What is chemical weathering

Chemistry
1 answer:
natima [27]2 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

Chemical weathering is caused by rain water reacting with the mineral grains in rocks to form new minerals (clays) and soluble salts. These reactions occur particularly when the water is slightly acidic.

Phthalates used as plasticizers in rubber and plastic products are believed to act as hormone mimics in humans. The value of ΔHc
jeka94

Answer:

T_f = 25.05°C

Explanation:

Given:

the value of ΔHcomb (heat of combustion) for dimethylphthalate (C10H10O4) is = 4685 kJ/mol.

mass = 0.905g of dimethylphthalate

molar mass = 194.18g dimethylphthalate

number of moles of dimethylphthalate = ???

T_i = 21.5°C

C_{calorimeter} = 6.15 kJ/°C

T_f = ???

since we have our molar mass and mass of dimethylphthalate ;we can determine the number of moles as;

0.905g of dimethylphthalate ×  \frac{1 mole (dimethylphthalate)}{194.184g(dimethylphthalate)}

number of moles of dimethylphthalate = 0.000466 moles

Heat released = moles of dimethylphthalate × heat of combustion

=  0.000466 moles × 4685 kJ

= 21.84 kJ

∴ Heat absorbed by the calorimeter =  C_{calorimeter} (T_f-T_i} )

21.84 kJ =6.15 kJ/°C * (T_f-21,5^0C)

21.84 KJ = (6.15 kJ/^0C * T_f) - (6.15 kJ/^0C*21.5^0C)

21.84 KJ = (6.15 kJ/^0C * T_f) - 132.225 kJ

21.84 KJ + 132.225 kJ = (6.15 kJ/^0C * T_f)

154.065 kJ = (6.15 kJ/^0C * T_f)

T_f = \frac{154.065kJ}{6.15kJ/^0C}

T_f =25.05°C

What factors affect the dynamic state of equilibrium in a chemical reaction and how?
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

Only changes in temperature will influence the equilibrium constant K_c. The system will shift in response to certain external shocks. At the new equilibrium Q will still be equal to K_c, but the final concentrations will be different.

The question is asking for sources of the shocks that will influence the value of Q. For most reversible reactions:

  • External changes in the relative concentration of the products and reactants.

For some reversible reactions that involve gases:

  • Changes in pressure due to volume changes.

Catalysts do not influence the value of Q. See explanation.

Explanation:

\displaystyle K_c = {e}^{\Delta G/(R\cdot T)}.

Similar to the rate constant, the equilibrium constant K_c depends only on:

  • \Delta G the standard Gibbs energy change of the reaction, and
  • T the absolute temperature (in degrees Kelvins.)

The reversible reaction is in a dynamic equilibrium when the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the backward reaction. Reactants are constantly converted to products; products are constantly converted back to reactants. However, at equilibrium Q = K_c the two processes balance each other. The concentration of each species will stay the same.

Factors that alter the rate of one reaction more than the other will disrupt the equilibrium. These factors shall change the rate of successful collisions and hence the reaction rate.

  • Changes in concentration influence the number of particles per unit space.
  • Changes in temperature influence both the rate of collision and the percentage of particles with sufficient energy of reaction.

For reactions that involve gases,

  • Changing the volume of the container will change the concentration of gases and change the reaction rate.

However, there are cases where the number of gases particles on the reactant side and the product side are equal. Rates of the forward and backward reaction will change by the same extent. In such cases, there will not be a change in the final concentrations. Similarly, catalysts change the two rates by the same extent and will not change the final concentrations. Adding noble gases will also change the pressure. However, concentrations stay the same and the equilibrium position will not change.

EASY AS PIE AND I LIKE PIE

Calcium iodide (CaI2) is an ionic bond, which means that electrons are transferred.  In order for Ca to become the ion Ca2+, the calcium atom must lose 2 electrons. (Electrons have a negative charge, so when an atom loses 2 electrons, its ion becomes more positive.)  In order for I to become the ion I1−, the iodine atom must gain 1 electron. (When an atom gains an electron, its ion will be more negative.)  However, the formula for calcium iodide is CaI2 - there are 2 iodine ions present. This makes sense because the iodine ion has a charge of -1, so two iodine ions have to be present to cancel out the +2 charge of the calcium ion.  Therefore, the calcium atom transfers 2 valence electrons, one to each iodine atom, to form the ionic bond.

IF WRONG, SORRY
