B)The rate-determining step of a reaction is the rate of the fastest elementary step of its mechanism.
C)Since intermediate compounds can be formed, the chemical equations for the elementary reactions in a multistep mechanism do not always have to add to give the chemical equation of the overall process.
D)In a reaction mechanism, an intermediate is identical to an activated complex.
E)all of these statements are true.

Answers

Answer:

If we know that a reaction is an elementary reaction, then we know its rate law.

Explanation:

An elementary reaction is a reaction that takes place in one reactive encounter. This means that the two species interact in a single step to give the products.

If two reactants interact in a single step to yield the products then we can easily deduce the rate law from the reaction equation.

For instance, For the reaction;

2A + B → C

The rate law is

rate = k[A]²[B].

If the reaction is an elementary reaction and the equation of the reaction is balanced, then we can deduce the rate law from the balanced reaction equation.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]V_B = 18.3mL[/tex] -- Volume of base used

[tex]M_B = 0.0175M[/tex] --- Molarity of base

Explanation:

Given

[tex]V_A = 20mL[/tex] -- Volume of acid used

[tex]V_B_1 = 18.6mL[/tex] --- Buret Initial reading

[tex]V_B_2 = 36.9mL[/tex] --- Buret Final reading

[tex]M_A = 0.016M[/tex] --- Molarity of the acid

Solving (a): Volume of base used (VB)

This is calculated by subtracting the initial reading from the final reading of the base buret.

i.e.

[tex]V_B = V_B_2 - V_B_1[/tex]

[tex]V_B = 36.9mL - 18.6mL[/tex]

[tex]V_B = 18.3mL[/tex]

Solving (b): Molarity base (MB)

This is calculated using:

[tex]M_A * V_A = M_B * V_B[/tex]

Make MB the subject

[tex]M_B = \frac{M_A * V_A }{V_B}[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]M_B = \frac{0.016M *20mL}{18.3mL}[/tex]

[tex]M_B = \frac{0.016M *20}{18.3}[/tex]

[tex]M_B = \frac{0.32M}{18.3}[/tex]

[tex]M_B = 0.0175M[/tex]

Solving (c): There is no such thing as average molarity

A food company produces raspberry coulis as a topping for its best-selling line, double strength chocolate mousse pie. Fresh raspberries comprising 5% seeds, 20% pulp solids, and 75% water are homogenised and placed in a stainless steel vat. Sugar is added to give a raspberry:sugar mass ratio of 3.5:1. The mixture is blended, strained to remove the seeds, then heated to reduce the water content to 35%. Half a tonne of coulis is produced every day.

Required:
a. What mass of raspberries is required per week?
b. How much sugar is required per week?
c. What is the sugar content of the coulis?

Answers

Answer:

5357.1429kg per week

2142.8571 kg per week

Explanation:

Given that :

Fresh Raspberries :

5% = seeds

20% = pulp solids

75% = water

Raspberry : Sugar = 3.5 : 1

Water content = 35%

Coulis produced per day = 0.5 tonnes

Mass of Raspberry produced per week :

Mass is measured in kg;

1 tonne = 1000kg

0.5 tonne = (1000/2) kg = 500kg

Mass of Coulis produced per week = 500kg * 7 = 3500kg

Coulis contains 35% water, Raspberry required 75% water :

(3500 / 35) * 75 = 7500kg

Raspberry : Sugar ratio = 3.5 : 1

Mass of Raspberry :

[7500 - (1 /3.5) * 7500]

7500 - 2142.8571

= 5357.1429kg per week

B.

Sugar required per week:

(1/3.5) * 7500kg

= 2142.8571 kg per week

C.)

How many moles are in 8.30 X 1023 molecules of H2O? with the step

Answers

Answer:

Answer: 1.38 moles

Explanation: According to Avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance contains Avogadro number of particles (atoms, molecules or ions) i.e.6.023*10^23  particles.

Given : 1 mole molecule of water contains 6.023*10^23 molecules of water.

6.023*10^23  molecules are present in = 1 mole

 8.30*10^23molecules will be present in =

Given 5.86 grams of NaN3, how many grams of Na are produced?

Answers

Answer:

When 5.86 grams of NaN3, then 22.99 gram of Na are produced by using mole formula.

What is gram ?

A thousandth of a kilo-gram in terms of mass in the metric system.

What is mole?

A mole is a unit of measurement for atom amount. A mole of Iron atoms weighs heavier than just a mole of Carbon molecules because it is measured by the number of atoms present instead of by weight.

The reaction can be written as:

[tex]2 Na N_{3}[/tex] → 2Na + [tex]3N_{3}[/tex].

It can be seen that 2 mole of sodium azide give 3 mole of nitrogen molecule.

Calculate the moles of Na.

Moles of Na = 1 mol sodium azide × 2 mol of Na / 2 mol sodium azide = 1 mole of Na.

Calculate the mass of Na.

Mass of Na = 1 mol Na × 22.99 g Na / 1 mol Na = 22.99 gNa.

Therefore, the mass of Na will be 22.99 gram

Is a burning log an exothermic or endothermic event if the log is the (system) ?

Answers

Answer:

Exothermic Reaction

Explanation:

Burning wood in air is an exothermic process (it releases heat), but there is an energy barrier, so it requires a bit of heat in the beginning to get the reactions started.

Wood reacts with oxygen in the air to form (mostly) carbon dioxide and water vapor. The process involves many different individual chemical reactions, and it requires some energy to initiate the reactions. This is because it's usually necessary to break some chemical bonds (endothermic) before new stronger bonds can be formed (exothermic). Overall, though, more heat is released in forming the final products than is consumed in starting new reactions.

Have a great day <3

In the given question, a burning log is an exothermic event if the log is the system.

An exothermic reaction releases energy to the surroundings, usually in the form of heat. The change in enthalpy is negative.

When a log burns, it reacts with oxygen in the air to produce carbon dioxide, water vapor, and heat. This heat is released to the surroundings, making the burning log an exothermic event.

Therefore, a burning log is an exothermic event if the log is the system. This is due to the fact that the reaction emits heat into the environment, making it an exothermic reaction.

A sample of polystyrene, which has a specific heat capacity of 1.880 J.g .°C , is put into a calorimeter (see sketch at right) that contains 300.0 g of water. The polystyrene sample starts off at 94.9 °C and the temperature of the water starts off at 22.0 When the temperature of the water stops changing it's 27.7 °C. The pressure remains constant at 1 atm. Calculate the mass of the polystyrene sample.

Answers

Answer:

56.6g

Explanation:

Given that :

Mass of water, m1= 300.0 g

Temperature of water, T1= 22°C

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

Mass of polystyrene, m2=?

Temperature of polystyrene = 94.9

Specific heat capacity of polystyrene, c2= 1.88 J/g°C

Final temperature = 27.7 oC

Heat lost by polystyrene = Heat gained by water

mc(dT) = mc(dT)

m2 * 1.88 * (94.9 - 27.7) = 300 * 4.184 * (27.7 - 22)

m2 * 1.88*67.2 = 300*4.184*5.7

126.336 * m2 = 7154.64

m2 = 7154.64 / 126.336

m2 = 56.631838

Hence, mass of polystyrene = 56.6g

current in circuit B

Answers

Answer:

If the voltage of circuit A is equal to the voltage of circuit B, then the current in circuit A is less than the current in circuit B

Explanation:

To know the the correct answer to the question, do the following:

Case 1: Let the circuit A and B have equal voltage say 24 V.

For Circuit A:

Voltage (V) = 24 V

Resistance (R) = 7.5 ohms

Current (I) =?

V = IR

24 = I × 7.5

Divide both side by 7.5

I = 24 / 7.5

I = 3.2 A

For Circuit B:

Voltage (V) = 24 V

Resistance (R) = 5 ohms

Current (I) =?

V = IR

24 = I × 5

Divide both side by 5

I = 24 / 5

I = 4.8 A

Thus for the same voltage, current in circuit A is less than the current in B.

Case 2: Let circuit A and B have equal current say 2 A

For circuit A:

Current (I) = 2 A

Resistance (R) = 7.5 ohms

Voltage (V) =?

V = IR

V = 2 × 7.5

V = 15 V

For Circuit B:

Current (I) = 2 A

Resistance (R) = 5 ohms

Voltage (V) =?

V = IR

V = 2 × 5

V = 10 V

Thus, for the same current, the voltage in circuit A is greater than the voltage in B

Case 3: Let circuit A have a current of 4 A and circuit B have a current of 5 A

For circuit A:

Current (I) = 4 A

Resistance (R) = 7.5 ohms

Voltage (V) =?

V = IR

V = 4 × 7.5

V = 30 V

For circuit B:

Current (I) = 5 A

Resistance (R) = 5 ohms

Voltage (V) =?

V = IR

V = 5 × 5

V = 25 V

Thus, when the current in circuit A is less than the current in circuit B, the voltage in circuit A is greater than the voltage in circuit B.

From the illustrations above and the options given in the question, the current answer is:

If the voltage of circuit A is equal to the voltage of circuit B, then the current in circuit A is less than the current in circuit B
