Answer:
16 °C
Explanation:
Step 1: Given data
- Provided heat (Q): 811.68 J
- Mass of the metal (m): 95 g
- Specific heat capacity of the metal (c): 0.534 J/g.°C
Step 2: Calculate the temperature change (ΔT) experienced by the metal
We will use the following expression.
Q = c × m × ΔT
ΔT = Q/c × m
ΔT = 811.68 J/(0.534 J/g.°C) × 95 g = 16 °C
A mixture consists of numerous substances, whereas a substance does not consist of mixtures, but rather of compounds. Mixtures can be separated physically, while substances cannot.
Answer:
- <em><u>Step 2 (the slow step).</u></em>
Explanation:
The rate-determining step is always the slow step of a mechanism.
That is so, because it is the slow step which limits the reaction.
Imaging that for assembling a toy you have process of three steps:
- 1. order ten pieces, which you can do in 1 minute: meaning that you can order order the pieces for 60/1 = 60 toys in 1 hour.
- 2. glue the pieces and hold the toy until the glue hardens, which takes 1 hour: meaning finishingh 1 toy in 1 hour.
- 3. pack the toy, which takes 2 minutes: meaning that you can pack 60/2 = 30 toys in one hour.
The time to glue and hold one toy until the glue hardens determines that you can assemble 1 toy in 1 hour and not 60 toys or 30 toys.
Thus, the step that determines the rate at which the reaction happens is the slowest step: step 2.
Answer:
E
Explanation:
A catalyst is a substance which alters the rate of a chemical reaction. We check for the correctness of each of the options as follows:
A. Is wrong.
A catalyst can increase the rate of the forward and backward reaction
B. Is wrong
A catalyst does not slow the reverse reaction only. This particular case is the case of a negative catalyst
C is wrong
A catalyst has no effect on the equilibrium nor the equilibrium constant
D is wrong
Catalyst has no effect on equilibrium value
E is correct
Although Catalysts has no effect on equilibrium or its constant value, it can increase the the rate at which equilibrium is achieved by speeding up the reaction through bringing down the activation energy
