Which of the following is true about a spontaneous process? it releases energy, it does not require any external action to begi,

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A spontaneous reaction is defined as the process which tends to occur on its own. It does not require any external factor or force in order to start itself.

For example, when we dissolve KCl in water then potassium chloride being ionic in nature will dissolve on its own. Hence, it will be a spontaneous process.

And, a non-spontaneous reaction is defined as a process for the completion of which we have to provide certain conditions.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement it does not require any external action to begin, is true about a spontaneous process.

Select the keyword or phrase that will best complete each sentence. A tetrahedral carbon is____hybridized while a linear carbon
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Explanation:

A tetrahedral carbon is__sp³__hybridized while a linear carbon is__sp___hybridized. Two different compounds that have the same molecular formula are known as___isomers____. Pi (π) bonds are generally_weaker (because they overlapped side ways)___than sigma (sigma) bonds. Hybridization is the combination of two or more__atomic ____orbitals to form the same number of__hybrid (combined  s and p)__orbitals, each having the same shape and energy. A_pi (π)____bond is formed by side-by-side overlap of two p orbitals. The_electronegativity___is a measure of an atom's attraction for electrons in a bond and indicates how much a particular atom ''wants" electrons. Two Lewis structures that have the same atomic placement and a structure but a different arrangement of pi electrons are called_Resonance structure____. All single bonds are___sigma__bonds.

The Ka of carbonic acid is 4.3 x 10-7.
ratelena [41]

Answer:

poor hydrogen-ion donor

Explanation:

Acid dissociation constant constant chemistry is the equilibrium constant of the dissociation reaction of an acid, it is denoted by Ka. This equilibrium constant is a measure of the strength of an acid in a solution.

Note these as a rule of thumb:

When Ka is large, the dissociation of the acid is favored.

When Ka is small, the acid does not dissociate to a large extent.

Hence, a Ka of 4.3 x 10-7 shows a weak acid. A weak acid is a poor hydrogen ion donor because it does not dissociate to a large extent in solution.

Logs in a fire, and charged batteries are examples of?
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

Logs in a fire is an example of something burning, also changing its state of form. I think thats chemical change; going from wood to ashes. And charged batteries means they haven't been used yet or they were just charged, resulting in physical change.

Explanation:

I just learned this in science.

I hope this helps!

If a temperature increase from 10.0 ∘C to 22.0 ∘C doubles the rate constant for a reaction, what is the value of the activation
maria [59]

The activation energy barrier is 40.1 kJ·mol⁻¹

Use the Arrhenius equation

\ln( \frac{k_2 }{k_1 }) = (\frac{E_{a} }{R })(\frac{ 1}{T_1} - \frac{1 }{T_2 })\\

\ln( \frac{2k }{k}) = (\frac{E_{a} }{\text{8.314 J} \cdot \text{K}^{-1} \text{mol}^{-1} })(\frac{ 1}{\text{283.15 K}} - \frac{1 }{\text{295.15 K }})\\

\ln2 = (\frac{ E_{a} }{\text{8.314 J} \cdot \text{K}^{-1} \text{mol}^{-1}}) \times 1.436 \times10^{-4}\\

\ln2 = E_{a} \times 1.727 \times 10^{-5} \text{ mol} \cdot \text{J}^{-1}

E_{a} = \frac{\ln2 }{ 1.727 \times10^{-5}\text{ mol} \cdot \text{J}^{-1}}\\

E_{a} = \text{40 100 J}\cdot\text{mol}^{-1} = \textbf{40.1 kJ}\cdot \textbf{mol}^{-1}
