The opposite of a condensation reaction that releases a water molecule is called a hydrolysis reaction. This happens when one molecule is split into two via the addition of a water molecule.
Hope this helped!!

Answer:

A condensation reaction is a class of organic addition reaction that typically proceeds in a step-wise fashion to produce the addition product, usually in equilibrium, and a water molecule.Hydrolysis is any chemical reaction in which a molecule of water ruptures one or more chemical bonds.

Different:

A condensation reaction that occurs between two separate molecules is called intermolecular condensation. ... The opposite of a condensation reaction that releases a water molecule is called a hydrolysis reaction. This happens when one molecule is split into two via the addition of a water molecule.

Do wind up clocks need batteries? -like the non wired ones.

Sphinxa [80]

No, why? Cause if you're winding up the clock it's basically doing what it needs to do. So there's no need for batteries.. I hope my sad sentence make sense :p

What can be said about a reaction with H = 62.4 kJ/mol and S = 0.145 kJ/(mol·K)?

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

At 430.34 K the reaction will be at equilibrium, at T > 430.34 the reaction will be spontaneous, and at T < 430.4K the reaction will not occur spontaneously.

Explanation:

1) Variables:

G = Gibbs energy
H = enthalpy
S = entropy

2) Formula (definition)

G = H + TS

=> ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

3) conditions

ΔG < 0 => spontaneous reaction
ΔG = 0 => equilibrium
ΔG > 0 non espontaneous reaction

4) Assuming the data given correspond to ΔH and ΔS

ΔG = ΔH - T ΔS = 62.4 kJ/mol + T 0.145 kJ / mol * K

=> T = [ΔH - ΔG] / ΔS

ΔG = 0 => T = [ 62.4 kJ/mol - 0 ] / 0.145 kJ/mol*K = 430.34K

This is, at 430.34 K the reaction will be at equilibrium, at T > 430.34 the reaction will be spontaneous, and at T < 430.4K the reaction will not occur spontaneously.

Planets close to a star will have __ orbital velocities than planets farther from a star.

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

The closer a planet is to the Sun, the stronger the Sun's gravitational pull on it, and the faster the planet moves. The farther it is from the Sun, the weaker the Sun's gravitational pull, and the slower it moves in its orbit.

Determine the limiting reactant (lr) and the mass (in g) of nitrogen that can be formed from 50.0 g n2o4 and 45.0 g n2h4. some p

Licemer1 [7]

N2O4(l) + 2 N2H4(l) → 3 N2(g) + 4 H2O(g)
1) to calculate the limiting reactant you need to pass grams to moles.
 moles is calculated by dividing mass by molar mass

mass of N2O4: 50.0 g
molar mass of N2O4 = 92.02 g/mol
molar mass of N2H4 = 32.05 g/mol.
mass of N2H4:45.0 g

moles N2O4=50.0/92.02 g/mol= 0,54 mol of N2O4
moles N2H4= 45/32.05 g/mol= 1,40 mol of N2H4

 2)
By looking at the balanced equation, you can see that 1 mol of N2O4 needs 2 moles of N2H4 to fully react . So to react 0,54 moles of N2O4, you need 2x0,54 moles of N2H4 moles
N2H4 needed = 1,08 moles.
You have more that 1,08 moles N2H4, so this means the limiting reagent is not N2H4, it's N2O4. The molecule that has molecules that are left is never the limiting reactant.

3) 1 mol of N2O4 reacting, will produce 3 mol of N2 (look at the equation)
There are 0,54 mol of N2O4 available to react, so how many moles will produce of N2?
1 mol N2O4------------3 mol of N2
0,54 mol N2O4--------x
x=1,62 mol of N2

4) the only thing left to do is convert the moles obtained, to grams.
We use the same formula as before, moles equal to mass divided by molar mass.
$moles= \frac{grams}{molar mass}$ (molar mass of N2= 28)
1,62 mol of N2= mass/ 28
mass of N2= 45,36 grams

Combustion of hydrocarbons such as undecane (_____) produces carbon dioxide, a "greenhouse gas." Greenhouse gases in the Earth's

____ [38]

Answer: Undecane, C11H24 is a liquid hydrocarbon from the alkane homologue ( family ).

Explanation:

All hydrocarbons burn in air to release H20 and CO2.

Combustion of hydrocarbons thus increases the percentage of CO2 present in the atmosphere which is not so good as CO2 is a greenhouse gas. Greenhouse gases produce the greenhouse effect. The green house effect is the warming effect produced when gases present in the atmosphere allow and retain the radiation from the sun to the earth. Examples of greenhouse gases are CO2, CH4, SO3, NO, CFCs. The greenhouse effect leads to an increase in the temperature of the earth subsequently leading to (I) melting of large amounts of ice at the poles causing flooding. (II) rapid evaporation of water from Earth’s surface. (III) decrease in crop yield.

Also, high concentration CFCs ( chlorofluorocarbons ), as widely used in aerosols, coolants and packaging foams, in the atmosphere depletes the ozone layer leading to global warming. In 1996 an international agreement was reached for a complete ban of CFCs and more countries are now going Green ( using alternative energy sources ) so as to minimize emissions of these greenhouse gases
