Answer:

Platinum is used as a catalytic converter

Explanation:

At present, internal combustion vehicles are equipped with an element called catalytic converter, which is one of the most important components for the control of emissions of polluting gases resulting from combustion produced by engines. Its main function is to transform the polluting gases resulting from the burning of fuel into other gases that are more environmentally friendly. This element is located under the vehicle along the exhaust system pipe after the oxygen sensor.

There are different types of catalytic converters, but modern vehicles are equipped with three-way catalytic converters, referring to the three kinds of pollutant gases that must be reduced (CO, HC and NOX). The converter uses two types of catalysts, one of reduction and another of oxidation. Both consist of a ceramic structure covered with normally <u>platinum</u>, rhodium and palladium metal. The main idea was to create a structure that exposes the catalyst surface to the maximum against the flow of exhaust gases, also minimizing the amount of catalyst required since it is very expensive.

When 1.04g of cyclopropane was burnt in excess oxygen in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature rose by 3.69K. The total heat capac
STatiana [176]

Answer:

\Delta _{comb}H=-2,093\frac{kJ}{mol}

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since these calorimetry problems are characterized by the fact that the calorimeter absorbs the heat released by the combustion of the substance, we can write:

Q_{rxn}+Q_{cal}=0

Thus, given the temperature change and the total heat capacity, we obtain the following total heat of reaction:

Q_{rxn}=-14.01kJ/K*3.69K\\\\Q_{rxn}=-51.70kJ

Now, by dividing by the moles in 1.04 g of cyclopropane (42.09 g/mol) we obtain the enthalpy of combustion of this fuel:

n=\frac{1.04g}{42.09g/mol}=0.0247mol\\\\\Delta _{comb}H=\frac{Q_{rxn}}{n}\\\\  \Delta _{comb}H=-2,093\frac{kJ}{mol}

Best regards!

Use coulomb's law to calculate the ionization energy in kj/mol of an atom composed of a proton and an electron separated by 185.
Tems11 [23]
Coulomb's law mathematically is:
F = kQ₁Q₂/r²
we integrate this with respect to distance to obtain the expression for energy:
E = kQ₁Q₂/r; where k is the Coulomb's constant = 9 x 10⁹; Q are the charges, r is the seperation
Charge on proton = charge on electron = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C
E = (9 x 10⁹ x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹) / (185 x 10⁻¹²)
E = 1.24 x 10⁻¹⁸ Joules per proton/electron pair
Number of pairs in one mole = 6.02 x 10²³
Energy = 6.02 x 10²³ x 1.24 x 10⁻¹⁸
= 746.5 kJ

Write a brief passage describing a neutral atom of nitrogen-14 (N-14). Describe the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons i
Inessa [10]
In nitrogen-14, there are 7 protons, 7 neutrons, and 7 electrons. The protons and neutrons are in the nucleus, and the electrons are in the electron shells. The atomic number is the number of protons, the mass number is the number of protons AND neutrons, and the atomic mass is the average of the masses of all isotopes.
