Answer:

It's D. On the surface of the solid.

Explanation:

If the reactant is a solid, the surface area of the solid will impact how fast the reaction goes. This is because the two types of molecule can only bump into each other at the liquid solid interface, i.e. on the surface of the solid. So the larger the surface area of the solid, the faster the reaction will be.

Calculate q (in units of joules) when 1.850 g of water is heated from 22 °C to 33 °C. Report only the numerical portion of your

Minchanka [31]

When q is the heat energy in joules (J)

so, according to this formula, we can get q (in joule unit):

q = M*C*ΔT

when M is the mass of the water sample = 1.85 g

C is the specific heat capacity of water = 4.18 J/g.°C

and Δ T is the difference in temperature (Tf-Ti) = 33 - 22 = 11°C

So, by substitution, we will get the value of q ( in Joule):

∴ q = 1.85 g * 4.18 J/g.°C * 11 °C

= 85 J

How to find the number of neutrons in an isotope?

Alexeev081 [22]

Chemical properties of elements are primarily determined by the electrons but not by neutrons. Therefore, the isotopes of the same element have similar chemical behavior. (a) The atomic number is 17, so there are 17 protons and 17 electrons. The mass number is 35, so there are 18 (=35-17) neutrons. Hope this helps. :)

What is the radius of a hydrogen atom whose electron is bound by 0.544 ev? express your answer with the appropriate units?

insens350 [35]

First, we need to calculate the principal quantum number n for this electron, using the equation:
E = (-13.60 eV) / (n x n)
where E is the energy that is used to bound the electron (here, E = - 0.544 eV).
- 0.544 eV = (-13.60 eV) / (n x n)
n x n = (- 13.60 eV) / (- 0.544 eV)
n x n = 25
n = 5

The orbital radius that is equal to the radius of a hydrogen atom is calculated using the equation:
r = 0.053 nm x n x n
r = 0.053 nm x 5 x 5
r = 0.053 nm x 25
r = 1.325 nm

Gaseous methane (CH4) reacts with gaseous oxygen gas (02) to produce gaseous carbon dioxide (CO2) and gaseous water (H20). What

Mariana [72]

Answer:

Theoretical yield = 3.51 g

Explanation:

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

For $CH_4$ :-

Mass of $CH_4$ = 1.28 g

Molar mass of $CH_4$ = 16.04 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$Moles= \frac{1.28\ g}{16.04\ g/mol}$

$Moles_{CH_4}= 0.0798\ mol$

For $O_2$ :-

Mass of $O_2$ = 10.1 g

Molar mass of $O_2$ = 31.998 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$Moles= \frac{10.1\ g}{31.998\ g/mol}$

$Moles_{O_2}= 0.3156\ mol$

According to the given reaction:

$CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O$

1 mole of methane gas reacts with 2 moles of oxygen gas

0.0798 mole of methane gas reacts with 2*0.0798 moles of oxygen gas

Moles of oxygen gas = 0.1596 moles

Available moles of oxygen gas = 0.3156 moles

Limiting reagent is the one which is present in small amount. Thus, $CH_4$ is limiting reagent.

The formation of the product is governed by the limiting reagent. So,

1 mole of methane gas on reaction produces 1 mole of carbon dioxide.

0.0798 mole of methane gas on reaction produces 0.0798 mole of carbon dioxide.

Mole of carbon dioxide = 0.0798 mole

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44.01 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$0.0798\ moles= \frac{Mass}{44.01\ g/mol}$

Mass of $CO_2$ = 3.51 g

Theoretical yield = 3.51 g
