the reaction of H and F produces about 500 kj/mol of energy: how much energy is produced by the reaction of 2.0kg of H with 38 kg of F to produce 2 kmol of HF? The answer is 5.0x 10 to the exponent 5 kJ... but I'm not sure why... Please help! Thanks!

What is the easiest way you can tell or find out if oxygen is produced in a certain reaction? Or in other words, how can one prove that a certain reaction releases oxygen? The answer cannot deal with combustion. I searched on google, and couldn't quite get an answer. I thought about it for...

1) Explain how the "snap" of a wet towel is produced 2) Describe how a bat uses sound to find its way around 3)Why is is difficult for an aircraft to break through a sound barrier? if anyone can answer these questions it would be a lot of help. THANK

Lets imagine the wavefunction psy(x,y) and with this the probability distribution |psi(x,y)|^2 of the position of an electron is given. psy(x,y) is a two dimensional wave function. So how can I find the electric field strength produced by this electon at position x=3, y=2?

Hi, My question: Explain how an electromagnetic wave is produced? My Answer A charged particle produces an electric field. the electric field exerts a force charged particles. Positive charges accelerate in the direction of the field and negative charges accelerate in the direction...

I'm having a bit difficulty in understanding this question... In a Hydrogen aton, an electron goes round the proton at a rate of 7 x 10^5 rev/s in a circular orbit of radius 5.0 x 10^-11 What is the current produced by the revolution of electron? Well, the formula for current is Q/t and...

I was reading aboot sono-luminescence, and the researcher from llnl, that thought that he had (mistakenly) produced nuclear fusion. With all of the info available that I could find aboot sono-luminescence...it all seems to come down to 'how fascinating, but we don't much aboot it'. With that in...

If an alien species produced memories using process involving an overall negative entropy change, would it have memories from our future? It would appear to us as though these alien memories were being destroyed with an overall positive entropy change (since in our perception every reaction...

I do not know what to solve for...? One recargable battery of mass 15g delivers to a cd player an average current of 1.80mA at 1.60 V for 2.4hours before the battery needs to be recharged. The recharger maintains a potential difference of 2.30v across the battery and delivers a charging...

A flash light is pointed at a wall so that the angle between the beam and the wall is 65 degrees a) which conic section is produced? I am not sure if this is asking for the shape but I think the answer is an ellipse b) How would you adjuct the angle of the beam to produce a circle on the...

I am trying to understand the mechanisms for room temperature thermal radiation which is in the far infrared range. I have been told that photon emission in the infrared range occurs as a result of a reduction in the vibrational energy of molecules. Is this the same as phonons? How does a phonon...
