Walls made of paraffin wax, a covalent compound, help keep the temperature in a room steady as night changes into day and day in

to night. What is the most important property of covalent compounds that allows paraffin wax to help keep a room’s temperature level? The wall would not absorb or release any heat energy from the room or outside, so it would not affect the room’s temperature. The wall would not absorb heat during the day, but at night it would release heat that naturally exists inside of most covalent compounds. The wall would absorb extra heat during the day when the sun is out, then release the heat back into the room when the sun goes down. The wall would absorb extra heat during the day, and the wall would hold this heat in so that it cannot absorb any more heat from the night air.

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Covalent compounds are the compounds in which atoms combine by sharing of electrons.

These compounds have weak forces of attraction and therefore, they easily heat up and thus, have low melting and boiling point.

Hence, the most important property of covalent compounds that allows paraffin wax to help keep a room’s temperature level is that the wall would absorb extra heat during the day when the sun is out, then release the heat back into the room when the sun goes down.

Describe how the metal probably increases the reaction rate, identify whether this is an example of homogeneous or heterogeneous
Lisa [10]

Answer:

The metal probably increases reaction rate by either holding reactant molecules in the correct orientation to react or by weakening or breaking bonds in reactant molecules to make them more reactive.

This is an example of heterogeneous catalysis.

It is heterogeneous catalysis because the catalyst is a solid and the reactants are gases. In heterogeneous catalysis, the catalyst is in a different phase than the reactants

Explanation:

got it right :)

A 0.100 M oxalic acid, HO2CCO2H, solution is titrated with 0.100 M KOH. Calculate the pH when 25.00 mL of oxalic acid solution i
____ [38]

Answer:

pH = 4.09

Explanation:

molarity of oxalic acid in the solution

         = 0.1 x 25 / (25 + 35)

         = 0.0417 M

molarity of NaOH in the solution

          = 0.1 x 35 / (25 +35)

         = 0.0583 M

H2C2O4 + NaOH -------------------> NaHC2O4 + H2O

0.0417          0.0583                            0                0

0                      0.0166                         0.0417

now second acid -base titration  

NaHC2O4 + NaOH -------------------> Na2C2O4 + H2O

0.0417             0.0166                              0                0

0.0251                 0                                  0.0166         ---

now

pH = pKa2 + log [Na2C2O4 / NaHC2O4]

pH = 4.27 + log (0.0166 / 0.0251)

pH = 4.09

Answer: It showed that all atoms contain electrons.

Explanation:

  • J.J. Thomson's experiments inside a cathode ray tube in the presence of an electric field showed that all atoms contain tiny negatively charged subatomic particles "electrons".
  • Also, Thomson's plum pudding model of the atom had negatively-charged electrons embedded within a positively-charged "soup."
  • Furthermore, Rutherford's gold foil experiment showed that the atom is mostly empty space with a tiny positively-charged nucleus.
  • Then, Rutherford proposed the nuclear model of the atom based on these results.

Use the balanced equation given below to solve the following problem; Calculate the volume in liters of CO produced by the react
Elan Coil [88]

Answer: 40.3 L

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}

\text{Moles of} Sb_2O_3=\frac{175g}{291.5g/mol}=0.600moles

Sb_2O_3+3C\rightarrow 2Sb+3CO  

According to stoichiometry :

1 moles of Sb_2O_3 produces = 3 moles of CO

Thus 0.600 moles of Sb_2O_3 will produce=\frac{3}{1}\times 0.600=1.80moles  of CO

Volume of CO=moles\times {\text {Molar volume}}=1.80moles\times 22.4L/mol=40.3L

Thus 40.3 L of CO is produced.
