Answer:

Rusting is an oxidation reaction. The iron reacts with water and oxygen to form hydrated iron (III) oxide, which we see as rust. Here is the word equation for the reaction: iron + water + oxygen → hydrated iron (III) oxide

In this reaction, zinc atoms each will lose two electrons (oxidation) and become Zn 2+ ions. The two electrons that are released by zinc will be gained by the Cu 2+ ions (reduction). The Cu2+ ions become Cu atoms. Total equation: Zn (s) + CuSO 4 (aq) --> Cu (s) + ZnSO 4 (aq)

What error in the data is likely to occur if the hydrated salt is heated strongly
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

If the hydrated salt is overheated, it causes the anhydrous salt to decompose, causing the product to be lost as gas. The reported percentage of water loss will be too high because the gap between the initial measurement and final (which will be lower due to loss of sample) measurement will widen.

The standard biological reaction Gibbs energy for the removal of the phosphate group from adenosine monophosphate is 14 kJ mol-1
nignag [31]

Answer: K = 284

Explanation:

Gibbs free energy (DG) = RT(InK)

Where :

R = Gas constant = 8.314J/K/mol = 0.008314KJmol/K

T = temperature in Kelvin = 298K

K = dissociation rate

DG = 14

DG = RT(InK)

14 = 0.008314 × 298 × (InK)

14 = 2.477572 × InK

Ink = (14 ÷ 2.477542)

InK = 5.6507619

K = 284

When two or more refrigerant are mixed what must be done with the mixture
german
Refrigerants are chemical mixtures composed of several substances. During the HVAC cycle, <span>refrigerants can usually exist in several states.
These substances have very dangerous and destructive effects on the environment.

Based on this, if two or mire </span><span>refrigerants are mixed together, the mixture must be recovered into a separate tank and sent to the specialized facility to destroy it. 
The destruction of the mixture should only be done by experts in specialized facilities.

Hope this helps :)</span>
