Which of the following statements explains why fossil fuels are nonrenewable resources

Ben observes how quickly some dry wood is burning in a campfire. which term best relates to ben's observation?

Katyanochek1 [597]

I think this the the list of choices relating to the above question.
reaction rate
activation energy 
collision theory 
spontaneous reaction

The term that best relate to ben's observation is REACTION RATE.

Reaction rate is defined as the speed at which the chemical reaction proceeds. It either is the amount of concentration of a product in a given unit of time or the concentration of the reactant that is being consumed in a unit of time.

What can be added to an atom to cause a nonvalence electron in the atom to temporarily become a valence electron?

vazorg [7]

Answer:

What can be added to an atom to cause a nonvalence electron in the atom to temporarily become a valence electron is energy.

Explanation:

The normal state of the atoms, where all the electrons are occupying the lowest possible energy level, is called ground state.

The valence electrons are the electrons that occupy the outermost shell, this is the electrons in the highest main energy level (principal quantum number) of the atom.

So, a nonvalence electron occupies an orbital with less energy than what a valence electron does; in consequence, in order to a nonvalence electron jump from its lower energy level to the higher energy level of a valence electron, the former has to absorb (gain) energy.

This new state is called excited state and is temporary: the electron promoted to the higher energy level will emit the excess energy, in the form of light (photons), to come back to the lower energy level and so the atom return to the ground state.

The vapor pressure of water is 1.00 atm at 373 K, and the enthalpy of vaporization is 40.68 kJ mol!. Estimate the vapor pressure

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

The vapor pressure at temperature 363 K is 0.6970 atm

The vapor pressure at 383 K is 1.410 atm

Explanation:

To calculate $\Delta H_{vap}$ of the reaction, we use clausius claypron equation, which is:

$\ln(\frac{P_2}{P_1})=\frac{\Delta H_{vap}}{R}[\frac{1}{T_1}-\frac{1}{T_2}]$

where,

$P_1$ = vapor pressure at temperature $T_1$

$P_2$ = vapor pressure at temperature $T_2$

$\Delta H_{vap}$ = Enthalpy of vaporization

R = Gas constant = 8.314 J/mol K

1) $\Delta H_{vap}=40.68 kJ/mol=40680 J/mol$

$T_1$ = initial temperature =363 K

$T_2$ = final temperature =373 K

$P_2=1 atm, P_1=?$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\ln(\frac{1 atm}{P_1})=\frac{40680 J/mol}{8.314J/mol.K}[\frac{1}{363}-\frac{1}{373}]$

$P_1=0.69671 atm \approx 0.6970 atm$

The vapor pressure at temperature 363 K is 0.6970 atm

2) $\Delta H_{vap}=40.68 kJ/mol=40680 J/mol$

$T_1$ = initial temperature =373 K

$T_2$ = final temperature =383 K

$P_1=1 atm, P_2?$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\ln(\frac{P_2}{1 atm})=\frac{40680 J/mol}{8.314J/mol.K}[\frac{1}{373}-\frac{1}{383}]$

$P_2=1.4084 atm \approx 1.410 atm$

The vapor pressure at 383 K is 1.410 atm

Which substance is a binary acid

Bumek [7]

It is known that acids compounds contains hydrogen and produces hydrogen ion in water. A binary acid however is an acid that have two elements, one of the element has a hydrogen attached to it. Examples of binary acids are hydrogen fluoride (HF), hydrogen bromide (HBr) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S). In naming a binary acid, it has two rules; one, as pure compounds and two, as acid solutions. For pure compounds, start with the name ‘hydrogen’ and end the anion name with ‘-ide’. For acidic compounds, start with ‘hydro-‘, end the anion with ‘-ic’ and add ‘acid’.
