Alka seltzer contains 1916 mg of NaHCO3 and 1000 mg of citric acid. According to some descriptions of the reaction between alka-seltzer and water and then HCl (in stomach), there is an excess of NaHCO3 in the alka-seltzer in relation to the citric acid and the benefits from alka-seltzer come...

In the late 19th early 20th century, sulfuric acid production was a huge deal, and even today, conversion of SO2 to SO3 (contact process) is something that people take great pains to optimize. But I also see references here on physics forums as well as elsewhere which assert that sulfur dioxide...

Homework Statement The standard free energy of activation of a reaction A is 83.7 kJ/mol at 298K. Reaction B is 10 million times faster at the same temperature. The products of each reaction are 10 kJ/mol more stable than the reactants. (a) What is the standard free energy of activation of...

I think I already know the answer to this, but I can't find an easy reliable source online. Does KP predict reaction direction in the same way as KC? i.e. If KP is greater than 1, the reaction favors the products, and if it is less than 1 it favors the reactants? Or is it just that if KP is...

1. Homework Statement A student was investigating the reaction between sodium thiosulfate solution and dilute hydrochloric acid. As the reaction takes place a precipitate of sulfur forms in the solution and makes the solution change from colourless (and clear) to pale yellow (and opaque). The...

The reaction is shown in the image attached. So the lone pair over O goes into making a bond with C. But why does it create a + over O? A + means the number of protons are one more than electrons, or deficiency of 1 electron. But if the lone pair is used up for making a bond, shouldn't it result...

The question is: The rate equation for the reaction A2 + B2 -> 2C (all gases) is rate = k[A2]2[B2]. If the gaseous reaction misture is compressed to half its original volume, by what factor will the reaction rate change. Assume temperature is constant. My thoughts are that the reaction rate...

this is related to the following thread: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/gravitys-reaction-force.28395/ (but it doesn't seem to accept more replies so i posted here) my cuestions are: - ¿if gravity depends on mass, how come we define a black hole as an object so massive that photons (mass...

I have a question about this reaction, I don't exactly know what I'm going to get (University coursework question). Reaction C4H10O + CaSO4 + HF --> ?

Why in the Law of Mass Action we raise the concentrations of the reactants to the power of their coefficients according to the stoichiometry of the chemical reaction, while the order of the reaction must be determined experimentally ? I may not understand the difference between them.

It's an easy question, let's consider this reaction: ##N+\nu_e \rightarrow e^{-}+P## Is this reaction possible? If is not, what does violate? (I think is possible because charge is conserved, baryon, lepton and fermion numbers are conserved. But I'm not totally sure)

Hello, I was wondering if someone knew what product/chemical could turn the clear Dettol antibacterial spray fluorescent yellow. I sprayed some Dettol onto a bit of kitchen towel and wiped my tap with it and the Dettol on the kitchen towel instantly turned fluorescent yellow. I tried it again...

I have also posted this question here: Relationship between surface area of electrode and reaction rate of hydrogen in fuel cells, but I really need an answer before tomorrow morning so I hope you don't mind me posting it here as well! I am looking at the effects of increasing the surface area...

Hi, Can anyone explain me that in chemical kinetics, the rate of reaction can be determined by just determining the rate of any reactant of product involved in the reaction, but how? How the rate of change of concentration of just one specie can tell you about the whole reaction? I found the...

I understand that in a rollercoaster loop, two forces combine to make the centripetal force required to keep the cart moving in a circular path - the cart's weight, and the reaction force of the track against the cart (except in the special case where the cart's weight alone is sufficient for...

Homework Statement A simple and very violent chemical reaction is H + H -> H_2 + 5 eV (1eV = 1.6x10^-19 J, a healthy amount of energy on the atomic scale). However, when hydrogen atoms collide in free space they simply bounce apart! The reason is that it is impossible to satisfy the laws of...

Disclaimer: I've never had a chemistry class in my life. I'm reading a journal article that states the following: S2O32- + 2O2 + H2O → 2SO42- + 2H+ has the standard Gibbs energy of −766 kJ/mol at 25ºC. So, this is energy produced per moles of what?! Reactant? Product? If so, which reactant or...

I was thinking about this: Let's consider a dissociation of some chemical that can run in both directions: AB\rightleftharpoons A^{+}+B^{-} Dissociated form is soluble in a solvent and undissociated form is not - it precipitates. Then the reaction proceeds to the left much faster than to the...

The atmosphere consists of two toxic, and unfortunately abundant gases in our atmosphere. Carbon dioxide and methane. Carbon dioxide produced by factories are not needed in the atmosphere and cause harm. So is methane. Acegikmoqsuwy and I thought of an equation to solve this problem: CH4 + CO2...

Is it right to say sulfur dioxide is oxidized to sulfuric acid? SO2 is converted into H2SO4, hydrogen is added so it should be reduction rather than oxidation.

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...
