When chemicals react with each other which factors decide that a successful reaction has taken place ?

Elodia [21]

The factors that affect the rate of a reaction are:

nature of the reactant - when reactants with different chemical composition are exposed to same conditions they would react differently. For instance, when an acid or base is added on litmus paper, blue litmus paper turns red in presence of acid while red litmus paper turns blue when base is added.
surface area- a compound with small pieces spread over a large area will react faster than a big lump of a compound occupying a small area.
temperature of reaction- reactants would react faster at high temperatures. this is because they have higher kinetic energy to collide with each other. Hence a plate of food on the table spoils faster than a plate of food in the fridge.
concentration- an increase in concentration leads to more molecules available to collide and form products. An example, when you add more of indicator in a solution, the color becomes more clear since more particles react to give more color.
presence of a catalyst- a catalyst lowers the activation energy, which means less energy is required to shift reaction in forward direction. In the presence of iron (Fe) a catalyst, nitrogen N₂ and hydrogen H₂ react to produce NH₃

A 3.00-kg block of copper at 23.0°C is dropped into a large vessel of liquid nitrogen at 77.3 K. How many kilograms of nitrogen

hammer [34]

Answer:

1.2584kg of nitrogen boils.

Explanation:

Consider the energy balance for the overall process. There are not heat or work fluxes to the system, so the total energy keeps the same.

For the explanation, the 1 and 2 subscripts will mean initial and final state, and C and N2 superscripts will mean copper and nitrogen respectively; also, liq and vap will mean liquid and vapor phase respectively.

The overall energy balance for the whole system is:

$U_1=U_2$

The state 1 is just composed by two phases, the solid copper and the liquid nitrogen, so: $U_1=U_1^C+U_1^{N_2}$

The state 2 is, by the other hand, composed by three phases, solid copper, liquid nitrogen and vapor nitrogen, so:

$U_2=U_2^C+U_{2,liq}^{N_2}+U_{2,vap}^{N_2}$

So, the overall energy balance is:

$U_1^C+U_1^{N_2}=U_2^C+U_{2,liq}^{N_2}+U_{2,vap}^{N_2}$

Reorganizing,

$U_1^C-U_2^C=U_{2,liq}^{N_2}+U_{2,vap}^{N_2}-U_1^{N_2}$

The left part of the equation can be written in terms of the copper Cp because for solids and liquids Cp≅Cv. The right part of the equation is written in terms of masses and specific internal energy:

$m_C*Cp*(T_1^C-T_2^C)=m_{2,liq}^{N_2}u_{2,liq}^{N_2}+m_{2,vap}^{N_2}u_{2,vap}^{N_2}-m_1^{N_2}u_1^{N_2}$

Take in mind that, for the mass balance for nitrogen, $m_1^{N_2}=m_{2,liq}^{N_2}+m_{2,vap}^{N_2}$ ,

So, let's replace $m_1^{N_2}$ in the energy balance:

$m_C*Cp*(T_1^C-T_2^C)=m_{2,liq}^{N_2}u_{2,liq}^{N_2}+m_{2,vap}^{N_2}u_{2,vap}^{N_2}-m_{2,liq}^{N_2}u_1^{N_2}-m_{2,vap}^{N_2}u_1^{N_2}$

So, as you can see, the term $m_{2,liq}^{N_2}u_{2,liq}^{N_2}$ disappear because $u_{2,liq}^{N_2}=u_{1,liq}^{N_2}$ (The specific energy in the liquid is the same because the temperature does not change).

$m_C*Cp*(T_1^C-T_2^C)=m_{2,vap}^{N_2}u_{2,vap}^{N_2}-m_{2,vap}^{N_2}u_1^{N_2}$

$m_C*Cp*(T_1^C-T_2^C)=m_{2,vap}^{N_2}(u_{2,vap}^{N_2}-u_1^{N_2})$

The difference $(u_{2,vap}^{N_2}-u_1^{N_2})$ is the latent heat of vaporization because is the specific energy difference between the vapor and the liquid phases, so:

$m_{2,vap}^{N_2}=\frac{m_C*Cp*(T_1^C-T_2^C)}{(u_{2,vap}^{N_2}-u_1^{N_2})}$

$m_{2,vap}^{N_2}=\frac{3kg*0.092\frac{cal}{gC} *(296.15K-77.3K)}{48.0\frac{cal}{g}}\\m_{2,vap}^{N_2}=1.2584kg$

You have an atom represented by X (not real by the way). X has 2 valence electrons. You have another atom Y that has 5 valence e

BabaBlast [244]

The chemical formula : X₃Y₂

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The noble gas element is a stable class of elements. The noble gas element is monatomic. Stability of noble gases is caused by an electron configuration that has a stable configuration of 8 (has 8 valence electrons) except He with a duplet configuration (has 2 valence electrons)

Other elements that do not yet have electron configurations such as noble gases will try to achieve their stability by forming bonds between elements.

This is generally called the octet rule

X has 2 valence electrons.to achieve stability, element X will release 2 electrons to form X²⁺

Y has 5 valence electrons, to achieve stability, the element Y will attract/ add electrons to form Y³⁻

The two compounds will form a compound with the charges crossed : X₃Y₂

Explain, in terms of charge distribution, why a molecule of carbon tetrachloride is a nonpolar molecule.

Pie

Answer:

Explanation:

The covalent bond is the chemical bond between atoms where electrons are shared, forming a molecule. Covalent bonds are established between non-metallic elements, such as hydrogen H, oxygen O and chlorine Cl. These elements have many electrons in their outermost level (valence electrons) and have a tendency to gain electrons to acquire the stability of the electronic structure of noble gas.

The covalent bond between two atoms can be polar or nonpolar. If the atoms are equal, the bond will be nonpolar (since no atom attracts electrons more strongly). But, if the atoms are different, the bond will be polarized towards the most electronegative atom, because it will be the atom that attracts the electron pair with more force. Then it will be polar.

It can occur in a molecule that the bonds are polar and the molecule is nonpolar. This occurs because of the geometry of the molecule, which causes them to cancel the different equal polar bonds of the molecule.

In carbon tetrachloride the bonds are polar, but the tetrahedral geometry of the molecule causes all four dipoles to cancel out and the molecule to be apolar.
