The activation energy of a reaction is the minimum energy that must be overcome in order for the reaction to take place. One way of reaching the activation energy is by manipulating the process conditions like pressure or temperature. But the most common method is by adding an enzyme. An enzyme speeds up the rate of the reaction but does not actively take part in it.

An analogy would be pushing heavy wooden block down a slope. No matter how many people push on it, the block won't move because of friction. But if you spill oil on the floor, the block would effortlessly move down the slope. The oil here is like an enzyme in a reaction.

Answer:

Bleach and seawater are identified wrong.

Explanation:

Acids have an pH that is lower than 7 and bases have a pH of higher than 7 and (pH 7 is neutral)

We can observe from the table that bleach has a pH of 13 which is higher than 7 and shows basic characteristics

As for seawater the table shows it has a pH of 8 which is also a base. Therefore the answer is 3rd option "Bleach and seawater should be identified as bases".

We make a basic solution by mixing 50. mL of 0.10 M NaOH and 50. mL of 0.10 M Ca(OH)2. It requires 250 mL of an HCl solution to

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option 5.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • To calculate the molarity of the solution after mixing 2 solutions, we use the equation:

M=\frac{n_1M_1V_1+n_2M_2V_2}{V_1+V_2}

where,

n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of the NaOH.

n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of the Ca(OH)_2

We are given:

n_1=1\\M_1=0.10M\\V_1=50mL\\n_2=2\\M_2=0.1\\V_2=50mL  

Putting all the values in above equation, we get:

M=\frac{(1\times 0.1\times 50)+(2\times 0.1\times 50)}{50+50}\\\\M=0.15M

  • To calculate the molarity of acid, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2

where,

n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is HCl

n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base.

We are given:

n_1=1\\M_1=?M\\V_1=250mL\\n_2=1\\M_2=0.15M\\V_2=100mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1\times M_1\times 250=1\times 0.15\times 100\\\\M_1=0.06M

Hence, the correct answer is Option 5.
