Answer:
The empirical formula is, C4H4S
Explanation:
Number of moles of carbon = 1.119 g/ 44g/mol = 0.025 moles
Mass of Carbon= 0.025 moles × 12 g/ mole = 0.3 g
Number of moles of hydrogen = 0.229/18g/mol × 2 = 0.025 moles
Mass of hydrogen = 0.025 moles × 1 = 0.025 g
Number of moles of sulphur = 0.407g/ 64 g/mol = 0.0064 moles
Mass of sulphur= 0.0064 moles ×32 = 0.2 g
Now we obtain the mole ratios by dividing through by the lowest ratio.
C- 0.025 moles/ 0.0064 moles, H- 0.025 moles/ 0.0064 moles, S- 0.0064 moles/0.0064 moles
C4H4S
Answer:
A. releases a large amount of heat
Explanation:
A reaction is said to be spontaneous if it can proceed on its own without the addition of external energy. A spontaneous reaction is not determined by the length of time, because some spontaneous reactions are completed after a long period of time. They are exothermic in nature. An example is the conversion of graphite to carbon which takes a long period of time to complete. Spontaneous reactions are known to increase entropy in a system. Entropy is the rate of disorder in a system.
In the combustion of fire, energy is released to the surroundings as there is a decrease in energy. This is an example of a spontaneous reaction because it is an exothermic reaction, which causes an increase in entropy and a decrease in energy.
Question:
Sulfuric acid was once produced through the reaction of sulfur trioxide with water. Sulfur trioxide can form through the reaction of sulfur dioxide and oxygen gas. When nitrogen monoxide gas is added to the system, the reaction speeds up significantly because it proceeds through the following steps:
equations
Identify the catalyst in this reaction, explain how you know it is the catalyst, and describe how it increases the rate of the reaction.
Answer:
NO
It is present but not consumed
NO Lowers the activation energy of the reaction
Explanation:
A catalyst is a substance that is present in a chemical reaction and enables the reaction to occur at a faster rte but does not take part n the reaction
Therefore, whereby NO is not consumed, it is the catalyst
It functions by lowering the activation energy
