Answer:

The correct answer is the third statement, that is, when the heated substance gets near to the surface, it starts to cool.

Explanation:

A current that arises within a fluid due to convection is termed as the convection current. In comparison to the surface, the core is extremely hot, thus, both core and the surface exhibit very distinct temperatures. The mantle rises towards the surface when it gets heated as it moves close to the core. However, when it moves towards the surface, the mantle starts to turn cool and denser.

Afterward, the magma, which is cool, again then begins to move close to the core, and gets heated and rises again, this phenomenon results in the emergence of convection currents.

Which of the reactions are spontaneous (favorable)? DHAP − ⇀ ↽ − glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate Δ G = 3.8 kJ / mol DHAP↽−−⇀glycerald

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Explanation:

In spontaneous reaction , there is decrease in Gibb's free energy .( Δ G is negative ). Out of given reaction , following reactions have negative Δ G so they are spontaneous.

C ₂ H ₄ + H ₂ Rh ( I ) −−−→ C ₂ H ₆ , Δ G = − 150.97 kJ / mol

C ₆ H₁₃O₉ P + ATP ⟶ C ₆ H₁₄ O₁₂ P₂ + ADP , Δ G = − 14.2 kJ / mol

Standard Hydrogen Electrode consists of platinum wire fused in a glass tube and a platinum plate coated with finely divided plat

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

To increase surface area of the platinum electrode which results in superior quality and action of the electrodes as opposed to normal platinum electrodes.

Explanation:

Platinization of Platinum is the process of covering platinum electrode with a layer of platinum black. Platinum black is a finally divided form of platinum, optimized for catalysing the addition of hydrogen to unsaturated organic compound. This increases the surface area of the platinum electrodes and therefore exhibits action superior to that of normal electrodes.

Consider four beakers labeled A, B, C, and D, each containing an aqueous solution and a solid piece of metal. Identity the beake

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

A Reaction

3. Pt(NO₃)₂(aq) + Cu(s)

4. Cr(s) + H₂SO₄(aq)

B Non Reaction

1. Mn(s) + Ca(NO₃)₂(aq)

2. KOH(aq) + Fe(s)

Y > Q > W > Z > X

Explanation:

The first question is whether a reaction will occur base on the chemical equation below.

1. Mn(s) + Ca(NO₃)₂(aq)

2. KOH(aq) + Fe(s)

3. Pt(NO₃)₂(aq) + Cu(s)

4. Cr(s) + H₂SO₄(aq)

Firstly, some element are more reactive than others , base on this criteria element can be arranged base on it reactivity .

1. Mn(s) + Ca(NO₃)₂(aq)

This reaction will not occur because Mn cannot displace Ca in it compound. Usually, more reactive element displaces less reactive element.

2. KOH(aq) + Fe(s)

The reaction will not occur since Iron is less reactive and lower in the reactivity series than potassium . So iron won't be able to displace potassium.

3. Pt(NO₃)₂(aq) + Cu(s)

Copper is more reactive than platinum so it will displace platinum easily . The reaction will definitely occur.

4. Cr(s) + H₂SO₄(aq)

Chromium is higher up in the reactivity series than hydrogen so, it will definitely displace hydrogen in it compound . The reaction will occur in this case.

Base on the reaction

Q + W+ Reaction occurs

Since the reaction occurred element Q is more reactive as it displace element w from it compound.

X + Z+ No reaction

No reaction occurred because element x is less reactive than z therefore, it cannot displace z from it compound.

W + Z+ Reaction occurs

Element w is more reactive than z as it displaces z form it compound.

Q+ + Y Reaction occurs

Element Y is more reactive than element Q as it displaces Q from it compound.

Therefore, the order of reactivity from the most reactive to the least reactive will be Y > Q > W > Z > X

What is the change in enthalpy in kilojoules when 3.24 g of CH3OH is completely reacted according to the following reaction 2 CH

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

12.78 kJ

Explanation:

The correct balanced reaction would be

$2CH_3OH\rightarrow 2CH_4+O_2\Delta H=252.8\ \text{kJ}$

Mass of methanol = $3.24\ \text{g}$

Moles of methanol can be obtained by dividing the mass of methanol with its molar mass $(32.04\ \text{g/mol})$

$\dfrac{3.24}{32.04}=0.10112\ \text{moles}$

Enthalpy change for the number of moles is given by

$\dfrac{\text{Number of moles of methanol in the reaction}}{\text{Enthalpy change in the reaction}}=\dfrac{\text{Number of moles in 3.24 g of methanol}}{\text{Enthaply in change in the mass of methanol}}$

$\\\Rightarrow\dfrac{2}{252.8}=\dfrac{0.10112}{\Delta H}\\\Rightarrow \Delta H=\dfrac{0.10112\times 252.8}{2}\\\Rightarrow \Delta H=12.781568\approx 12.78\ \text{kJ}$

The change in enthalpy is 12.78 kJ.
