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.

Both hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) have strong, unpleasant odors. Which gas has the higher effusion rate? If you open

wlad13 [49]

Answer: The molar mass of H2S is greater than the molar mass of NH3, making the velocity and effusion rate of NH3 particles faster. Effusion rate is inversely proportional to molar mass.

Precipitation reactions always occur when two aqueous solutions are mixed (T/F)

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer: The given statement is false.

Explanation:

Precipitation reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which two aqueous solution upon mixing together results in the formation of an insoluble solid.

For example, $NaCl(aq) + AgNO_{3} \rightarrow NaNO_{3}(aq) + AgCl(s)$

Here AgCl is present in solid state so, it is the precipitate.

But it is not necessarily true that two aqueous solutions will always result in the formation of a precipitate.

For example, $NaCl(aq) + KNO_{3}(aq) \rightarrow KCl(aq) + NaNO_{3}(aq)$

Hence, we can conclude that the statement precipitation reactions always occur when two aqueous solutions are mixed, is false.

Compare the reactivity between lithium and sodium towards oxygen.

Scrat [10]

Reactivity of Group 1 and 2 elements increases as you go down the periodic table. So sodium is more reactive than lithium. Sodium will react with oxygen forming Na2O (sodium oxide). Lithium forms lithium oxide (Li2O).

Sodium metal is sometimes used as a cooling agent in heat exchange units because of its relatively high molar heat capacity of 2

IgorC [24]

Answer:

The specific heat of sodium is 1,23J/g°C

Explanation:

Using the atomic weight of sodium (23g/mol) and the atomic weight definition, we have that each mole of the substance has 23 grams of sodium.

starting from this, we use the atomic weight of sodium to convert the units from J / mol ° C to J / g ° C

$28,2 \frac{J}{mol C} x \frac{1mol}{23g} = 1,23 J/g C$
