<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>

You are performing an experiment that uses 114Ag. 113Ag is radioactive, decays by beta-- emission and has a half-life of 21 minu
maxonik [38]

Answer: The 234.74 grams of sample should be ordered.

Explanation:

Let the gram of  114 Ag to ordered be N_o

The amount required for the beginning of experiment = 0.0575 g

Time requires to ship the sample = 4.2hour = 252 min(1 hr = 60 min)

Half life of the sample ={t_{\frac{1}{2}} = 21 min

\lambda =\frac{0.693}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}=\frac{0.693}{21 min}=0.033 min^{-1}

\log[N]=\log[N_o]-\frac{\lambda t}{2.303}

\log[0.0575 g]=\log[N_o]-\frac{0.033 min^{-1}\times 252 min}{2.303}

N_o=234.74 grams

The 234.74 grams of sample should be ordered.

Difference between---<br> soap and detergent
guapka [62]

Answer:

"Soaps are made from natural ingredients, such as plant oils (coconut, vegetable, palm, pine) or acids derived from animal fat. Detergents, on the other hand, are synthetic, man-made derivatives. While soap is limited in its applications, detergents can be formulated to include other ingredients for all sorts of cleaning purposes. Perhaps the most common and versatile of these ingredients are surfactants … surface active agents.

The main difference between soap and detergent is the ingredients. Soaps are made with biodegradable ingredients such as oils, lye and fats. ... Both clean clothes well, but detergents are more effective on stains and with brightening clothes. However, soap is kinder on the environment and skin. "

Hope this helps

How is the concentration of h3o ions and oh- ions different in an acid solution and a basic soulution?
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
In an acidic solution, the concentration of H+ is greater than the concentration of OH-. The pH will be less than 7.
In a basic solution, the concentration of OH- is greater than the concentration of H+. The pH will be greater than 7.
In a neutral solution, the concentration of H+ ions to OH-ions will be equal, and will therefore have a pH of 7. (This is due to water autoionization, which we usually ignore because it is small in other circumstances.)

Why is using only clean glassware important?
stealth61 [152]

Good laboratory technique demands clean glassware because the most carefully executed piece of work may give an erroneous result if dirty glassware is used. In all instances, glassware must be physically and chemically clean and in many cases, it must be bacteriologic-ally clean or sterile.

A student listed the characteristics of chemical and nuclear reactions.
lidiya [134]

Answer:

D. It is a chemical reaction because the total mass remains the same when new substances are formed.

Explanation:

A chemical reaction is represented by a chemical equation which show the reactant and products. Reactants are written on left side of arrow while products are written on right side. The number of atoms are remain same however arrangement of atoms is different on both side.

For example:

6H₂O + 6CO₂ + energy  →   C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

it is known from balanced chemical equation that 6 moles of carbon dioxide react with the six moles of water and created one mole of glucose and six mole of oxygen. The number of atoms are same on both side however arrangement of atoms is different.

While in case of nuclear reaction small change in mass take place.
