stiv31 [10]

Explanation:

The observation of student was that thermometer reading changed from 27°C to 35°C which indicates that temperature of the beaker solution rose after reaction due to release of heat during reaction as a product.

Those chemical reactions which gives heat energy as a product into their surrounding are categorized as exothermic reactions. During the course of these reaction temperature of the surroundings also increased.

So, this means that reaction between silver nitrate and copper wire is an exothermic reaction.

Three ways that the student could speed up the reaction :

  • By adding catalyst to the reaction.
  • By decreasing the temperature.
  • By increasing the concentration of silver nitarte solution.

You are asked to go into the lab and prepare an acetic acid - sodium acetate buffer solution with a ph of 4.00  0.02. what mola
Oxana [17]
Hello!

To solve this problem we are going to use the Henderson-Hasselbach equation and clear for the molar ratio. Keep in mind that we need the value for Acetic Acid's pKa, which can be found in tables and is 4,76:

 pH=pKa + log ( \frac{[CH_3COONa]}{[CH_3COOH]} )

\frac{[CH_3COOH]}{[CH_3COONa}= 10^{(pH-pKa)^{-1}}=10^{(4-4,76)^{-1}}=5,75

So, the mole ratio of CH₃COOH to CH₃COONa is 5,75

Have a nice day!

A chemical reaction is done in the setup shown , resulting in a change of mass. What will happen if the same reaction is done in
irina1246 [14]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The mass of the system will remain the same if there is no conversion of mass to energy in the reaction.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • If the system is closed, then according to the law of mass conservation the mass of the reaction system will remain the same.
  • <u><em>Law of conservation of the mass: In simple words, it is described as the mass of a closed system can never be changed, it may transfer from one form to another or change into energy.</em></u>
  • But if the reaction involves energy transfer like heat or light production, in this case, the mass can be changed.
