Minerals transferred the same amont of energy into both minerals. Why did one mineral change and the other stayed the same?

Chemistry
1 answer:
IrinaK [193]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: Mineral A changed because Molecular energy transferred is equal or greater than than its Activation energy

Mineral B didn't change because Molecular energy transferred is less than its Activation energy.

Explanation:

The molecules of Mineral A has been disturbed by the addition of energy causing a change and the entropy is increased. The Molecules of Mineral B has not been disturbed because the residual energy has not been overcome and therefore yielding no visible change

A) co2 is non polar while h2o is polar why?
almond37 [142]

Answer:

A) Polar molecules have a non-zero net dipole moment. Both CO2 and H2O have two polar bonds. However the dipoles in the linear CO2 molecule cancel each other out, meaning that the CO2 molecule is non-polar. The polar bonds in the bent H2O molecule result in a net dipole moment, so H2O is polar.

B) In PCl5, in addition to equitorial bonds which lie in the same plane, there are axial it suffers more repulsion it is longer than the other bonds; hence PCl5 decomposes to form PCl3. So PCl5 is highly reactive. Source(s): 5 Heavy ElectroNegative atoms in One Molecule Lone Pair.

C) In h2o there is hydrogen bonding because oxygen has a high electronegativity (only second to flourine). so, the hydrogen atoms from other molecules of water forms a hydrogen bonds with oxygen resulting in intermolecular hydrogen bonding. therefore at room temperature h2o is a liquid and h2s is a gas.

Hope this helps also can you answer my question after since I helped you prepare for your exam.

You have 50 ml of a complex mixture of weak acids that contains some HF (pKa = 3.18) and some HCN (pKa = 9.21). Which is larger,
telo118 [61]

Answer:

\frac{[F^{-}]}{[HF]} is larger

Explanation:

pK_{a}=-logK_{a} , where K_{a} is the acid dissociation constant.

For a monoprotic acid e.g. HA, K_{a}=\frac{[H^{+}][A^{-}]}{[HA]} and \frac{[A^{-}]}{[HA]}=\frac{K_{a}}{[H^{+}]}

So, clearly, higher the K_{a} value , lower will the the pK_{a}

In this mixture, at equilibrium, [H^{+}] will be constant.

K_{a} of HF is grater than K_{a} of HCN

Hence, (\frac{F^{-}}{[HF]}=\frac{K_{a}(HF)}{[H^{+}]})>(\frac{CN^{-}}{[HCN]}=\frac{K_{a}(HCN)}{[H^{+}]})

So, \frac{[F^{-}]}{[HF]} is larger

The initial temperature of a bomb calorimeter is 28.50°C. When a chemist carries out a reaction in this calorimeter, its tempera
evablogger [386]
Converting the specific heat into kJ/kg°C, we get that the specific heat capacity is 3.52 kJ/kg°C
Now, we use the equation:
Q = mcΔT, where Q is the heat energy, m is the mass of substance, c is the specific heat capacity and ΔT is the change in temperature of the mass of substance. Substituting these values, we get:
Q = 1.4 x 3.52 x (27.45 - 28.5)
Q = -5.17 kJ

The reaction absorbs 5.17 kilojoules of energy.
