Chemistry
1 answer:
Fynjy0 [20]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: A cold compress used by  athletes is an endothermic reaction.

Explanation:

A pack of cold compress used by athletes contains water that holds another bag or tube inside it which is filled with ammonium nitrate fertilizer.

So, on hitting the cold compress the tube breaks down due to which fertilizer gets mixed with water. This mixture absorbs the heat when placed on the area of body having pain, strain or bump.

As a result, we tend to feel cold at the affected area of our body.

Thus, we can conclude that a cold compress used by  athletes is an endothermic reaction.

A 12.82 g sample of a compound contains 4.09 g potassium (K), 3.71 g chlorine (Cl), and oxygen (O). Calculate the empirical form
Rina8888 [55]
The  empirical  formula of the  compound is  calculated  as  follows

first   calculate  the  mass  of  oxygen=  12-(4.09  +3.71)=  5.02g

then  calculate  the  moles  of  each  element,  moles  =  mass/  molar  mass

moles of   K  =  4.09g/39 g/mol(molar  mass  of K)  =  0.105  moles
moles  of Cl = 3.71g/35.5 g/mol(molar  mass  of Cl) =  0.105  moles
moles of  O  =  5.02g/ 16g/mol(molar  mass of  O) = 0.314  moles

then  calculate e  mole ratio by  dividing  each  mole  by  the  smallest  number  of  moles  (  0.105 moles)

K=0.105/0.105= 1
Cl=0.105 /0.105=1
O=  0.314/0.105=3

therefore  the  empirical   formula  = KClO3

Why does a transformer require AC rather than DC?
LuckyWell [14K]
So if the voltage in case of DC<span> is same as </span>AC<span>, </span>then DC<span> current is larger </span>than AC<span>current. A </span>transformer<span> works on the principle of electromagnetic induction. It means that the change in magnetic flux across a coil induces a potential difference across the same.

Hope this sorta helps! I'm new to this!</span>

1What is ""Fremy's salt""? Write the molecular formula of Fremy's salt. Write the structure of the product obtained from phenol.
EastWind [94]

Answer and Explanation:

The Fremy salt is a chemical compound its chemical name is disodium nitrosodisuphonate

The molecular formula of the Fremy salt is K_2NO(SO_3)_2

When phenol is treated with Fremy salt in presence of water then benzoquinone is formed

C_2H_5OH\rightarrow C_6H_4O_2 ( in presence of Fremy salt and water)
