Manufacturing traditional clayware ceramics typically involves driving off the water of hydration in the clay minerals. The rate

constant for the dehydration of kaolinite, a common clay mineral, is 1×10−4s−1 at 485 ∘c and 1×10−3s−1 at 525 ∘c. Calculate the activation energy for the dehydration of kaolinite.

The relation between activation energy, rate constant and temperature is given by Arrhenius equation

Arrhenius equation is

ln (K2/ K1) = Ea / R (1/T1- 1/T2)

K2 =  1×10−3s−1  T2 =  525 ∘C = 798 K

K1 = 1×10−4s−1  T1 =  485 ∘c = 758 K

Ea = ?

R = gas constant = 8.314 J / mol K

ln (K2/ K1) = ln (10^-3 / 10^-4) = 2.303 = Ea /8 .314 (1/758 - 1 / 798)

2.303 = Ea / 8.314 (0.00132 - 0.00125)

Ea = 2.303 X 8.314 / (0.00132 - 0.00125)  = 273530.6 J / mole

Ea = activation energy = 273.531 kJ / mole

Find the molarity of 186.55 g of sugar (C12H22O11) in 250. mL of water.
Anna [14]

Answer:

The molarity of this sugar solution in water is 2.18 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of sugar (C12H22O11) = 186.55 grams

Molar mass of C12H22O11 = 342.3 g/mol

Volume of water = 250.0 mL = 0.250 L

Step 2: Calculate moles sugar

Moles sugar = mass sugar / molar mass sugar

Moles sugar = 186.55 grams / 342.3 g/mol

Moles sugar = 0.545 moles

Step 3: Calculate molarity of the sugar solution

Molarity = moles sugar / volume of water

Molarity = 0.545 moles / 0.250 L

Molarity = 2.18 MThe molarity of this sugar solution in water is 2.18 M

Which of the following compounds has polar covalent bonds: NaBr, Br2, HBr, and CBr4?
svetlana [45]

Answer: Option (e) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A bond that is formed when an electron is transferred from one atom to another results in the formation of an ionic bond.

For example, NaBr will be an ionic compound as there is transfer of electron from Na to Br.

Whereas a bond that is formed by sharing of electrons is known as a covalent bond.

For example, CBr_{4} will be a covalent compound as there is sharing of electron between carbon and bromine atom.

Also, when electrons are shared between the combining atoms and there is large difference in electronegativity of these atoms then partial charges develop on these atoms. As a result, it forms a polar covalent bond.

For example, in a HBr compound there is sharing of electrons between H and Br. Also, due to difference in electronegativity there will be partial positive charge on H and partial negative charge on Br.  

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options HBr is the only compound that has polar covalent bonds.

2. Your company currently uses a process with a similar cost of materials that has an
lyudmila [28]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The returns of the company as it is given is already large that is 91% and to get an outcome even better is what it is getting now. There should be certain improvements that needs to be applied  with the </em><em>help of stoichiometric data gathered. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Since the cost of materials cannot be affected and have to be bought under similar rate of cost of working or process can be decreased. By using  machines calculation and mechanical devices this come would be accurate and the laws would be minimised. Hence the companies outcome would increase.

The nitrogen content of organic compounds can be determined by the Dumas method. The compound in question is first reacted by pa
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

Mass percent of nitrogen in the compound is 13,3%

Explanation:

Dumas method is an analytical method to determine nitrogen content in samples, thus:

CₐHₓNₙ + (2a+x/2) CuO  → aCO₂ +  ˣ/₂ H₂O +  ⁿ/₂ N₂ + (2a+x/2) Cu

As the CO₂ is removed with KOH, in the mixture you have H₂O and N₂

At 25°C. the vapor pressure of water is 23,8 torr, that means that the pressure due to N₂ is:

726torr - 23,8torr = 702,2 torr.

Using gas law:

n = PV/RT

Where:

P is pressure (702,2torr≡ 0,924 atm)

V is volume (0,0318L)

R is gas constant (0,082atmL/molK)

And T is temperature (25°C≡298,15K)

Replacing, number of moles of N₂, n, are:

n = 1,20x10⁻³moles of N₂. In grams:

1,20x10⁻³moles of N₂×\frac{28g}{1mol} =<em> 0,0336 g of N₂</em>.

Thus, mass percent of nitrogen in the compound is:

\frac{0,0336g N}{0,253gSample}×100= <em>13,3%</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!
