Answer:

Disinfecting (or boiling)

Explanation:

They'd want to disinfect everything so that it is germless. Boiling is a possible answer as well because you can boil certain things to rid them of germs.

If 0.092J of heat causes a 0.267 degree C temperature change, what mass of water is present?

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

0.082g

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Heat (Q) = 0.092J

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 0.267°C

Specific heat capacity (C) of water = 4.184J/g°C

Mass (M) =..?

Thus, the mass of present can be obtained as follow:

Q = MCΔT

0.092 = M x 4.184 x 0.267

Divide both side by 4.184 x 0.267

M = 0.092 / (4.184 x 0.267)

M = 0.082g

Therefore, mass of water was present is 0.082.

The decomposition of HBr(g) into elemental species is found to have a rate constant of 4.2 ×10−3atm s−1. If 2.00 atm of HBr are

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

7,94 minutes

Explanation:

If the descomposition of HBr(gr) into elemental species have a rate constant, then this reaction belongs to a zero-order reaction kinetics, where the reaction rate does not depend on the concentration of the reactants.

For the zero-order reactions, concentration-time equation can be written as follows:

[A] = - Kt + [Ao]

where:

[A]: concentration of the reactant A at the t time,
[A]o: initial concentration of the reactant A,
K: rate constant,
t: elapsed time of the reaction

To solve the problem, we just replace our data in the concentration-time equation, and we clear the value of t.

Data:

K = 4.2 ×10−3atm/s,

[A]o=[HBr]o= 2 atm,

[A]=[HBr]=0 atm (all HBr(g) is gone)

We clear the incognita :

[A] = - Kt + [Ao]............. Kt = [Ao] - [A]

t = ([Ao] - [A])/K

We replace the numerical values:

t = (2 atm - 0 atm)/4.2 ×10−3atm/s = 476,19 s = 7,94 minutes

So, we need 7,94 minutes to achieve complete conversion into elements ([HBr]=0).

Write the Iconic Bond to Metals

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer: The ionic compound formed is magnesium chloride having formula $MgCl_2$

Explanation:

Ionic compound is defined as the compound which is formed by complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another atom.

The atom which looses the electron is known as electropositive atom and the atom which gains the electron is known as electronegative atom. This bond is usually formed between a metal and a non-metal.

Magnesium is the 12th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $1s^22s^22p^63s^2$

This element will loose 2 electrons to form $Mg^{2+}$ ion

Chlorine is the 17th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5$

This element will gain 1 electron to form $Cl^{-}$ ion

So, for every 1 atom of magnesium, 2 atoms of chlorine are required. Thus, the chemical formula becomes $MgCl_2$

Hence, the ionic compound formed is magnesium chloride having formula $MgCl_2$

In the "Méthode Champenoise," grape juice is fermented in a wine bottle to produce sparkling wine. The reaction is the following

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

The pressure inside the wine bottle at 21 °C is 4.8 · 10² atm

Explanation:

Hi there!

We know that 1 mol of CO₂ is produced per mol of produced ethanol.

If the final concentration of ethanol is 13%, let´s calculate how many moles of ethanol are present at that concentration.

A concentration of 13% means that in 100 ml of solution, 13 ml is dissolved ethanol. We have 754 ml of solution, then, the volume of ethanol will be:

754 ml solution · (13 ml ethanol/100 ml solution) = 98 ml ethanol

With the density, we can calculate the mass of ethanol present:

density = mass/ volume

0.79 g/ml = mass / 98 ml

mass = 0.79 g/ml · 98 ml

mass = 77 g

The molar mass of ethanol is 46.07 g/mol, then 77 g of ethanol is equal to:

77 g · (1 mol/46.07 g) = 1.7 mol

Then, the number of moles of CO₂ produced will be 1.7 mol.

Using the equation of the ideal gas law, we can calculate the pressure of CO₂:

P = nRT/V

Where:

P = pressure

n = number of moles

R = ideal gas constant

T = temperature

V = volume

The volume will be the headspace of the bottle (840 ml - 754 ml) 86 ml = 0.086 l.

The temperature in kelvin will be: 21 + 273 = 294 K

The gas constant is 0.082 l atm / K mol

Then:

P = (1.7 mol · 0.082 l atm/K mol · 294 K)/ 0.086 l

P = 4.8 · 10² atm

The pressure inside the wine bottle at 21 °C is 4.8 · 10² atm
