Answer: Thermal decomposition

Explanation:

Decomposition is a type of chemical reaction in which one reactant forms two or more than two products.

Decomposition reactions require breaking of bonds which require energy and thus all of the decomposition reactions are endothermic reactions. They require energy in the form of heat, electricity or sunlight and thus called as thermal, electrolytic and photolytic decomposition respectively.

The decomposition reaction for calcium carbonate breaks down into calcium oxide and liberates carbon dioxide is :

CaCO_3\rightarrow CaO+CO_2

Convert 1.25 atm to bar.
Tasya [4]

Answer: 1.27 bar

Explanation:

1 atm = 1.01325 bar

1.25 atm = Z (let Z be the unknown value)

To get the value of Z, cross multiply

Z x 1 atm = 1.25 atm x 1.01325 bar

1 atm•Z = 1.2665625 atm•bar

To get the value of Z, divide both sides by 1 atm

1 atm•Z/1 atm = 1.2665625 atm•bar/1atm

Z = 1.2665625 bar

(Round up Z to the nearest hundredth as 1.27 bar)

Thus, 1.25 atm when coverted gives 1.27 bar

Answer each of the following questions with increases, decreases, or does not change.
Nitella [24]

Answer:

a) increases

b) decreases

c) does not change

d) increases

Explanation:

The vapour pressure of a liquid is dependent on;

I) the magnitude of intermolecular forces

II) the temperature of the liquid

Hence, when any of these increases, the vapour pressure increases likewise.

Similarly, the boiling point of a liquid depends on the magnitude of intermolecular forces present because as intermolecular forces increases, more energy is required to break intermolecular bonds.

Lastly, increase in surface area of a liquid does not really affect it's vapour pressure.

Consider the combustion reaction for octane (C8H18), which is a primary component of gasoline.
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

1.16 moles CO₂

Explanation:

To find the moles of CO₂, you need to (1) convert grams C₈H₁₈ to moles (via the molar mass) and then (2) convert moles C₈H₁₈ to moles CO₂ (via the mole-to-mole ratio from equation coefficients). It is important that the conversions/ratios are arranged in a way that allows for the cancellation of units. The final answer should have 3 significant figures like the given value.

Molar Mass (C₈H₁₈): 8(12.011 g/mol) + 18(1.008 g/mol)

Molar Mass (C₈H₁₈): 114.232 g/mol

2 C₈H₁₈ + 25 O₂ -----> 16 CO₂ + 18 H₂O
^                                    ^

16.6 g C₈H₁₈            1 mole            16 moles CO₂          
--------------------  x  -----------------  x  -------------------------  = 1.16 moles CO₂  
                              114.232 g          2 moles C₈H₁₈

How are subtances dissolved ?​
ELEN [110]

Answer: A solute dissolves because its particles interact with the particles of a solvent. Anything that allows more solvent to touch more solute will cause a solute to dissolve more quickly. Small pieces of a substance dissolve faster than large pieces.
