1) To find the change in enthalpy, determine the difference between the potential energy of the products and the potential energy of the reactants. (on this diagram, C-A) To find the activation energy, find the difference between the potential energy of the reactants and the "peak" of the curve (on this diagram, B-A). For this diagram, both the enthalpy and activation energy are positive.

2) If the reaction was exothermic, enthalpy would be negative, and the potential energy of the reactants would be greater than the potential energy of the products.

Answer:

she can use crystalization method.

Explanation:

She should boil that liquid on flame and then cool it down on mederate temprature and check it out rather the crystals formed or not . if crystals are formed then there will be salts.

And if she want topredict the certain salt then she has to perform certain reactions.

The acetic acid/acetate buffer system is a common buffer used in the laboratory. Write the equilibrium equation for the acetic a

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

CH₃CO₂H + H₂O ⇄ CH₃CO₂⁻ + H₃O⁺

Explanation:

A buffer is defined as the mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base or vice versa.

For the acetic acid buffer, CH₃CO₂H is the weak acid and its conjugate base is the ion without H⁺, that is CH₃CO₂⁻. The equilibrium equation in water knowing this is:

<em>In the equilibrium, the acid is dissociated in the conjugate base and the hydronium ion.</em>
