Answers

When heated, the pure 100% acid loses sulfur trioxide gas, SO3, until a constant-boiling solution, or azeotrope, containing about 98.5% H2SO4 is formed at 337°C. ... When hot it is an oxidizing agent, the sulfur in it being reduced; sulfur dioxide gas may be released

Explanation:

Sulfuric acid is a great proton source. In organic chemistry, H2SO4 and other acids can be used as acid catalysts for reactions like alcohol dehydration. ... Heating up the solution of dilute sulfuric acid is a necessary component to overcome the activation barrier needed for your particular reaction.

Answer from: Quest

$\frac{239}{94}pu+\frac{1}{0}n ====> \frac{y}{z}x+\frac{134}{54}xe+3\frac{1}{0}$

the catch is that the top numbers are atomic masses the bottom numbers are the numbers of protons and electrons in an uncharged atom. they are the number of that atoms as you would find them on the periodic table. further, the numbers on the left are used to determine the missing numbers on the right

so here we go

atomic mass

239 + 1 = y + 134 + 3 combine like terms

240 = y + 137 subtract 137 from both terms

240 - 137 = y

103 = y

atomic number

94 = z +54 + 0

94 = z + 54 subtract 54 from both sides.

40 = z

answer

$\frac{103}{40}x=\frac{103}{40}zr$

Answer from: Quest

Aphysical change is one that you can put in and remove like a ham sandwich. the stuff you put in there can be changem its not permanet. a chemical change is on that can't be change thats permanet. like when you make a cake and bake it. you can't get those ingredients back.
