Answer:

Atoms are composed of a central nucleus which is surrounded by orbiting Electrons.

Explanation:

The word Atom is derived from atomos meaning indivisible particle. An atom is a very small sized particle and its size is approximately 100 picometers.

Atoms are composed of a Nucleus which contains protons and neutrons and the nucleus is surrounded by orbiting electrons. Also, the nucleus is positively charged due to +ve protons and the electrons revolving around nucleus are -vely charged making overall atom neutral in nature.

Atoms react with another atoms due to the presence of valence electrons present in the valence shell of an atom. The valence electrons would make a covalent bond by mutually sharing the electrons or it may form an ionic bond by gaining and loosing valence electron.

The activation energy for the reaction NO2 (g )+ CO (g) ⟶ NO (g) + CO2 (g) is Ea = 218 kJ/mol and the change in enthalpy for the

madreJ [45]

Answer:

$470\frac{KJ}{mol}$

Explanation:

The activation energy represents the energy barrier that reagents must pass to transform into products (or products to transform into reagents in a reverse reaction)

For any reaction, the change in enthalpy is related to the activation energy by the equation

$\Delta H =E_{a\ direct}-E_{a\ reverse}$

So, the activation energy for the reverse reaction is

$E_{a\ reverse}=E_{a\ direct}-\Delta H =218 \frac{KJ}{mol} - (-252)\frac{KJ}{mol}=470\frac{KJ}{mol}$

Answer:

Carboxylic acid

A carboxylic acid is an organic acid that contains a carboxyl group attached to an R-group. The general formula of a carboxylic acid is R−COOH or R−CO₂H, with R referring to the alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, or other group. Carboxylic acids occur widely. Important examples include the amino acids and fatty acids.
