- . What does it mean to say that all chemical reactions are, to one extent or another, reversible?arrow_forwardRefer to Figure 8.10 and answer the questions. Would you expect a crushed antacid tablet like Alka-Seltzer to dissolve faster or slower than a whole tablet? Explain.arrow_forwardHydrogen chloride gas dissolves in water to form hydrochloric acid (an ionic solution). HCl(g)H2OH+(aq)+Cl(aq) Find H for the above reaction. The data are given in Table 6.2.arrow_forward
- Identify the first chemical step in the production of Portland cement. How is this reaction related to the chemistry that takes place in the carbonation of concrete?arrow_forwardClassify the following processes according to their rates as very slow, slow, or fast: a.The souring of milk stored in a refrigerator b.The cooking of an egg in boiling water c.The rusting of a shovel left in the garden over the winter d.The growing of corn during a warm summer e.The burning of a lighted match.arrow_forwardSubstances that poison a catalyst pose a major concern for many engineering designs, including those for catalytic converters. One design option is to add materials that react with potential poisons before they reach the catalyst. Among the commonly encountered catalyst poisons are silicon and phosphorus, which typically form phosphate or silicate ions in the oxidizing environment of an engine. Group 2 elements are added to the catalyst to react with these contaminants before they reach the working portion of the catalytic converter. If estimates show that a catalytic converter will be exposed to 625 g of silicon during its lifetime, what mass of beryllium would need to be included in the design?arrow_forward
- Classify each of the reactions according to one of the four reaction types summarized in Table 18.1. (a) C6H12O6(s) + 6 O2(g) 6 CO2(g) + 6 H2O() rH = 673 kj/mol-rxn rS = 60.4 j/K mol-rxn (b) MgO(s) + C(graphite) Mg(s) + CO(g) rH = 490.7 kJ/mol-rxn rS = 197.9 J/K mol-rxn TABLE 18.1 Predicting Whether a Reaction Will Be Spontaneous Under Standard Conditionsarrow_forwardThe internal energy of a system is said to be the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of all the particles in the system. Section 10. 1 discusses potential energy and kinetic energy in terms of a ball on a hill. Explain potential energy and kinetic energy for a chemical reaction.arrow_forwardIn experiment #7, you observed the formation of carbon dioxide by reacting baking soda with vinegar. Why was it not possible to relight the candle? A. Carbon dioxide is heavier than air so it stays in the beaker preventing the candle from relighting. B. Carbon dioxide is lighter than air so it escaped from the beaker and the candle should have relit. C. Carbon dioxide is heavier than air so it stays in the beaker and the candle should have relit. D. Carbon dioxide is lighter than air so it escaped from the beaker preventing the candle from relighting.arrow_forward
- A chemical reaction can have only one rate-limiting step. Do you agree or disagree? Justify your answer.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is an application of the influence of temperature on chemical reaction rates? a. a solution is heated so more sugar can be dissolved in it b. food is put into a refrigerator to keep it from spoiling c. water is evaporated from a salt-water solution in order to recover solid salt d. more than one response is correctarrow_forwardHydrogen, when combined with oxygen in a chemical reaction, forms water. This is an example of which type of chemical reaction?arrow_forward
