For the reaction, X + Y → A + B, ΔGo is –1324 kJ. Which one of the following statements is NOT valid concerning the reaction?

natima [27]

Answer:

c. The reaction will proceed rapidly from left to right.

Explanation:

The variation of the free Gibbs energy doesn't tell anything about the speed of reaction.

On the other hand, when ΔGo is negative: the reaction is spontaneous, thermodynamically favourable, and the products are more stable than the reactants

A compound contains nitrogen and a metal. This compound goes through a combustion reaction such that compound X is produced from

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is: X is nitrogen dioxide, and Y is a metal oxide

Explanation:

Combustion of compound of containing nitrogen and metal will give nitrogen dioxide and metal oxide as product. During combustion reaction a compound reacts with oxygen in order to yield oxides of elements present in the compound.

The general equation is given as:

$4M_3N_x+7xO_2\rightarrow 4xNO_2+6M_2O_x$

Hence, the correct answer is :X is nitrogen dioxide, and Y is a metal oxide.

Predict the products when cyclohexanol is dehydrated.

lubasha [3.4K]

<span>When cyclohexanol is dehydrated using various means it creates a new hydrocarbon. This new hydrocarbon is called cyclohexene. Cyclohexene is a liquid which has no color, yet has a very strong smell to it. It is used in common industrial processes, but is also considered somewhat unstable due to it's tendency to form peroxides when exposed to light.</span>
