Answer : The activation energy of the reaction is, 17.285\times 10^4kJ/mole

Solution :  

The relation between the rate constant the activation energy is,  

\log \frac{K_2}{K_1}=\frac{Ea}{2.303\times R}\times [\frac{1}{T_1}-\frac{1}{T_2}]

where,

K_1 = initial rate constant = 4.55\times 10^{-5}L/mole\text{ s}

K_2 = final rate constant = 8.75\times 10^{-3}L/mole\text{ s}

T_1 = initial temperature = 195^oC=273+195=468K

T_2 = final temperature = 258^oC=273+258=531K

R = gas constant = 8.314 kJ/moleK

Ea = activation energy

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the activation energy.

\log \frac{8.75\times 10^{-3}L/mole\text{ s}}{4.55\times 10^{-5}L/mole\text{ s}}=\frac{Ea}{2.303\times (8.314kJ/moleK)}\times [\frac{1}{468K}-\frac{1}{531K}]

Ea=17.285\times 10^4kJ/mole

Therefore, the activation energy of the reaction is, 17.285\times 10^4kJ/mole

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

139.8 kJ/mol

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

The activation energy is given by the formula;

Eₐ = R•ln[k₂/k₁]•T₁T₂/(T₂ – T₁)  

After converting ˚C to K:

T1 = 531 K

T2 = 468 k (after converting ˚C to K):  

R = 8.314 J/mol•K

Eₐ = (8.314 J/mol•K) × ln[(3.2 × 10⁻³)/(4.5 × 10⁻⁵)] × (531 K)(468 K)/(531 – 468 K)  

Eₐ = 139.8 kJ/mol

What are the strengths, weaknesses, and implications of risk/benefit analysis as a method for deciding whether a technology shou
meriva

A risk-benefit analysis compares the risks and benefits of a situation and determines whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. 

<h3>What is Risk-benefit analysis in technology?</h3>

Strengths

Risk-benefit analysis calculates the amount of time will be worth it to the production of technology and whether the technology will have a healthy impact on the industry or not.

Weaknesses

Risk-benefit analysis cannon determine product implementation and the outcomes of real life experiences of individual customers. It has some drawbacks like benefits of customer is take under consideration but pollution in nature is not calculated.

Implication

Risk-benefit analysis is implied in almost all technical industry as it the decision maker of any developing team to work on a particular project or not. Some examples are automobile industry and smartphone industry.

An atom has the following electron configuration 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4 . How many valence electrons does this Atom have
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

6

Explanation:

This atom is sulfur (if the electrons are equal to the protons/not an ion). You can tell the number of valence electrons by looking at the individual shell. The first shell (1s) can only hold 2 electrons. The second shell (2s and 2p) can hold 8 electrons. The third shell (3s and 3p), which is the valence shell, only has 6 out of its possible 8 electrons, so this atom has 6 valence electrons.

*WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!<br> Why is it difficult for us to use fusion reactions to produce energy?
kolbaska11 [484]
Fusion occurs constantly on our sun, which produces most of its energy via the nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium. Neither do fusion reactions produce the large amounts of dangerous radioactive waste that fission reactions do. That's why it's such a dreamy source of energy.

Does the temperature of the solvent (water) affect the rate of dissolving?​
gregori [183]
Yes. Heating up the solvent gives the molecules more kinetic energy. The more rapid motion means that the solvent molecules collide with the solute with greater frequency and the collisions occur with more force. Both factors increase the rate at which the solute dissolves.
