<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>

How does Earth's rotation affect ocean currents?
Tom [10]

Answer:

Our planet's rotation produces a force on all bodies moving relative to theEarth. ... The force, called the "Coriolis effect," causes the direction of winds and ocean currents to be deflected.

The Law of _____states that substances combine in predictable proportions and that excess reactants remain unchanged.
RideAnS [48]

Answer: definite proportions.


Explanation:


1) The definite proportions law states that compounds will always have the same kind of atoms (elements) in the same mass proportion (ratios).


2) For example, a molecule of water will alwys have the same mass ratio of hydrogen atoms to oxygen atoms. That is what permits to obtain the chemical formula of the water molecule as H₂O.


The mass of the two hydrogen atoms will be in a fixed ratio respect to the mass of the oxygen atoms.


Then, if you have one reactant in less proportion than the other, respect to the ratio stated by the chemical formula of water, the former will react completely (it is the limiting reactant) with the corresponding (proportional) mass of the later. Then there will be an excess of the later reactant which will not react (will remain unchanged).


The reactants can only react in the proportion defined by the chemical formulas of the final products.

A system gains 687 kJ of heat, resulting in a change in internal energy of the system equal to 156 kJ. How much work is done?
Maslowich

Answer:

w = -531 kJ

1. Work was done by the system.

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Heat gained by the system (q): 687 kJ (By convention, when the system absorbs heat, q > 0).
  • Change in the internal energy of the system (ΔU°): 156 kJ

Step 2: Calculate the work done (w)

We will use the following expression.

ΔU° = q + w

w = ΔU° - q

w = 156 kJ - 687 kJ

w = -531 kJ

By convention, when w < 0, work is done by the system on the surroundings.

1. 17.0 grams of xenon hexafluoride is in a solid container. How many milliliters of that gas
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer: The volume of gas is 3020 ml

Explanation:

According to ideal gas equation:

PV=nRT

P = pressure of gas = 821.4 torr =  1.08 atm     (760 torr = 1atm)

V = Volume of gas in L = ?

n = number of moles = \frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{17.0g}{245.28g/mol}=0.069mol

R = gas constant =0.0821Latm/Kmol

T =temperature =302.7^0C=(302.7+273)K=575.7K

V=\frac{nRT}{P}

V=\frac{0.069mol\times 0.0821Latm/K mol\times 575.7K}{1.08atm}=3.02L=3020ml

Thus volume of gas is 3020 ml

Which of the following was NOT suggested by Rutherford’s gold foil experiment?
Phoenix [80]

Answer: The Answer is C.

Explanation: The Nucleus only makes up less than .01% of the volume of the Atom. The Nucleus does contain more than 99.9% of the mass of the Atom. I hope that this helps you! Good luck!
