Mud is a suspension because it is a heterogeneous mixture that has many solid particles that have sedimented in various parts of the mixture, meaning they can be easily seen or removed. A solution is homogeneous like putting sugar in water or similar.
Heating the reaction flask on a hot plate is an example of supplying activation energy to begin a reaction.
Explanation:
<u>Definition:</u>
Activation energy is defined as the minimum amount of energy required to start a particular chemical reaction.
For example: When hydrogen and oxygen are mixed together it does not immediately start the reaction to form water. So, to start the reaction a small electric spark is provided or it is heated to provide some energy. This energy causes the molecules of hydrogen and water to react, thus producing even more molecules to react and finally water is formed.
Here the electric spark or the heat provided is the activation energy.
Answer:
4.8 %
Explanation:
We are asked the concentration in % by mass, given the molarity of the solution and its density.
0.8 molar solution means that we have 0.80 moles of acetic acid in 1 liter of solution. If we convert the moles of acetic acid to grams, and the 1 liter solution to grams, since we are given the density of solution, we will have the values necessary to calculate the % by mass:
MW acetic acid = 60.0 g/mol
mass acetic acid (the solute) = 0.80 mol x 60 g / mol = 48.00 g
mass of solution = 1000 cm³ x 1.010 g/ cm³ (1l= 1000 cm³)
= 1010 g
% (by mass) = 48.00 g/ 1010 g x 100 = 4.8 %
Caffeine has the following percent composition: carbon 49.48%, hydrogen 5.19%, oxygen 16.48% and nitrogen 28.85%. Its molecular weight is 194.19 g/mol.
Acetic acid can be prepared from ethane by oxidizing it. Acetic acid is generally a carboxylic acid. These acids can be made by the oxidation of alcohols using potassium dichromate(VI) solution with sulfuric acid. Ethane is made into acetic acid in two steps. First it is formed into an aldehyde and then to acetic acid.
