It would be endothermic because the log is in the system.

starting with methane ,name all the steps and write the equations involved in tetrachlorination.Remember all arrows sharing move

anygoal [31]

Answer:

See Explanation and image attached

Explanation:

Methane is an alkane. The commonest chemical reaction that alkanes undergo is substitution. During a substitution reaction, one or more atoms of hydrogen is/are replaced in the alkane.

In methane, in the presence of sunlight and molecular chlorine gas, a homolytic fission of Cl2 occurs to yield chlorine radicals in an initiation step.

The propagation steps involve reaction of the methane with chlorine radicals. Certain intermediates continue to be formed along the way until the tetrachlorination product is finally obtained.

A steel tank contains carbon dioxide at a pressure of 13.0 atm when the temperature is 34oC. What will be the internal gas press

morpeh [17]

Answer:

D. 15.8atm

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial pressure = 13atm

Initial temperature = 34°C = 34 + 273 = 307K

Final temperature = 100°C = 100 + 273 = 373K

Unknown:

Final pressure = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we apply a derivation of the combined gas law taking the volume as a constant.

The expression is shown mathematically below;

$\frac{P_{1} }{T_{1} }$ = $\frac{P_{2} }{T_{2} }$

P and T pressure and temperature values

1 and 2 are initial and final states

Insert the parameters and solve for T₂;

$\frac{13}{307}$ = $\frac{P_{2} }{373}$

P₂ = 15.8atm

In a certain industrial process involving a heterogeneous catalyst, the volume of the catalyst (in the shape of a sphere) is 10.

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

a. The second run will be faster.

d. The second run has twice the surface area.

Explanation:

The rate of a reaction is proportional to the surface area of a catalyst. Given the volume (V) of a sphere, we can find its surface area (A) using the following expression.

$A=\pi ^{1/3} (6V)^{2/3}$

The area of the 10.0 cm³-sphere is:

$A=\pi ^{1/3} (6.10.0)^{2/3}=22.4cm^{2}$

The area of each 1.25 cm³-sphere is:

$A=\pi ^{1/3} (6. 1.25)^{2/3}=5.61cm^{2}$

The total area of the 8 1.25cm³-spheres is 8 × 5.61 cm² = 44.9 cm²

The ratio of 8 1.25cm³-sphere to 10.0 cm³-sphere is 44.9 cm²/22.4 cm² = 2.00

Since the surface area is doubled, the second run will be faster.
