By the heat energy waves that travel from the iron to the shirt.

In physics, there is a rule that the heat always travels from the hotter object to the cooler object. In this case, as the iron is hotter than the shirt, the heat will travel from the iron to the shirt.

How are the following aspects of a reaction affected by the addition of a catalyst? 1) activation energy of the reverse reaction

snow_tiger [21]

These are four questions and four answers.

Answers:

1) activation energy of the reverse reaction

b. Decreased

2) Rate of the forward reaction

a. Increased

3) Rate of the reverse reaction

a. Increased

4) Activation energy of the forward reaction

b. decreased

Explanation:

Activarion energy is the energy required by the reactants to form the intermediate transition state and become products.

Catalysts are substances that change the path of the chemical reactions, lowering the activation energy, and thus speeding up the rate of the reactions, since the products can reach the new lower activation energy faster.

The equilibrium reactions are the chemical process in which two reactions, the forward and the reverese reactions, occur simultaneously and at the same rate. The equlibrium reactions may be represented by:

A ⇄ B

Where A → B is the direct or forward reaction, and A ← B is the reverse reaction (note the inversed arrow, from right to left).

For the direct reaction A represents the reactants and B represents the products. On the other hand, B represents the reactants and A represents the reactants of the reverse reaction and A. This, is A is the reactant of the forward reaction and the product of the reverse reaction, while B is the reactant of the reverse reaction and the product of the forward reaction.

Since, the addition of a catalyst lowers the activation energy of the process, the new activation energy is lower for both the forward and the reverse reaction, meaning that:

1. The activation energy of the reverse reaction is decreased (option b. of the first question)

2. The rate of the forward reaction is increased (option a. of the second question)

3. The rate of the reverse reaction is increased (option a. of the third question).

4. Activation energy of the forward reaction is decreased (option b. of the fourth question).

In summary, the addition of a catalyst decreases the activation energy for both forward and reverse reactions, and increases the rate of both forward and reverse reactions.

Imagine the movement of a single gas molecule inside a container. Explain the particles motions in terms of kinetic- molecular t

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

we know that gas molecules move fast by hitting the container and they never meet,so if we have one single gas molecule then it will move slower . This is because it is alone in an empty container so until it hits the container to change it's movements it will make the process slower.

Read the explanation below to have a better idea based on the kinetic molecular theory.

Explanation:

Hello in this question we have a container and in it is a single gas molecule. So there is our gas molecule and in fact right there that violates the kinetic molecular theory. Because the kinetic molecular theory thinks of these particles as being dimension less points. Because there is so much space between particles. The particles themselves have such an insignificant volume as they can be thought of as dimension lys points. Okay. But anyway this particle is in rapid motion and this motion is essentially random. So it's moving and it will eventually hit the wall of its container. It's moving rapidly so it's going to hit it pretty quickly and when it hits the wall of that container Yeah, it is going to bounce off when it does that. It's a totally elastic collision. So that means there will be no energy transfer, no energy loss, no energy gained. It will just serve to change the direction of the particle. So when it hits the wall it's going to bounce back off the wall and continue in a straight line until it hits another wall and then it will bounce off that wall and it will continue moving in this motion in this motion its speed is related to the amount of energy it has and therefore its temperature. So if we add heat, it will move faster. If we remove heat or cool it down, it will move slower. So when we remove heat, it will move slower. The kinetic molecular theory says it will be constantly moving As long as it is above absolute zero. It's only at absolute zero or 0 Kelvin, where would stop moving. Okay, so all these things describe its motion. It's in rapid random motion in a straight line until it hits the wall of its container. Then it will rebound without a transfer of any energy. It will be totally elastic collision. If we were to heat it up, it would move faster. If we were to cool it down, it would move more slowly, we would have to cool it all the way down to absolute zero before it would stop moving. Right, so all of these things describe its motion. In terms of that kinetic molecular theory,

Enter the balanced NET IONIC equation for the potentially unbalanced equation AgNO3(aq)+NaCl(aq)→AgCl(s)+NaNO3(aq).

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

$Ag^+(aq)+Cl^-(aq)\rightarrow AgCl(s)$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the net ionic equations are ionic representations of the molecular equation in which the spectator ions (those at both reactants and products sides) are cancelled out, we first write the complete ionic equation for this reaction, considering that the solid silver chloride is not ionized due to its precipitation:

$Ag^+(aq)+NO_3^-(aq)+Na^+(aq)+Cl^-(aq)\rightarrow AgCl(s)+Na^+(aq)+NO_3^-(aq)$

Whereas the nitrate and sodium ions are cancelled out for the aforementioned reason as they are the spectator ions, to obtain:

$Ag^+(aq)+Cl^-(aq)\rightarrow AgCl(s)$

Which is the required net ionic equation.

Best regards!
