Properties of iron, barium, and phosphorus. Explain why nails are made of iron but they are never made of barium or phosphorus.

Nails are made up of iron not of phosphorus and barium.  

As both phosphorous and barium are relatively weaker than iron ,phosphorus breaks easily and barium is also fairly weak. Iron nails are already also not that strong, but their weight and strength are sufficient.  

So the nails are made up of iron.

Imagine you are an astronaut and you travel to a planet with a much larger mass than Earth. How would this affect your weight? E
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Explanation:

It may not make any difference. The information missing is the radius of the planet.

However for the purposes of the question, let us assume that it is roughly the same diameter of the earth. Then the weight of anyone would increase if the mass is all that changes..

The formula governing your weight is F = G * m1 *m2 / r^2. If m1 is the mass of the planet and it increases a lot then m2 (you) should increase.  The question is done by a proportion.

Suppose a compound is involved in three different reactions denoted R1, R2, and R3. Tripling the concentration of this reactant
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

The order of reaction is as follows, R1 = 1; R2 = 2; R3 = 0

Explanation:

The rate of a chemical reaction is the number of moles of reactants consumed per unit time or the number of moles of products formed per unit. the rate of a chemical reaction is affected by the concentration of reactants

The relationship between the rate of a chemical reaction and the concentration of its reactants is given by the rate law or equation.

Generally, the rate equation is given as;

Rate = k[A]ᵃ[B]ᵇ..., where k = rate constant which is independent of concentration of the reactants, [A] = concentration of reactant A, a = order of reaction A, [B] = concentration of reaction B, b = order of reaction B.

For the given reactions R1, R2 and R3

For R1; rate = 3, Concentration = 3[A]

3 = k[A]3ˣ

3¹ = k[A]3ˣ

Since rate is proportional to concentration, therefore, the order of reaction, x = 1

For R2; rate = 9, Concentration = 3[A]

9 = k[A]3ˣ

3² = k[A]3ˣ

Since rate is proportional to concentration, therefore, the order of reaction, x = 2

For R1; rate = 1, Concentration = 3[A]

1 = k[A]3ˣ

3⁰ = k[A]3ˣ

Since rate is proportional to concentration, therefore, the order of reaction, x = 0

Therefore, the order of reaction is as follows, R1 = 1; R2 = 2; R3 = 0

Which of the following statement is FALSE? a. Lowering the free energy of the transition state can increase a reaction rate. b.
ryzh [129]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Activation energy or free energy of a transition state is defined as the  minimum amount of energy required to by reactant molecules to undergo a chemical reaction.

So, when activation energy is decreased then molecules with lesser amount of energy can also participate in the reaction. This leads to an increase in rate of reaction.  

Also, increase in temperature will help in increasing the rate of reaction.

Whereas at a given temperature, every molecule will have different energy because every molecule travels at different speed.

Hence, we can conclude that out of the given options false statement is that at a given temperature and time all molecules in a solution or a sample will have the same energy.
