Which event is an example of an endothermic reaction?.

1 answer:

7 0

For a reaction to be endothermic we have a process where heat is absorbed from a product and the end result is the product being colder than it originally was.

An event that can be a good practical example is using an ice pack on your arm. Your arm is warm before an ice pack is applied. After you apply an ice pack and leave it there for a while and then take it off, the site where the ice pack was would be colder than it was before the ice pack. Hope this helps!

Based on the molecular formula, determine whether each compound is an alkane, alkene, or alkyne. (Assume that the hydrocarbons a

topjm [15]

Answer:

a. alkyne

b. alkane

c. alkyne

d. alkene

Explanation:

The general formula for each class of compound is given below

Alkane: $C_nH_{2n+2}$

Alkene: $C_nH_{2n}$

Alkyne: $C_nH_{2n-2}$ (assuming single multiple bonds)

Now let us classify according to the above formulas:

a. It has two hydrogen atoms less than the two times of carbon atoms hence, it's alkyne

b. It has two hydrogen atoms more than the two times of carbon atoms hence, it's alkane

c. It has two hydrogen atoms less than the two times of carbon atoms hence, it's alkyne

d. It has hydrogen atoms two times of carbon atoms hence, it's alkene

Does adding 1 mol of NaCl to 1 kg of water lower the vapor pressure of water to the same extent, a lesser extent, or a greater e

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

Adding 1 mol of NaCl to 1 kg of water lower the vapor pressure of water <em><u>to the same extent</u></em> by adding 1 mol of $C_06H_{12}O_6$ to 1 kg of water.

Explanation:

1) Moles of NaCl , $n_1=1 mol$

Mass of water = m= 1 kg = 1000 g

Moles of water = $n_2=\frac{1000 g}{18 g/mol}=55.55 mol$

Vapor pressure of the solution = $p$

Vapor pressure of the pure solvent that is water = $p_o=17.5 Torr$

Mole fraction of solute(NaCl)= $\chi_1=\frac{n_1}{n_1+n_2}$

$\frac{p_o-p}{p_o}=\frac{n_1}{n_1+n_2}$

$\frac{17.5 Torr-p}{17.5 Torr}=\frac{1 mol}{1 mol+55.55 mol}$

$p=17.19 Torr$

The vapor pressure for the NaCl solution at 17.19 Torr.

2) Moles of sucrose , $n_1=1mol$

Mass of water = m = 1 kg = 1000 g

Moles of water = $n_2=\frac{1000 g}{18 g/mol}=55.55 mol$

Vapor pressure of the solution = $p'$

Vapor pressure of the pure solvent that is water = $p_o=17.5 Torr$

Mole fraction of solute ( glucose)= $\chi_1=\frac{n_1}{n_1+n_2}$

$\frac{p_o-p}{p_o}=\frac{n_1}{n_1+n_2}$

$\frac{17.5 Torr-p}{17.5 Torr}=\frac{1 mol}{1 mol+55.55 mol}$

$p'=17.19 Torr$

The vapor pressure for the glucose solution at 17.19 Torr.

p = p' = 17.19 Torr

Adding 1 mol of NaCl to 1 kg of water lower the vapor pressure of water to the same extent by adding 1 mol of $C_06H_{12}O_6$ to 1 kg of water.

Discuss how the following factors determine the rate of electron transfer in biological systems:

Cloud [144]

Answer:check explanation

Explanation:

(a). HOW THE DISTANCE BETWEEN ELECTRON DONOR AND ACCEPTOR AFFECTS THE RATE OF ELECTRON TRANSFER IN BIOLOGICAL SYSTEM:

Distance between the acceptor and the donor can affect in two ways; short distance and long distance effect.

Short distance causes

electronic orbitals of donor and acceptor directly overlap whereas in LONG DISTANCE reactions this coupling is indirect because of

sequential overlaps of atomic orbitals of the donor, the intervening medium, and the orbitals of the acceptor.

(b). HOW REORGANIZATION ENERGY OF REDOX ACTIVE SPECIE SURROUNDING MEDIUM AFFECTS:

the reorganized energy does not depend on the pre-existing intra molecule electric field. The charge transferred inside the molecule interacts with its aqueous surroundings.

Reorganized energy can be calculated using Poisson-Boltzmann equation.
