1. Which is the metric standard for measuring energy?

The <u>metric standard for measuring of energy </u>defined by the International System of Units is the joule (J), which is defined as the work done by a force of a newton in a displacement of one meter in the direction of force. So,

1 J = 1 N m = 1 kg·m²/s²

Calorie is also frequently used in scientific and technological applications. Calorie is a <u>unit of thermal energy that is equivalent to the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius</u>.

1 cal = 4,184 J

2. Which unit is used for specific heat capacity?

The specific heat capacity (c) is a physical quantity that is defined as the <u>amount of heat (</u><u>q</u><u>) that must be supplied to the mass unit of a thermodynamic substance or system to raise its temperature by one unit.</u> So,

c = q / m ΔT

where m is the mass of the substance and ΔT is the temperature increase.

In this way, as heat is a form of energy, the International System of Units expresses the specific heat in <u>joules per kilogram and per kelvin</u> (J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹). Another common unit, not belonging to the SI, is the <u>calorie per gram and per degree centigrade</u> (cal g⁻¹ ° C⁻¹).

3. If you wanted to compare the abilities of olive oil and peanut oil to gain or lose thermal energy, which unit would you use?

You should use units of specific heat capacity (J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹) since, as mentioned above, this is a physical quantity that measures the amount of heat that must be supplied to an specific mass of a substance or system to raise its temperature.

Heat is a thermal energy, so <u>by using heat capacity units you can compare the ability of</u><u> </u><u>olive oil and peanut oil to gain or lose thermal energy by varying its temperature.</u>

A possible mechanism for the gas phase reaction of NO and H2 is as follows: Step 1 2NO N2O2 Step 2 N2O2 + H2 N2O + H2O Step 3 N2
mel-nik [20]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Steps involved for the given reaction will be as follows.

Step 1: 2NO \Leftrightarrow N_{2}O_{2}    (fast)

Rate expression for step 1 is as follows.

               Rate = k [NO]^{2}

Step 2: N_{2}O_{2} + H_{2} \rightarrow N_{2}O + H_{2}O

This step 2 is a slow step. Hence, it is a rate determining step.

Step 3. N_{2}O + H_{2} \rightarrow N_{2} + H_{2}O    (fast)

Here, N_{2}O_{2} is intermediate in nature.

All the steps are bimolecular and it is a second order reaction. Also, there is no catalyst present in this reaction.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement step 1 is the rate determining step, concerning this mechanism is not directly supported by the information provided.

What is the net charge of the ionic compound calcium fluoride
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

  • <em>The net charge of the ionic compound calcium fluoride is </em><u><em>zero (0).</em></u>

<em>Explanation:</em>

<em>Ionic compounds,</em> such as covalent ones, have zero net charge; this is, they are neutral.

Substances with net positive charge are cations and substances with net negative charge are anions.

The charges in the <em>ionic compound calcium flouride</em> are distributed in this way:

  • Compound formula: CaF₂

  • Calcium charge: Ca²⁺: this is, each calcium ion has a 2 positive charge

  • Fluoride charge: F⁻: each fluoride ion has a 1 negative charge.

  • Then, the <em>net charge</em> is: 1 × (2+) + 2 × (1-) = +2 - 2 = 0.

So, a two positve charge, from one calcium ion, is equal to two negative charges, from two fluoride tions, yielding a <u>zero net charge</u>.
