<span>If all chemical reactions that release free energy tend to occur spontaneously,why haven't all such reactions already occurred? One reason is that most reactions require an input of energy to get started.Before it is possible to form new chemical bonds,even bonds that contain less energy,it is first necessary to break the existing bonds,and that takes energy.The extra energy required to destabilize existing chemical bonds and initiate a chemical reaction is called activation energy.</span>

If the Temperature exerted on a sample of gas is increased from 273K to 410K, and the initial pressure is 1.3317 atm what is the
dsp73

Answer: 2.00 atm

Explanation:

P1/T1 = P2/T2

1.3317/273 = P2/410

P2 = 2.00 atm

We discussed the different types of intermolecular forces in this lesson. Which type would you expect to find in CO2?
g100num [7]

Answer:

Dispersion forces.

Explanation:

CO2 contains dispersion forces, and covalent bonds. It is a linear molecule, and the bond angle of O-C-O is 180 degree. O is more electronegative than C, the C-O contains polar bond with the having negative end pointing towards the O.

CO contains two C-O bonds. They cancel each other out because of the dipoles point in opposite directions. Although, CO2 contains polar bonds, it is known as a nonpolar molecule. So, the only intramolecular forces which CO2 having are London dispersion forces.

When we write the formula for an ionic compound, we are merely indicate the "molecules" in the compound with that formula. expla
belka [17]
When writing an ionic compound formula, a "molecular" form is used.  The formula is made with allowance for ion charges.
For example,
Ca²⁺ and NO₃⁻ ⇒ Ca(NO₃)₂
Al³⁺ and SO₄²⁻  ⇒ Al₂(SO₄)₃

15.0 g of Fe and 25.0 g of sand are added to 250.0 g of water. a. Determine the percent mass of Fe, sand, and water in the mixtu
lana [24]

Answer:

A. percentage mass of iron = 5.17%

percentage mass of sand  = 8.62%

percentage mass of water = 86.205%

B. (Iron + sand + water) -------> ( iron + sand) ------> sand

C. The step of separation of iron and sand

Explanation:

A. Percentage mass of the mixtures:

Total mass of mixture = (15.0 + 25.0 + 250.0) g =290.0 g

percentage mass of iron = 15/290 * 100% = 5.17%

percentage mass of sand = 25/290 * 100% = 8.62%

percentage mass of water = 250/290 * 100% = 86.205%

B. Flow chart of separation procedure

(Iron + sand + water) -------> separation by filtration using filter paper and funnel to remove water --------> ( iron + sand) -----------> separation using magnet to remove iron ------> sand

C. The step of separation of iron and sand by magnetization of iron will have the highest amount of error because during the process, some iron particles may not readily be attracted to the magnet as they may have become interlaced in-between sand grains. Also, some sand particle may also be attracted to the magnet as they are are borne on iron particles.

What type of change forms a new<br> substance?
marusya05 [52]

Chemical changes cause a substance to change into an entirely substance with a new chemical formula. Chemical changes are also known as chemical reactions. The “ingredients” of a reaction are called reactants, and the end results are called products.
