- hat does temperature measure? Are the molecules in a beaker of warm water moving at the same speed as the molecules in a beaker of cold water? Explain? What is heat? Is heat the same as temperature?arrow_forwardFor this experiment, you used 0.25 g of sodium bicarbonate, which is a relatively small mass of solid. Identify the potential consequences of using a much larger mass of sodium bicarbonate. The flask could explode. The heat of the reaction might cause boiling. The reaction would not occur. The stopper of the flask could pop off. The temperature of the reaction would decrease significantly.arrow_forwardExplain how the choices consumers make can help limit greenhouse gas emissions and therefore offset the effects of climate change.arrow_forward
- Chlorine atoms contribute to the destruction of the Earths ozone layer by the following sequence of reactions: Cl + O3 ClO + O2 ClO + O Cl + O2 where the O atoms in the second step come from the decomposition of ozone by sunlight: O3(g) O(g) + O2(g) What is the net equation on summing these three equations? Why does this lead to ozone loss in the stratosphere? What is the role played by Cl in this sequence of reactions?

According to your textbook, the accepted value for Kc is 890 at 25°C, which is very different from the value of 260 usually recorded by students. However, students usually run the experiment at a colder temperature, usually 18-20°C. Assuming that the student value for K, is purely due to the lower temperature, determine whether the reaction is endo or exothermic. Explain your logic very carefully and very clearly!arrow_forward
