I think the best answer would be high. A chemical reaction can start when enough activation energy is added to the reactants. In living things the activation energy for chemical reactions is high. Because enzymes are present in cells in order to speed up reactions and give an alternative way for the reaction to occur.

High, the enzymes in cells function or speed up reactions by lowering the activation energy.

What is the predicted order of first ionization energies from highest to lowest for lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), an
natima [27]

Answer:

Rb > K > Na > Li

Explanation:

Ionization energy increases up the period and up the group.

From the periodic table, we can see that Li is the going to have the highest ionization energy and Rb is going to have the lowest.

Therefore, the correct answer is the first choice

Under which conditions of temperature and pressure would a 1-liter sample of a real gas behave most like an ideal gas?
Sladkaya [172]

Answer : The correct option is (3) 500 K and 0.1 atm.

Explanation :

A real gas behaves ideally at high temperature and low pressure.

The ideal gas equation is,

PV=nRT

where,

P = pressure of gas

V = Volume of gas

R = Gas constant

T = temperature of gas

n = number of moles of gas

The ideal gas works properly when the inter-molecular interactions between the gas molecules and volume of gas molecule will be negligible. This is possible when pressure is low and temperature is high.

Therefore, the correct option is (3) 500 K and 0.1 atm.

Which element can expand its valence shell to accommodate more than eight electrons? which element can expand its valence shell
Anvisha [2.4K]
<span>According to octet rule,  atoms with an atomic number less than 20 tend to combine  with other atom such that both of these atoms have eight electrons in their valence shells, which gives them the same electronic configuration as that of noble gas.

However, there are few compound that donot obey octel rule. Among the elements mentioned above i.e. oxygen and helium obeys octet rule.

In case of nitrogen, oxide of nitrogen (like NO and NO2) have incomplete octet. 

While there are few compounds of Br wherein Br has expanded octet. For example, in BrF5, Br has 12 electrons in valence shell. </span>

Characteristic of meteor​
Sati [7]

Explanation:

Many meteorites have iron or nickel in them, so they are heavier (and denser) than Earth rocks. Some meteorites have pits (regmaglypts) on the outside, which look like deep thumbprints. Meteorites are not bubbly, and do not have holes. Meteorite are usually not round.

An unknown metal absorbs 61 J of heat, and its temperature increases by 29∘C. What is the heat capacity of the metal?
aniked [119]

Answer:

2.103 J/C

Explanation:

Quantity of heat = Heat Capacity * Temperature change

Heat Capacity = Quantity of heat / Temperature Change

Heat Capacity = 61/29

Heat Capacity = 2.103 J/C
