A conductor is what helps heat or electricity pass through an object. Examples of conductors are, silver, iron, aluminum, etc..

An insulator does the opposite and instead, stops either from going through. Examples of an insulator is paper, wood, rubber, etc.

Lab: Limiting Reactant and Percent Yield
creativ13 [48]

Answer : If a substance is the limiting reactant, then it limits the formation of products because in the reaction it is present in limited amount.

Explanation :

While observing a chemical reaction, we can tell about whether a reactant is limiting or excess.

Step 1 : first write the chemical reaction and then balanced the chemical equation.

C_2H_4+H_2\rightarrow C_2H_6

Step 2 : convert the given masses into the moles if mass of C_2H_4 is 10.5 g and molar mass of C_2H_4 is 28 g/mole and the mass of hydrogen is 0.40 g and molar mass of hydrogen is 2 g/mole.

\text{moles of }C_{2}H_{4}=\frac{10.5g}{28g/mole}=0.375moles

\text{moles of }H_{2}=\frac{0.40g}{2g/mole}=0.20moles

Step 3 : Now we have to determine the limiting reagent and excess reagent.

\text{ moles of }C_{2}H_{4}\text{ in excess}=0.375-0.20=0.175\text{moles}

Now we conclude that C_{2}H_{4} is the limiting reagent and hydrogen is an excess reagent.

Hypothesis :

Limiting reagent : It is the reagent in the chemical reaction that is totally consumed when the chemical reaction is complete.  Limiting reagent limits the formation of products.

On a warm summer day in Oslo, the temperature is 21 degree C and the relative humidity is 70%. What is the absolute humidity? Wh
lesya [120]

Explanation:

According to the psychrometric chart at dry bulb temperature of 21^{o}C and RH 70%, the absolute humidity = 0.011 kg/kg dry air

Formula to calculate humid volume is as follows.

       \nu_{H} m^{3}/kg dry air = \frac{22.41}{273}TK (\frac{1}{28.97} + \frac{1}{18.02}H)

                     = (2.83 \times 10^{-3} + 4.56 \times 10^{-3} H) T K

                     = (2.83 \times 10^{-3} + 4.56 \times 10^{-3} \times 0.011) \times 294

                       = 0.847 m^{3}/kg dry air

Hence, humid volume of air is 0.847 m^{3}/kg dry air.

Specific enthalpy of dry air  = specific heat capacity of dry air × dry bulb temperature

                    = 1.006 kJ/kg ^{o}C \times 21^{o}C

                    = 21.126 kJ/kg dry air

Hence, the specific enthalpy of the air is 21.126 kJ/kg dry air.

As per the psychrometric chart at given conditions wet bulb temperature = 17.5 ^{o}C

As per the psychrometric chart at given conditions dew point temperature = 15.5 ^{o}C

What is the amount of heat energy absorbed when 36 grams of ice at -20oC is melted to water at 0oC?
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Q = 1461.6 J

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of ice = 36 g

Initial temperature = -20°C

Final temperature = 0°C

Amount of heat absorbed = ?

Solution:

specific heat capacity of ice is 2.03 j/g.°C

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = T2 - T1

ΔT =  0°C - (-20°C)

ΔT = 20°C

Q = 36 g ×2.03 j/g.°C×20°C

Q = 1461.6 J
