A meander is best described as a bend or curve in a stream channel.
Alkanes are hydrocarbons that only contain single bonds in them. A carbon can bond with up to 4 atoms, even with another carbon atom. So, in a C-C bond, 3 more H atoms can bond to each of the C atom. Generally, the chemical formula for alkanes is CₓH₂ₓ₊₂. So for butane, there are 4 C atoms. The corresponding H atoms are 2(4) + 2 = 10. That's why it's chemical formula is C₄H₁₀.
Answer:
Option 3. The catalyst does not affect the enthalpy change (
) of a reaction.
Explanation:
As its name suggests, the enthalpy change of a reaction () is the difference between the enthalpy of the products and the reactants.
On the other hand, a catalyst speeds up a reaction because it provides an alternative reaction pathway from the reactants to the products.
In effect, a catalyst reduces the activation energy of the reaction in both directions. The reactants and products of the reaction won't change. As a result, the difference in their enthalpies won't change, either. That's the same as saying that the enthalpy change of the reaction would stay the same.
Refer to an energy profile diagram. Enthalpy change of the reaction measures the difference between the two horizontal sections. Indeed, the catalyst lowered the height of the peak. However, that did not change the height of each horizontal section or the difference between them. Hence, the enthalpy change of the reaction stayed the same.
C = vf
c stands for the speed of waves (which is a constant that is 3 x 10^8)
v stands for the wavelength (which is given)
f stands for frequency (what we are solving for)
3 x 10^8 = (1.08 x 10^-6)f
Divide both sides by the given wavelength
f = 2.78 * 10^14 seconds
