Answer:

2K +F₂→ 2KF

Explanation:

When we balance an equation, we are trying to ensure that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the arrow.

On the left side of the arrow, there is 1 K atom and 2 F atoms. On the right, there is 1 K and 1 F atom.

Since the number of K atoms is currently balanced, balance the number of F atoms.

K +F₂→ 2KF

Now, that the number of F atoms is balanced on both sides, check if the number of K atoms are balanced.

Left

K atoms: 1

F atoms: 2

Right

K atoms: 2

F atoms: 2

The number of K atoms is not balanced.

2K +F₂→ 2KF

Left

K atoms: 2

F atoms: 2

Right

K atoms: 2

F atoms: 2

The equation is now balanced.

A solution contains 6.21 g of ethylene glycol dissolved in 25.0 g of water. If water has a boiling point elevation constant of 0

timurjin [86]

Calculate first the number of moles of ethylene glycol by dividing the mass by the molar mass.
n = (6.21 g ethylene glycol) / 62.1 g/mol
n = 0.1 mol
Then, calculate the molality by dividing the number of moles by the mass of water (in kg).
m = 0.1 mol/ (0.025 kg) = 4m
Then, use the equation,
Tb,f = Tb,i + (kb)(m)
Substituting the known values,
Tb,f = 100°C + (0.512°C.kg/mol)(4 mol/kg)
Tb,f = 102.048°C

An ideal gas (C}R), flowing at 4 kmol/h, expands isothermally at 475 Kfrom 100 to 50 kPa through a rigid device. If the power pr

Zina [86]

Answer: The rate of heat flow is 3.038 kW and the rate of lost work is 1.038 kW.

Explanation:

We are given:

$C_p=\frac{7}{2}R\\\\T=475K\\P_1=100kPa\\P_2=50kPa$

Rate of flow of ideal gas , n = 4 kmol/hr = $\frac{4\times 1000mol}{3600s}=1.11mol/s$ (Conversion factors used: 1 kmol = 1000 mol; 1 hr = 3600 s)

Power produced = 2000 W = 2 kW (Conversion factor: 1 kW = 1000 W)

We know that:

$\Delta U=0$ (For isothermal process)

So, by applying first law of thermodynamics:

$\Delta U=\Delta q-\Delta W$

$\Delta q=\Delta W$ .......(1)

Now, calculating the work done for isothermal process, we use the equation:

$\Delta W=nRT\ln (\frac{P_1}{P_2})$

where,

$\Delta W$ = change in work done

n = number of moles = 1.11 mol/s

R = Gas constant = 8.314 J/mol.K

T = temperature = 475 K

$P_1$ = initial pressure = 100 kPa

$P_2$ = final pressure = 50 kPa

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta W=1.11mol/s\times 8.314J\times 475K\times \ln (\frac{100}{50})\\\\\Delta W=3038.45J/s=3.038kJ/s=3.038kW$

Calculating the heat flow, we use equation 1, we get:

[ex]\Delta q=3.038kW[/tex]

Now, calculating the rate of lost work, we use the equation:

$\text{Rate of lost work}=\Delta W-\text{Power produced}\\\\\text{Rate of lost work}=(3.038-2)kW\\\text{Rate of lost work}=1.038kW$

Hence, the rate of heat flow is 3.038 kW and the rate of lost work is 1.038 kW.

What is the term for the smallest bit into which a chemical substance can be divided and still have the properties of that subst

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Molecule

Explanation:

molecule of the substance. You can break the molecule down further, into the atoms that make it up, but those don't have the properties of the original 'compound'.

Here's an example:

-- Sodium is a soft, slippery metal, that explodes when water touches it.

-- Chlorine is a poisonous green gas.

When an atom of Sodium and an atom of Chlorine combine, they make one molecule of a substance called "Sodium Chloride". That's SALT ! It isn't green, it isn't a gas, it isn't poisonous, it isn't soft and slippery, and it doesn't explode when water touches it.
