Which example is a homogenous mixture of two or more pure substances? alcohol

il63 [147K]

Answer:

Alcohol and water.

Explanation:

Alcohol and water is a homogenous mixture. because these two liquids are soluble, miscible in all composition. A homogenous mixture is a solution that has equal composition of its components.

Irregular mixing of two liquid components have different refractive indexes. At a high temperature, it can become inhomogenous spontaneously.

A solution is a type of homogenous mixture which composed of two or more substances. In a mixture a solute is a substance, dissolves in other substance that is solvents like alcohol and water, alcohol is solute and water is a solvent.

Catalyst

Hoochie [10]

a. volume of NO : 41.785 L

b. mass of H2O : 18 g

c. volume of O2 : 9.52 L

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

4 NH₃ (g) + 5 O2 (g) → 4 NO (g) + 6 H2O (l)

Required

a. volume of NO

b. mass of H2O

c. volume of O2

Solution

Assume reactants at STP(0 C, 1 atm)

Products at 1000 C (1273 K)and 1 atm

a. mol ratio NO : O2 from equation : 4 : 5, so mo NO :

$\tt \dfrac{4}{5}\times 0.5=0.4$

volume NO at 1273 K and 1 atm

$\tt V=\dfrac{nRT}{P}=\dfrac{0.4\times 0.08206\times 1273}{1}=41.785~L$

b. 15 L NH3 at STP ( 1mol = 22.4 L)

$\tt \dfrac{15}{22.4}=0.67~mol$

mol ratio NH3 : H2O from equation : 4 : 6, so mol H2O :

$\tt \dfrac{6}{4}\times 0.67=1$

mass H2O(MW = 18 g/mol) :

$\tt mass=mol\times MW=1\times 18=18~g$

c. mol NO at 1273 K and 1 atm :

$\tt n=\dfrac{PV}{RT}=\dfrac{1\times 35.5}{0.08206\times 1273}=0.34$

mol ratio of NO : O2 = 4 : 5, so mol O2 :

$\tt \dfrac{5}{4}\times 0.34=0.425$

Volume O2 at STP :

$\tt 0.425\times 22.4=9.52~L$

How does weathering change rocks and minerals

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

It changes rocks and minerals by water, ice, acids, salt, and changes in the temperature. Once the rock has been broken down a process named erosion happens, it transports bits of rocks and minerals away

Compare molecular & covalent network crystal solid?

Daniel [21]

Answer:

Molecular solids and covalent network solids are two types of solid compounds. The key difference between molecular solid and covalent network solid is that <em>molecular solid forms due to the action of Van der Waal forces </em>where as <em>covalent network solid forms due to the action of covalent chemical bonds.</em>

A chemical engineer is developing a process for producing a new chemical. One step in the process involves allowing a solution o

g100num [7]

Answer:

using a more concentrated potassium hydroxide

Explanation:

<em>The option that would likely increase the rate of reaction would be to use a more concentrated potassium hydroxide.</em>

<u>The concentration of reactants is one of the factors that affect the rate of reaction. The more the concentration of the reactants, the faster the rate of reaction. </u>

Granted that there are enough of the other reactants, increasing the concentration of one of the reactants will lead to an increased rate of reaction.

Hence, using a more concentrated potassium hydroxide which happens to be one of the reactants would likely increase the rate of reaction.
