Answer:

D. Malleability

Explanation:

Gold is made up of the element Au and it is a metal.

Pyrite is iron sulfide and it is a non-metal.

They have very similar appearance to such an extent that pyrite is widely called the fool's gold.
To distinguish between the two, we simply explore their metallic properties.
Gold is malleable. Pyrite is not. It will crumble under pressure.

As the temperature of a gas increases, _____. (select all the options that correctly complete the sentence.)

weeeeeb [17]

As the temperature of a gas increases, the average kinetic energy of the gas particles increases and the average speed of a gas particle increases.

According to the kinetic theory of gases, all gases are made of microscopic molecules that move in straight lines until they bump into another gas molecule or object. This transfer of energy causes molecules to move around faster and bump into each other more.

Kinetic energy is proportional to the speed of the molecules. As the speed of the colliding molecules increases, so does the total kinetic energy of all the gas molecules. It's pretty difficult to measure the speed of an individual gas molecule.

Instead, temperature can be used as a measure of the average kinetic energy of all the molecules in the gas. As the gas molecules gain energy and move faster, the temperature goes up. This is why Amy feels warmer!

To determine the average kinetic energy of gas molecules, we need to know the temperature of the gas, the universal gas constant (R), and Avogadro's number (NA).

Stearic acid (C18H36O2) is a fatty acid, a molecule with a long hydrocarbon chain and an organic acid group (COOH) at the end. I

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

There is 9671 Kj of heat released

Explanation:

Step 1: The balanced equation:

C18H36O2(s) + 26O2(g) --> 18CO2(g)+18H2O(g)

This means for 1 mole of C18H36O2 consumed there is 26 moles of O2 needed to produce 18 moles of CO2 and 18 moles of H2O.

Step 2: Calculate the heat of combustion

ΔH (combustion) = [18*(ΔHf of CO2) + 18*(ΔHf of H2O)] - [1*(ΔHf of C18H36O2) + 26*(ΔHf of O2)]

ΔH (combustion) = [18*(-394 kJ/mol) + 18*(-242 kJ/mol)] - [1*(-948 kJ/mol) + 26*(0 kJ/mol)]

ΔH (combustion) = [(-7092 kJ/mol) + (-4356 kJ/mol)] - (-948 kJ/mol)

= -10500 kJ/mol

ΔH (combustion) = heat released / number of moles of stearic acid

Step 3: Calculate moles of stearic acid

moles of stearic acid = mass / Molar mass of stearic acid

moles of stearic acid = 262g / 284.48 g/mole = 0.921 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of oxygen

moles of O2 = 914.5 / 32g/mole

moles of O2 = 28.578125 moles

Stearic acid is the limiting reactant: it will completely react

There will react 26*0.921 mole = 23.946 mole of O2

This means there will remain 4.63 moles of O2

Step 5: Calculate heat released

q = (ΔH combustion) * (moles of stearic acid) = (-10500 kJ/mol) * (0.921 moles) = 9671 Kj

There is 9671 Kj of heat released

In a chemical reaction 88g of CO2 was produced at r.t.p. Calculate the volume of CO2 in dm??

Tems11 [23]

Explanation:

$RFM = 44 \: g \\ 44g \: contain \: 1 \: mole \\ 88g \: will \: contain \: ( \frac{88}{44} \times 1) \\ = 2 \: moles \\ at \: room \: temperature \\ 1 \: mole \: occupies \: 24 \: {dm}^{3} \\ 2 \: moles \: occupies \: (2 \times 24) \\ = 48 \: {dm}^{3}$
