This unit discusses in detail the role of catalysts to lower the activation energy of reactions. The term catalyst appears in nonscientific discussions to refer to something that provokes or speeds significant change or action. Consider this example from the 2006 Associated Press article "Chernobyl cover-up a catalyst for glasnost":

"For the Soviet Union, Chernobyl was a catalyst that forced the government into an unprecedented show of openness that paved the way for reforms leading to the Soviet collapse"

Discuss how this scientific term has made its way into common usage. Does the term catalyst carry the same meaning in regular usage? How is it used differently in a scientific context compared to a nonscientific contexte​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

It can be brought into regular conversation easily I feel it means to "provoke" or "speeds significant change or action" I can see someone saying that in a conversation, "chlorine acts as a catalyst promoting the breakdown of ozone".

I would say it would take the same meaning depending on how you say it and when and what the context of what you're saying it in. 

For scientists, it means to change quickly. For someone who says it in a conversation may be saying to stop provoking someone.

CaC2(s) + 2H2O(l) --> Ca(OH)2(aq) + C2H2(g) In the reaction above, 0.5487 grams of calcium carbide are completely consumed to produce acetylene gas, C2H2. What volume (in mL) will this gas occupy if it is collected at 43 degrees Celsius and 0.926 atm pressure

Answers

Answer:

239.7mL

Explanation:

Using the general gas equation;

PV = nRT

Where;

P = pressure (atm)

V = volume (L)

n = number of moles (mol)

R = gas constant (0.0821 Latm/molK)

T = temperature (K)

The balanced chemical equation in this question is as follows:

CaC2(s) + 2H2O(l) --> Ca(OH)2(aq) + C2H2(g)

From the equation, 1 mole of CaC2 produces 1 mole of ethylene gas, C2H2.

Using mole = mass/molar mass

Molar mass of CaC2 = 40 + 12(2)

= 40 + 24

= 64g/mol

mole = 0.5487/64

mole = 0.00857mol of CaC2

Hence, 0.00857mol of CaC2 produced 0.00857mol of C2H2

Based on the information provided, n = 0.00857mol, T = 43°C = 43 + 273 = 316K, p = 0.926 atm

PV = nRT

V = nRT/P

V = 0.00857 × 0.0821 × 316/0.926

V = 0.222/0.926

V = 0.2397L

In mL, volume = 0.2397 × 1000

= 239.7mL

do i have to know the chemical and physical properties of alloys? only chemistry students answer this.

Answers

Answer:

yes you do so you know how strong it is how maluble it's is so it can be customised to it's specific use

Answer:

alloy's properties are usually different from those of its component elements. Alloy constituents are usually measured by mass. Unlike pure metals, most alloys do not have a single melting point; rather, they have a melting range in which the substance is a mixture of solid and liquid.

physical properties of alloys:-

Alloy steels have a wide range of special properties, such as hardness, toughness, corrosion resistance, magnetizability, and ductility. Nonferrous alloys, mainly copper–nickel, bronze, and aluminum alloys, are much used in coinage.

chemical properties of alloys:-

Pure metals are useful but their applications are often limited to each individual metal's properties. Alloys allow metal mixtures that have increased resistance to oxidation, increased strength, conductivity, and melting point; Essentially any property can be manipulated by adjusting alloy concentrations.

Many ski resorts and mountain cities can be reached directly by planes which deposit travelers a mile or more above sea level. This can result in altitude sickness due to hypoxemia, or reduced oxygen in the blood, caused by the unaccustomed exposure to the lower atmospheric pressure at high elevations. On a given day, the prevailing atmospheric pressure in Albuquerque, NM (elevation 1620 meters) might be 0.799 atm. Calculate this pressure expressed in mmHg and in torr. Relationship between altitude and barometric pressure.

Answers

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

To convert from atm to mmHg

1 atm = 760 mmHg

0.799 atm = 0.799 atm * 760 mmHg/1 atm = 607.24 mmHg

To convert from atm to torr

1 atm = 760 torr

0.799 atm = 0.799 atm * 760 torr/1 atm = 607.24 torr

An alpha particle is composed of He2+ ions?
true or false​

Answers

Answer: The given statement is False.

Explanation:

Alpha particle is a helium nuclei.

Alpha particles are produced when a larger nuclei decays into smaller nuclei in radioactive decay. Alpha particles have mass number and atomic number as 4 and 2 respectively.

General representation of alpha decay :

[tex]^A_Z\textrm{X}\rightarrow ^{A-4}_{Z-2}\textrm{Y}+^4_2\textrm{He}[/tex]

Thus the given statement that alpha particle is composed of [tex]He^{2+}[/tex] ions is False.

The statement of [tex]\rm He^2^+[/tex] ions has formed the alpha particles is true.

Alpha particles are particles that have been similar to the He-4, with the presence of two protons and two neutrons. The alpha particles have the absence of electrons and have been formed during the alpha decay.

[tex]\rm He^2^+[/tex] has been the ion of He with the positive charge indicating the loss of 2 electrons. Thus, in [tex]\rm He^2^+[/tex], there has been 2 protons, 2 neutrons, and 0 electrons.

The atomic configuration of [tex]\rm He^2^+[/tex]has been similar to the alpha particles. Thus, the statement stating, "the alpha particles to be composed of [tex]\rm He^2^+[/tex]ions " is True.

Answers

Answer:

9 moles

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation for this decomposition reaction is as follows:

2KCIO3 → 2KCI+ 302

Based on this equation, 2 moles of potassium chlorate (KCIO3) decomposes to form 3 moles of oxygen gas (O2).

Hence, 6 moles of pottasium chlorate will decompose to produce;

6 × 3 ÷ 2

= 18 ÷ 2

= 9 moles of O2.

1400 mL

800.0 mL

Answers

Answer:

1. B. Ammonia and hexane will not dissolve because one molecule is polar and the other is non polar.

2. 1400 mL

Explanation:

In chemistry, like dissolve like! Ammonia is a polar molecule having a significant dipole moment owing to its three N-H bonds. On the other hand, hexane is a purely non-polar hydrocarbon hence the two substances can never dissolve in each other.

From the dilution formula;

C1V1=C2V2

C1= Initial concentration of the solution

V1 = Initial volume of the solution

C2 = Final concentration of the solution

V2= Final volume of the solution

2.8 M * 750.0 mL = 1.5 M * V2

V2 = 2.8 M * 750.0 mL/1.5 M

V2 = 1400 mL

Instead of dining out on a meal of seafood sausage, crusty bread, and cheese, you walk over to a well-known fast-food restaurant for a hamburger. For many tourists, the sight of familiar logos and menus from home are in enough locations that they might even forget they are in a different country!When people speak of globalization, they are referring to the movement and integration of people and goods from different countries. In an ideal world, globalization is good for sharing ideas, building economies, and helping countries discuss ways to work together. Globalization has been held up as the solution to many world problemsfrom overcoming poverty to better treatment of workers.There are other areas in which globalization is easy to see, such as in music, television, and movies. Social apps used for communication are also in use around the world. This brings another level of influence from the country creating them.However, there is one disadvantage that accompanies this globalization. Quite simply, globalization kills cultures. And when cultures become lost, so can the national identities of a group and a people.Why?Corporations and large businesses have brands to sell. When one city after the next brings only a handful of these companies into their country, it turns cities into clones of each other. In the race of some countries to take over markets in other countries, the unique aspects of cultural identity get left behind. Those fast-food restaurants and coffee shops are great for business and the economybut at what price?While different languages might distinguish Paris, London, Milan, and Berlin, it is hard to ignore the rapidly increasing sight of American influence. Restaurants, stores, and even theme parks have found their way into various locations in Europe. A person may feel comforted by the sight of a sandwich chain and may even know exactly what item on the menu they want to order. But the restaurants presence in a foreign country is symbolic of something much bigger; the values of a dominating culture have seeped into many other cultures. And because of the promise of financial success in a region that has possibly struggled for profitable business, that culture dismisses their own values and identity for something that appears to be more valuable.What effect does this have on a cultures ability to remain important, especially in the lives of young people? Advertising, created by the influence of western culture, now heavily influences them. Much of what is put forth as desirable is in an effort to sell something and make money. Unfortunately, what is popular at the time will change very quickly. With slick advertising that is seen repeatedly, people are persuaded to part with their hard-earned money in a never-ending quest to buy products that they are convinced will improve their lives.Another area that shows the impact of globalization is fashion. T-shirts and jeans are normal for casual wear. Business suits are worn for professional purposes. Traditional clothing from various countries has not disappeared altogether, as it is worn generally for special occasions such as festivals or performances. But there remains the risk of these celebrations becoming less important as the cultures values keep changing.Gone is the traditional clothing created generations ago. Gone is the music one may have heard as a child. Gone is the heritage of a people in favor of buying the latest digital technology or clothing. Stories, history, and connection have been sacrificed.How will the young people know who they are without the rich and meaningful traditions of their ancestors? What happens to cultures not rooted in financial success?Here is a scenario: Think of a grandmother in the United States out with her daughter, son-in-law, and grandchild. Maybe they are eating at a fast-food restaurantsomething which the grandmother has never done except in the last 20 years. The television is blaring overhead with graphic music videos and commercials selling sports cars. Her children are staring at their mobile phones. Her grandson is playing with a computer tablet. The bright lights of the computers and thumping beat of music drown out the possibility of having a meaningful conversation.How does this grandmother communicate the importance of their familys culture and traditions to younger family members? How does she convey the way her grandmother sang while weaving intricate blankets, or how her grandfather explained the meaning of her name?Sadly, with increasing difficulty.
