Answer:
The correct option is C ( the activation energy is lowered, the reactant molecules collide more frequently and with greater energy per collision).
Explanation:
The rate of a chemical reaction is defined as the quantity of products that are formed per unit time. Rates can be computed based on either how the reactants are used up or how products are formed.
There are factors that affects the rate of a chemical reaction and they include TEMPERATURE, catalyst, surface area of reacting substances and many among others.
TEMPERATURE increase in most chemical reactions increases the rate of the reaction. This is because molecules gain more energy at higher temperatures. This increases their kinetic energy resulting in more effective collision of the reactant molecules. The rate of reaction depends on the frequency of this effective collisions between the reacting particles.
Effective collision are those that result in reactions, which when they occur, the colliding particles become activated with increased kinetic energy. This kinetic energy must exceed a particular energy barrier for a particular reaction if the reaction must take place. This energy barrier that must be overcome is known as the ACTIVATION ENERGY.
There are many forms of energy: like solar, wind, wave and thermal to name a few, but the 6 Forms of Energy we study in Needham are: Sound, Chemical, Radiant, Electric, Atomic and Mechanical. Sound Energy- is produced when an object is made to vibrate. Sound energy travels out as waves in all directions.
Its IUPAC name is sodium carbonate. It is also known as soda ash. It is the water soluble sodium salt of carbonic acid and occurs as a crystalline heptahydrate. Sodium carbonate has an alkaline taste and when in solution forms a basic solution. One important application is that it is used commonly as a water softener.
Answer:
The release of methane from thawed permafrost.
Explanation:
The complete question is
A group of scientists in Alaska notices that not only have atmospheric CO2 levels increased at their sampling site but so too have methane levels. What could account for this increase in methane levels?
-
None of the answer options is correct.
-
The release of methane from thawed permafrost.
-A decrease in beef production near the researchers' sampling area.
-The melting of permafrost accompanied by the thawing of methane-producing bacteria.
-The failure of rice paddies to be established in Alaska, given its climate.
Permafrost regions like the arctic circle hold a large supply supply of methane in their soils and their seas. Ordinarily, this methane should be gradually released naturally over a long period of time, but the effects of global warming is making these permafrost to thaw at a much faster rate, accelerating the release of methane into the atmosphere. The dark side is that methane is about 80 times more deadly when compared to CO2 in its contribution to the green house effect on earth.
Answer: 448 mL of hydrogen gas.
Solution:
Now,according to reaction
1 mole of magnesium produces one mole of hydrogen gas.
Then 0.020 moles of magnesium will produce 0.020 moles of hydrogen gas.
Moles of 
gas : 0.020 mol
At STP, 1 mol of gas occupies 22.4 L
So volume of 0.020 mol of 
produced at STP :
= 22.4/times 0.020 = 0.448 L = 448 mL (1L=1000mL)
