y$ (1)

From trial 2: $4.8\times 10^{-2}=k[0.10]^x[0.40]^y$ (2)

Dividing 2 by 1 : $\frac{4.8\times 10^{-2}}{1.2\times 10^{-2}}=\frac{k[0.10]^x[0.40]^y}{k[0.10]^x[0.20]^y}$

$4=2^y,2^2=2^y$ therefore y=2.

b) From trial 2: $4.8\times 10^{-2}=k[0.10]^x[0.40]^y$ (3)

From trial 3: $9.6\times 10^{-2}=k[0.20]^x[0.40]^y$ (4)

Dividing 4 by 3: $\frac{9.6\times 10^{-2}}{4.8\times 10^{-2}}=\frac{k[0.20]^x[0.40]^y}{k[0.10]^x[0.40]^y}$

$2=2^x,2=2^1$ , x=1

Thus rate law is $Rate=k[A]^1[B]^2$

Thus order with respect to A is 1 , order with respect to B is 2 and total order is 1+2=3.

c) For calculating k:

Using trial 1: $1.2\times 10^{-2}=k[0.10]^1[0.20]^2$

$k=3 L^2mol^{-2}s^{-1}$ .

What makes up the human body? (A)many different gases (B)carbon dioxide (D)many cells (C) minerals

never [62]

Answer:

<em></em> $(B) Carbon Dioxide$ <em></em>

Explanation:

Roughly 96 percent of the mass of the human body is made up of just four elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen, with a lot of that in the form of water. The remaining 4 percent is a sparse sampling of the periodic table of elements

Hope this helps :)
