Answer:

The energy gained by the peas is lost by the water;

Energy is transferred from the fire to the pot, then to the water, and then to the peas

Explanation:

According to the fundamental laws of thermodynamics, heat flows from hotter objects to colder ones.

Let's analyze the heat flow in each of the systems we have:

  • A pot of water is heated over a fire. We have a system of water/fire. Since water is heated, it gains heat. This means fire loses heat to water.
  • Frozen peas are added to the hot water. We have a system of peas/water. In this scenario, water is hot. Thus, heat flows from water to peas (heat is lost by water and gained by peas).

Analyzing the answer choices, firstly we notice that the energy gained by the peas is lost by the water, as water is hotter than the peas. Hence, this is true.

Secondly, the peas gain energy, as energy is a synonym to heat. This means the fact that peas lose energy is false.

Thirdly, it's false to claim that energy is transferred from the peas to the water and the pot, as we actually have a reverse process: both pot and water are at a higher temperature and heat flows from them towards the peas at a lower temperature.

Fourthly, it's also false to claim that the water receives energy both from the ire and from the frozen peas: the water only gains energy from the fire that is at a higher temperature, but it loses energy to the frozen peas, as the water is hotter than the peas.

Finally, it's true that energy is transferred from the fire to the pot, then to the water, and then to the peas. This is simply understood knowing that the fire here is at the highest temperature and it directly interacts with the pot which transfers energy to the water. The water is now at a higher temperature relatively to the peas, so it transfers energy to the peas afterwards.

Small quantites of hydrogen gas can be prepared in the laboratory by the addition of aqueous hydrochloric acid to metallic zinc.
ira [324]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass or zinc reacted is 0.624 grams.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Total pressure = 1.032 atm

Vapor pressure of water = 32 torr = 0.042 atm    (Conversion factor:  1 atm = 760 torr)

To calculate partial pressure of hydrogen gas, we use the equation:

p_{H_2}=p_T-p_{H_2O}\\\\p_{H_2}=1.032-0.042=0.99atm

To calculate the number of moles of hydrogen gas, we use the equation given by ideal gas follows:

PV=nRT

where,

P = pressure of hydrogen gas = 0.99 atm

V = Volume of hydrogen gas = 240. mL = 0.240 L    (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)

T = Temperature of hydrogen gas = 30^oC=[30+273]K=303K

R = Gas constant = 0.0821\text{ L. atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}

n = number of moles of hydrogen gas = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.99atm\times 0.240L=n\times 0.0821\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 303K\\n=\frac{0.99\times 0.240}{0.0821\times 303}=9.55\times 10^{-3}mol

The chemical equation for the reaction of zinc and hydrochloric acid follows:

Zn+2HCl\rightarrow ZnCl_2+H_2

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of hydrogen gas is produced from 1 mole of zinc metal

So, 9.55\times 10^{-3}mol of hydrogen gas is produced from = \frac{1}{1}\times 9.55\times 10^{-3}=9.55\times 10^{-3}mol of zinc metal

To calculate the mass of zinc metal, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Molar mass of zinc = 65.38 g/mol

Moles of zinc = 9.55\times 10^{-3} moles

Putting values in above equation, we get:

9.55\times 10^{-3}mol=\frac{\text{Mass of zinc}}{65.38g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of zinc}=(9.55\times 10^{-3}mol\times 65.38g/mol)=0.624g

Hence, the mass or zinc reacted is 0.624 grams.

Fill in the blanks with appropriate options given in below:
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

1) -COOH

2) -NH2

3) hydrogen bonds

4) dispersion forces

5) -CH3

6) hydrogen bonds

7) negative

8) negative

9) positive

Explanation:

Alanine has a <u>-COOH</u> and a <u>-NH2</u> group available to form <u>hydrogen bonds</u> with water molecules.

Although there are some potential <u>dispersion forces</u> between the terminal <u>-CH3</u> group of alanine and hexane molecules, we expect the <u>hydrogen bonds</u> between alanine and water to be stronger.

Stronger intermolecular attractive forces between alanine and water lead to a more <u>negative ΔHmix</u> and more <u>negative (smaller positive)</u> ΔHsoln for water than for hexane.

Calculate the pka of hypochlorous acid. The ph of a 0.015 m solution of hypochlorous acid has a ph of 4.64.
o-na [289]

Answer:

  • pKa = 7.46

Explanation:

<u>1) Data:</u>

a) Hypochlorous acid = HClO

b) [HClO} = 0.015

c) pH = 4.64

d) pKa = ?

<u>2) Strategy:</u>

With the pH calculate [H₃O⁺], then use the equilibrium equation to calculate the equilibrium constant, Ka, and finally calculate pKa from the definition.

<u>3) Solution:</u>

a) pH

  • pH = - log [H₃O⁺]

  • 4.64 = - log [H₃O⁺]

  • [H_3O^+]= 10^{-4.64} = 2.29.10^{-5}

b) Equilibrium equation: HClO (aq) ⇄ ClO⁻ (aq) + H₃O⁺ (aq)

c) Equilibrium constant: Ka =  [ClO⁻] [H₃O⁺] / [HClO]

d) From the stoichiometry: [CLO⁻] = [H₃O⁺] = 2.29 × 10 ⁻⁵ M

e) By substitution: Ka = (2.29 × 10 ⁻⁵ M)² / 0.015M = 3.50 × 10⁻⁸ M

f) By definition: pKa = - log Ka = - log (3.50 × 10 ⁻⁸) = 7.46
