Answer: Originally viewed as a single event, the Taconic orogeny is now known to consist of at least three episodes. The first took place in the Early Ordovician Epoch near Maine and Newfoundland. The second was centred on eastern Tennessee in the Middle Ordovician Epoch.

For the following reaction if you have 13.2g of CO and 42.7g of Fe2O3, which is the limiting reagent with regards to the Fe prod
MrRissso [65]

Answer: CO is a limiting reagent with regards to the Fe production.

Explanation:

Fe_2O_3(s)+3CO(g)\rightarrow 2Fe(s)+3CO_2(g)

Moles of CO = \frac{\text{mass of CO}}{\text{molar mass of CO}}=\frac{13.2 g}{28 g/mol}=0.4714 mol

moles of Fe_2O_3=\frac{\text{mass of} Fe_2O_3}{\text{molar mass of}Fe_2O_3}=\frac{42.7 g g}{159.7 g/mol}=0.2673 mol

According to reaction , 3 mole of CO reacts with 1 mole of Fe_2O_3 then , 0.4714 moles of CO will react with : \frac{1}{3}\times 0.4714 moles of Fe_2O_3 that is 0.1571 moles.

0.4714 moles of CO will react with 0.1571 moles of Fe_2O_3 which means that CO is present in limited amount acting as limiting reagent.

Mole remaining of Fe_2O_3 = 0.2673 mol - 0.1571 mol = 0.1102 mol

Hence, CO is a limiting reagent and  Fe_2O_3 is an excessive reagent.

Ethanol is used in some after-shave lotions and deodourants. What properties makes it suitable for these uses?​
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Its ability to denature bacterial proteins

Explanation:

Ethanol is a rapid antimicrobial against bacteria, fungi and viruses. When 70% concentrated Ethanol is in contact with a single celled organism, the it coagulates the protein at a slower rate, creating enough time for it to penetrate the cell before coagulation can block it.This will make the whole cell coagulated thus killing the cell.

What is the molar mass of 1-butene if 5.38 × 1016 molecules of 1-butene weigh 5.00 μg?
xenn [34]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

             Molar Mass =  56 g.mol⁻¹

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Data Given:

                   Mass  =  5.00 μg  =  5.0 × 10⁻⁶ g

                   Number of Molecules  =  5.38 × 10¹⁶ Molecules

Step 1: Calculate Moles of 1-Butene:

                      As we know one mole of any substance contains 6.022 × 10²³ particles (atoms, ions, molecules or formula units). This number is also called as Avogadro's Number.

The relation between Moles, Number of Particles and Avogadro's Number is given as,

                          Number of Moles  =  Number of Particles ÷ 6.022 × 10²³

Putting values,

                          Number of Moles  =  5.38 × 10¹⁶ Molecules ÷ 6.022 × 10²³

                          Number of Moles  =  8.93 × 10⁻⁸ Moles

Step 2: Calculate Molar Mass of 1-Butene:

As,

                          Mole  =  Mass ÷ M.Mass

Solving for M.Mass,

                          M.Mass  =  Mass ÷ Mole

Putting values,

                          M.Mass  =  5.0 × 10⁻⁶ g ÷ 8.93 × 10⁻⁸ mol

                          M.Mass =  55.99 g.mol⁻¹ ≈ 56 g.mol⁻¹

Which action will slow down the rate of a reaction
Burka [1]

Answer is - Decreasing surface area of a solid reactant, rate of reaction can be slowed down.

Explanation: The quantity of a reactant species consumed or the quantity of product species formed in unit time in a chemical reaction is called rate of reaction. With passage of time, concentration of reactant decreases and concentration of product increases. Rate of reaction depends on various factors like- concentration of reactant, temperature, nature of reactant, catalyst and surface area of reactant.

By increasing the concentration of the reactants, rate of the reaction increases.

Presence of catalyst increases the rate of reaction.

With increase in temperature, kinetic energy of molecules increases which results to more number of effective collisions, so, rate of reaction increases.

With increase in the surface area of reactant, more number of molecules can react at a time and by decreasing the surface area of solid reactant rate of the reaction will  diminish/ decrease.
