How many moles are in 0.296 grams of gold?

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

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

The second run will be faster - true, the increased surface area of catalyst will increase the rate of reaction

The second run will have the same rate as the first - possible, in case there is a factor other than catalyst limiting the reaction

The second run has twice the surface area - yes, 44 sqcm to 22 sqcm

Explanation:

A catalyst is a material which speeds up a reaction without being consumed in the process. A heterogeneous catalyst is one which is of a different phase than the reactants. The effectiveness of a catalyst is dependent on the available surface area. The first step for this question is to determine the total available surface area of catalyst in both processes.

Step 1: Determine radius of large sphere

$V_{L}=\frac{4}{3}*pi*{r_{L}}^{3}$

$10=\frac{4}{3}*pi*{r_{L}}^{3}$

${r_{L}}^{3}=\frac{7.5}{pi}$

$r_{L}=1.337cm$

Step 2: Determine surface area of large sphere

$A_{L}=4*pi*{r_{L}}^{2}$

$A_{L}=4*pi*1.337^{2}$

$A_{L}=22.463 cm^{2}$

Step 3: Determine radius of small sphere

$V_{s}=\frac{4}{3}*pi*{r_{s}}^{3}$

$1.25=\frac{4}{3}*pi*{r_{s}}^{3}$

${r_{s}}^{3}=\frac{0.9375}{pi}$

$r_{s}=0.668cm$

Step 4: Determine surface area of small sphere

$A_{s}=4*pi*{r_{s}}^{2}$

$A_{s}=4*pi*0.668^{2}$

$A_{s}=5.607 cm^{2}$

Step 5: Determine total surface area of 8 small spheres

$A_{S}=8*A_{s}$

$A_{S}=8*5.607$

$A_{S}=44.856 cm^{2}$

$A_{L}=22.463 cm^{2}$ - Surface area of 1 large sphere

$A_{S}=44.856 cm^{2}$ - Surface area of 8 small spheres

Options:

The second run will be faster - true, the increased surface area of catalyst will increase the rate of reaction
The second run will be slower - false, the increased surface area of catalyst will increase the rate of reaction
The second run will have the same rate as the first - possible, in case there is a factor other than catalyst limiting the reaction
The second run has twice the surface area - yes, 44 sqcm to 22 sqcm
The second run has eight times the surface area - no, 44 sqcm to 22 sqcm
The second run has 10 times the surface area - no, 44 sqcm to 22 sqcm

If i have a 50 L container that holds 45 moles of gas at a temperature of 473 K, what is the pressure inside the container?

Furkat [3]

Answer:

The pressure inside the container is 34.97 atm

Explanation:

Given:

V=50L R= 0.0821LatmK^-1mol^-1

n= 45mol T= 473k

PV=nRT

P= nRT/V

= 45mol*0.0821Latmmol^-1K^-1*473K/ 50L

=34.95atm

Why do atoms of elements take part in chemical reaction?

Marina CMI [18]

Explanation:

During a chemical reaction, the atoms of the original substances gain, lose or share their electrons with those of the substances with which they are reacting. The reaction creates new substances made up of a new combination of atoms and a different configuration of electrons.
