They bond to skin because that was their original purpose - to act as an adhesive.

It bonds to skin because
solid polymer requires the presence of water to get things started, be it in the air or on your skin. Without a little moisture, SuperGlue can't bond anything. This explains why the glue is so good at sticking fingers together.

Answer:

Animals do not photosynthesize.

Explanation:

Plants use chloroplasts to capture sunlight to convert to energy in order to photosynthesize. Animals do not do this, therefore it is not needed.

At 298 K, the rate constant for a reaction is 0.0346 s-1. What is the rate constant at 350K if the Ea = 50.2kJ/mol

frutty [35]

Answer:

0.702 /s

Explanation:

Rate constant at $[298 \mathrm{~K}, \mathrm{~K}_{1}=3.46 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}$

Rate constant at $350 \mathrm{~K}, \mathrm{~K}_{2}=?$

$T_{1}=298 \mathrm{~K}$

$T_{2}=350 \mathrm{~K}$

Activation energy, $\mathrm{Ea}=50.2 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{mol}$

Use the following equation to calculate $K_{2}$ at $350 \mathrm{~K}$

$\ln \frac{\mathrm{K}_{2}}{\mathrm{~K}_{1}}=\frac{\mathrm{Ea}}{\mathrm{R}}\left[\frac{1}{\mathrm{~T}_{1}}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{~T}_{2}}\right]$

Therefore,

$\ln \left(\frac{K_{2}}{3.46 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}}\right) &=\frac{50.2 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{mol}}{8.314 \mathrm{JK}^{-1} \mathrm{~mole}^{-1}}\left[\frac{1}{298 \mathrm{~K}}-\frac{1}{350 \mathrm{~K}}\right]$

$\ln \left(\frac{K_{2}}{3.46 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}}\right) &=\frac{50.2 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{mol}}{8.314 \mathrm{JK}^{-1} \mathrm{~mole}^{-1}}\left[\frac{52 \mathrm{~K}}{298 \mathrm{~K} \times 350 \mathrm{~K}}\right]$

$\frac{K_{2}}{3.46 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}} &=\mathrm{e}^{3.01}$

$\frac{K_{2}}{3.46 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}} &=20.3$

$K_{2} &=20.3 \times 3.46 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}$

$&=0.702 \mathrm{~s}^{-1}$

hence, the rate constant at $350 \mathrm{~K}$ is 0.702 $\mathrm{~s}^{-1}$
