Question Find out the product of the following reaction Initially I thought that the conditions are favourable for Cannizzaro Reaction, but I was instructed (by the book) that it would not give that reaction. I guessed and made a product and request verification from the experts in this topic...

Momentum in rigid bodies; In this problem when I draw all the forces acting on the disc A, would the reactions: Ax, Ay; W, Friction, normal force; I do not understand is how to check that Ay = W, that's what I understand from the solution. Anyone have any tips on how to treat reactions in such...

Homework Statement A neutron strikes a Plutonium-239 (239Pu) nucleus and creates Barium-142 (142Ba). What other element is created? Homework EquationsThe Attempt at a Solution I actually have no idea...could someone just start me off? Thanks!

I can't seem to find the answer I'm looking for on this, or at least one I understand. Can someone explain why a reaction will proceed if the binding energy of the reactants is larger than the products? I would assume that larger binding energy means the reactants are more stable and so will...

Hello, I was working on a textbook problem that was referencing a paper regarding the mechanism for the production of Terephthalic acid (TPA). It piqued my interest so I found the original paper and did some reading. At least in 1987 when this paper was published, the intermediate reactions were...

Hello, I am confused a little bit on why for a reaction with a given activation energy, one should run at high temperatures if the activation energy of the desirable product, D, is greater than the undesirable product, U. To illustrate this, I have an example with two reactions ##A + B...

Hi all, I am really confused at how bubbles are removed in a chemical reaction. Generally it is removed by diffusion...But is there any quantitative equation for that like adhesion energy...? I want to go in this direction to quantitatively analyse the conditions that bubbles are attached or...

We know that a charged particle will have a drift velocity in both a curved magnetic field and when there is a transverse spatial gradient in the magnitude of the magnetic field. This drift velocity is added to the rotation velocity around the the field line. In both cases the force vector on...

Homework Statement The second-order rate constant for the reaction A+2B --> 2C+D is 0.34 dm3/mol s. What is the concentration of C after 20 s and 15 min if the initial concentrations were [A] = 0.027 mol/dm3 and [ B] = 0.130 mol/dm3 Homework Equations The integrated rate law for A+2B --> P...

Hi, I wonder if you guys could help me. During the summer I used a mould spray on upvc windows which contained anionic surfactants with chlorine bleaching agents. I rinsed this off but it left a white film on the glass and so I used a household cleaner called Flash which has < 5 % Non-ionic...

If in the bottom of the bucket with water we made a hole, then water flows out of it. Bucket with water is the system with ##m(t)##, thus we have to use equation: ##m(t)\frac{dv}{dt} = F + u\frac{dm}{dt}##. Where ##u\frac{dm}{dt}## -- is jet reaction force. But, I think the jet reaction force...

Consider a scenario where two individuals—Robert and Stuart—are under- taking a joint project, where the value generated from the project depends on the effort expended by both individuals. Let x be Robert’s level of effort and y the level of effort of Stuart; the value of the project for each...

Greetings While on an elk hunting trip in the mountains we awoke to roughly 2 feet of snow. Everyone wanted coffee and nobody had brought any conventional coffee tools. A cowboy boiled water in an aluminum pot just dumped coffee grounds in the water. Naturally a lot of those grounds floated...

This may seem like a really basic question (I'm teaching lower school science, and it's not my specialism!), but: What causes the force which balances gravity, which I think is called "ground reaction force?" All the descriptions I've seen say that the ground "pushes" up on a stationary...

Hi. I have a lab that concerns this reaction as follows: S2O8 2- + 2e- = 2SO4 2- Can anyone give me a hint as to why this reaction would NOT (and indeed does not as found in the lab) have a potential of ~ 2V from the H+/H2 reference? What is preventing the reaction from reaching its maximum...

Okay, so that is the master.chem problem that I am struggling with. I feel I understand what's going on... Nickle is the anode that should be losing two electrons. What am I doing wrong according to mastering chemistry? I feel this is an issue with how I am writing things? Or am I missing the...

Since D-D fusion releases H-3 + p and He-3 + n, how does the reaction He-3(n,p)H-3 occurring affect measurement of fusion rate by neutron count? In other words, do I have to take He-3 absorbing neutrons into account while calculating the fusion rate or in what conditions can I neglect it...

Hello, I am looking at reactions that change volume during the reaction, for example ammonia synthesis N_{2} + 3H_{2} \rightleftharpoons 2NH_{3} where it is clear that the products are less moles than the reactants. However, I am thinking of a scenario in a plug flow reactor where this is...

Hi, I am a little confused with the concept of action reaction pair of forces. Does this depend on mass? For example, if a train engine is pulling a buggy with force F, what would be the force applied by the buggy on the engine? The masses of the two are different and there is force of...

I have a simple question let's say object hits the wall at angle and reflect. Will reaction force from that impact exerted on wall be red line or green line ? ( I would like explanation why in each case)

Hello, In class, my professor said that in a CSTR, the reaction rate is constant throughout a well mixed CSTR. He said in most cases, a PFR will react faster than a CSTR. I can see how the PFR will have a fast reaction rate at the entrance to the tube, and slowest at the exit. However, what...

I want to ask the rate of reaction of organic compound is slower or higher than that of inorganic compound?? I have found an ansswer like that : The organic paricles are molecules. Because of strong covalent bonding within the molecule, organic compounds do not readily react. Reactions...

While rubbing the plastic rod with the wool causes the building up of charges on both of them. 1. What chemical reaction takes place between them. 2. Does it create anions and cations? 3. Is it the transfer of free electrons (I don't think so, because generally they are bad conductor of...

Hello, I am wondering, why is it that ##\frac {d[C]}{dt} \ne k[C]## in general, where ##C## is a chemical species, and the product ##k[C]## is the reaction rate, ##r##. ##r_{c} = k[C]## My thoughts is that because the units aren't necessarily the same, therefore they can't be the same. But I...

Hello everyone, I was recently creating two different types of plasma for a Science Fair, one created from ionised Helium, (although it's the party balloon stuff, and I hear there's some Oxygen in them) and the other was created from air. I was testing how the plasmas reacted to magnetic fields...

tert-butyl bromide + MeOK in MeOH -----> I would think that MeOK would dissociate in solution making it MeO- which would be strong enough to yank a proton off tert-butyl bromide and initiate an E2 reaction. Where am I going wrong? PS - I am a tutor who hasn't done organic chemistry for a...

Please look at the image. For (b) and (c), what the solution manual says makes no sense to me. You're reacting a primary alkyl halide with an unhindered base EtONa. They say that the only product is the alkene. Why do they not consider the SN2 reaction that WILL take place in larger quantity...

Homework Statement Peroxydisulfate ion reacts with the iodide anion according to reaction 1: S2O82- + 3 I-⇔ 2 SO42- + I3- The amount of I3- formed can be determined by adding a known amount of SsO32- and allowing it to react according to reaction 2: 2 S2O32- + I3- ⇔ S4O62- + 3I-...

I have a molecule with a certain kinetic, vibrational, and rotational energy. It absorbs a photon which excites a vibrational mode. I want to find an equation that describes how the molecules reaction rate with another molecule might change given the added vibrational energy. Is there a name...

I want to pump energy into a chemical species to increase its reaction cross section with another. Typically these species react upon collision when their relative kinetic energy exceeds the activation energy. I want to find a way to increase the reaction rate for interactions at slower...

When is an Elimination 2 reaction more likely to take place than any other reaction (more likely than SN1, SN2, E1)? Details and examples welcome. I'm reviewing this for a student I'm tutoring and seem to have forgotten what makes E2 happen over the other reactions. Thanks!

Homework Statement why must ammonia present in excess in order to get mono-substituted primary amine Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution

What type of fusion reaction generates the most neutrons? All I've been able to find information for is D-D fusion and D-T fusion.

Definition/Summary Between two bodies in contact, there is a pair of Reaction Forces. They are always equal but opposite (this is precisely Newton's third law), and so it is usual (though slightly misleading) to refer to "the Reaction Force", in the singular. The component of the Reaction...

Action and reaction are equal and opposite,but why don't they cancell ?... Unlike other forces, like for example.. it a body is pressed from top and below with a same force.. the body stays there and its said that the forces cancell out.. why not here ?
