Answer:
Catalyst
Explanation:
A general term for a chemical which accelerates a reaction without becoming chemically involved is called a catalyst.
Catalysts are used in industrial processes to speed up the rate of a chemical reaction. For instance, in the Contact process used in the production of sulphuric (vi) acid, vanadium(V) oxide (V2O5) is used as a catalyst to speed up the production of the acid. Vanadium(V) oxide (V2O5) is preferred to Platinum which was initially used as the catalyst since it does not react with any of the products of the process
We know that the element Z = 119 would be placed right below the Fr, in the column of the alcaline metals.
We also know that the trend in the electronegativity is to decrease when you go up-down ia group.
The known electronegativities of the elements of this group are:
Li: 0.98
Na: 0.93
K: 0.82
Rb: 0.82
Cs: 0.79
Fr: 0.70
Then the hypotetical element Z = 119 would probably have an electronegativity slightly below 0.70, for sure in the range 0.60 - 0.70.
The kinda of energy the involves the flow of positive charge is Electrical
We write DE = q+w, where DE is the internal energy change and q and w are heat and work, respectively.
(b)Under what conditions will the quantities q and w be negative numbers?
q is negative when heat flows from the system to the surroundings, and w is negative when the system does work on the surroundings.
As an aside: In applying the first law, do we need to measure the internal energy of a system? Explain.
The absolute internal energy of a system cannot be measured, at least in any practical sense. The internal energy encompasses the kinetic energy of all moving particles in the system, including subatomic particles, as well as the electrostatic potential energies between all these particles. We can measure the change in internal energy (DE) as the result of a chemical or physical change, but we cannot determine the absolute internal energy of either the initial or the final state. The first law allows us to calculate the change in internal energy during a transformation by calculating the heat and work exchanged between the system and its surroundings.
