Answer:

A

Explanation:

The correct answer would be that <u>the powdered magnesium reacts faster because it has a greater surface area</u>.

<em>The rate of reaction is defined as the rate of disappearance of the reactants in a reaction or the rate of conversion of appearance of products during a reaction. </em>

The rate of reaction is dependent on several factors such as the concentration of the reactants, temperature of the reaction, nature of reactants, and the presence or absence of catalysts during the reaction.

As far as the nature of reactants is concerned, the surface area of reactants comes into play. <em>Reactants with higher surface areas react faster than reactants with lesser surface areas</em>. Hence, powdery reactants react faster than solid reactants because the latter has a higher surface area than the former.

The correct option is A.

Does the model below represent a mixture or a substance ?
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

substance

Explanation:

A mixture is when two or more <u>different</u> atoms/molecules are together, but not joined.

A substance is when the <u>same </u>atom/molecule is in a group together.

In this example, it is a substance because it is comprised of the same molecule not joined all together. If you wanted a mixture, other colored atoms/molecule (e.g. add green atoms) would change it to this property.

Convert 213.62 grams of xenon gas at STP to L.
jolli1 [7]

Answer: The coefficient is 3.645

The exponent is 1

There are 4 significant digits

The rightmost significant figure is 5

Explanation:

Scientific notation is defined as the representation of expressing the numbers that are too big or too small and are represented in the decimal form with one digit before the decimal point times 10 raise to the power.

For example : 5000 is written as 5.0\times 10^3

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every gas contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles, occupy 22.4 L at STP and weighs equal to its molecular mass.

131.29 g of Xe occupy = 22.4 L at STP.

Thus 213.62 g of Xe occupy = \frac{22.4}{131.29}\times 213.62=36.45L at STP.

Scientific notation = 3.645\times 10^1L

The coefficient is 3.645

The exponent is 1

There are 4 significant digits

The rightmost significant figure is 5

If the length of a string increases 2 times but the mass of the string remains constant, the new density of the string will equa
Genrish500 [490]

If the length of a string increases 2 times but the mass of the string remains constant, the original density  will be multiplied by a factor  mathematically given as

v=1.414 times

<h3>Will the new density of the string equal the original density multiplied by what factor?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the  volume is mathematically given as

v = sqt(TL/m)

Where

density = mass/length

Therefore

v2/v1 = \sqrt{L2/L1}

v2/v1 = \sqrt{2}

In conclusion,v ratio will give us

v=1.414 times

Assuming that a tank of gasoline contains 80 liters and that its density is 0.77 kg/liter, determine how many kg of co2 are prod
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer: -

If a tank of gasoline contains 80 liters and that its density is 0.77 kg/liter, 0.26 kg of CO₂ are produced for each tank of gasoline burned.

Explanation: -

Density of the gasoline = 0.77 kg / liter

Volume of the tank containing the gasoline = 80 liter.

Mass of gasoline produced from each tank

= Volume of the tank containing the gasoline x Density of the gasoline

= \frac{0.77 kg}{1 liter} x 80 liter

= 61.6 kg

Chemical formula of gasoline = C₈H₁₈

Molar mass of gasoline C₈H₁₈ = 12 x 8 + 1 x 18 = 114 g/ mol

Number of moles of C₈H₁₈ = \frac{61.6 g}{114 g} x 1 mol

= 0.54 mol of C₈H₁₈

The chemical equation for the burning of gasoline is

2 C₈H₁₈ + 25 O₂ → 16 CO₂ + 18 H₂O

From the balanced equation we see

2 mol of C₈H₁₈ gives 16 mol of CO₂

0.54 mol of C₈H₁₈ gives \frac{16 mol CO2 x 0.54 mol C8H18}{2 mol C8H18} mol of CO₂

= 4.32 mol of CO₂

Molar mass of CO₂ = 12 x 1 + 16 x 3 =60 g / mol

Mass of CO₂ = Molar mass of CO₂ x Number of moles of CO₂

=\frac{60g x 4.32 mol}{1 mol}

= 259.2 g

= \frac{259.2}{1000}

= 0.259 Kg

= 0.26 kg rounded off to 2 significant figures.

Thus if a tank of gasoline contains 80 liters and that its density is 0.77 kg/liter, 0.26 kg of CO₂ are produced for each tank of gasoline burned.
