Read this excerpt from Emerson’s essay “Self-Reliance” and decide whether it is biased. Explain your answer as well as what you

can conclude from this excerpt.
To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men,—that is genius. . . Familiar as the voice of the mind is to each, the highest merit we ascribeto assign; credit to Moses, Plato, and Milton is, that they set at naughtnone; no books and traditions, and spoke not what men, but what they thought. A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within. . . . Yet he dismisses without notice his thought, because it is his. In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts: they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty.

Answer:

In this excerpt, Emerson is in favor of, and stresses the importance of, individual intellect and moral development. He urges readers to look within—into their inner selves to seek inspiration and attain self-reliance rather than imitating others or adopting age-old ideas, which society has practiced over time. He uses examples of great thinkers such as Moses, Milton, and Plato, who thought for themselves and didn’t let society and established ideas influence them. Emerson further stresses that people should not dismiss their own ideas, only to discover them in others’ works, but learn to nurture and accept their potential. When people are able to accept and trust their own thoughts, they will be able to come up with ideas as brilliant and original as those of any wise man.

Explanation:

• 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.

Hydrogen sulfide decomposes according to the following reaction: 2H2S(g) ⇋ 2H2(g) + S2(g) Kc=9.30x10-8 at 700.°C.If 0.45 mol of
Natalija [7]

Answer:

[H₂] = 1.61x10⁻³ M

Explanation:

2H₂S(g) ⇋ 2H₂(g) + S₂(g)

Kc = 9.30x10⁻⁸ = \frac{[H_{2}]^2[S_{2}]}{[H_{2}S]^2}

First we <u>calculate the initial concentration</u>:

0.45 molH₂S / 3.0L = 0.15 M

The concentrations at equilibrium would be:

[H₂S] = 0.15 - 2x

[H₂] = 2x

[S₂] = x

We <u>put the data in the Kc expression and solve for x</u>:

\frac{(2x^2) * x}{(0.15-2x)^2}=9.30x10^{-8}

\frac{4x^3}{0.0225-4x^2}=9.30*10^{-8}

We make a simplification because x<<< 0.0225:

\frac{4x^3}{0.0225} =9.30*10^{-8}

x = 8.058x10⁻⁴

[H₂] = 2*x = 1.61x10⁻³ M

If 10.0 moles of sulfur dioxide react with excess chlorine gas, what is the theoretical yield (in grams) of CI2O produced?
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

869 g Cl₂O

Explanation:

To find the theoretical yield of Cl₂O, you need to (1) convert moles SO₂ to moles Cl₂O (via mole-to-mole ratio from reaction coefficients) and then (2) convert moles Cl₂O to grams Cl₂O (via molar mass). It is important to arrange the conversions/ratios in a way that allows for the cancellation of units (the desired unit should be in the numerator). The final answer should have 3 sig figs to reflect the sig figs of the given amount (10.0 moles).

1 SO₂ (g) + 2 Cl₂ (g) ----> 1 SOCl₂ (g) + 1 Cl₂O (g)

Molar Mass (Cl₂O): 2(35.453 g/mol) + 15.998 g/mol

Molar Mass (Cl₂O): 86.904 g/mol

10.0 moles SO₂         1 mole Cl₂O            86.904 g
------------------------  x  ----------------------  x  ------------------  = 869 g Cl₂O
                                    1 mole SO₂              1 mole
