What does an increase in temperature do to the reaction rate?

Goshia [24]

Answer:

An increase in temperature typically increases the rate of reaction because an increase in temperature will raise the average kinetic energy of the reactant molecules. Therefore, a greater proportion of molecules will have the minimum energy necessary for an effective collision.Increasing the temperature increases reaction rates because of the disproportionately large increase in the number of high energy collisions. It is only these collisions (possessing at least the activation energy for the reaction) which result in a reaction.

Determine the mass of carbon iv oxide ,produced on burning 104g of ethyne

mars1129 [50]

163 grams (3 sig. fig.).

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Formula of <em>carbon(IV) oxide</em> (a.k.a. carbon dioxide): $\text{CO}_2$ .
Molar mass of $\text{CO}_2$ : $\underbrace{12.01}_{\text{C}} + 2\times\underbrace{16.00}_{\text{O}}=44.01\;\text{g}\cdot\text{mol}^{-1}$ .

Formula of ethyne: structural $\text{H}-\text{C}\equiv\text{C}-\text{H}$ or molecular $\text{C}_2\text{H}_2$ .
Molar mass of $\text{C}_2\text{H}_2$ : $2\times\underbrace{12.01}_{\text{C}}+2 \times\underbrace{16.00}_{\text{O}} = 56.02\;\text{g}\cdot\text{mol}^{-1}$ .

All carbon atoms in that 104 grams of ethyne will end up in $\text{CO}_2$ . Number of moles of molecules in 104 grams of ethyne:

$n = \dfrac{m}{M} = \dfrac{104}{56.02} = 1.85648\;\text{mol}$ .

There are two carbon atoms in each ethyne molecule. Number of carbon atoms in that many ethyne molecules:

$n(\text{C}) = 2\;n(\text{C}_2\text{H}_2) = 3.71296\;\text{mol}$ .

There are one carbon atom in each $\text{CO}_2$ molecule. In case oxygen is in excess, all those carbon atoms from that 104 grams of ethyne will make $n(\text{CO}_2) = n(\text{C}) =3.71296\;\text{mol}$ of $\text{CO}_2$ .

Mass of all those $\text{CO}_2$ molecules:

$m = n\cdot M = 163\;\text{g}$ . (3 sig. fig. as in the mass of ethyne.)

How would a system in which both matter and energy are exchanged freely between the system and the surroundings be classified? (

Nata [24]

Answer:

An open system

Explanation:

An open system is a system in which both matter and energy are exchanged freely between the system and the surroundings.

An example is a pot of water boiling on the stove. The surroundings (the stove) can supply heat energy to the water and the water can escape into the atmosphere.

A <em>closed system</em> is a system in which energy but not matter is exchanged freely between the system and the surroundings.

An example is a pressure cooker on the stove. The surroundings (the stove) can supply heat energy to the food inside, but no matter can escape through the closed lid.

An <em>isolated system</em> is a system in which neither energy nor matter can be exchanged between the system and the surroundings.

An example is a thermos of hot soup. The cap prevents matter from escaping and the shiny interior reflects heat back into the soup.

Round off each number to the indicated number significant figures (sf):

qaws [65]

Answer :

(a) The given number in 2 significant figures will be, $3.6\times 10^3$

(b) The given number in 4 significant figures will be, $3.583\times 10^1$

(c) The given number in 3 significant figures will be, $2.24\times 10^1$

Explanation :

Significant figures : The figures in a number which express the value -the magnitude of a quantity to a specific degree of accuracy is known as significant digits.

(a) The given number 00003554 converted into 2 significant figures.

In 00003554, there are 4 significant figures. Now we have to convert it into 2 significant figures.

The given number in 2 significant figures will be, $3.6\times 10^3$

(b) The given number 35.8348 converted into 4 significant figures.

In 35.8348, there are 6 significant figures. Now we have to convert it into 4 significant figures.

The given number in 4 significant figures will be, $3.583\times 10^1$

(c) The given number 22.4555 converted into 3 significant figures.

In 22.4555, there are 6 significant figures. Now we have to convert it into 3 significant figures.

The given number in 3 significant figures will be, $2.24\times 10^1$
