Which analogy can best be likened to the activation energy of a chemical reaction?

Chemistry

olganol [36]3 years ago

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.

How many atoms are in a sample of 72.8 g calcium (Ca)?
xxMikexx [17]
Atomic mass Ca = 40.078 a.m.u

40.078 g -------------------- 6.02x10²³ atoms
72.8 g ---------------------- ??

72.8 x ( 6.02x10²³) / 40.078 =

4.38x10²⁵ / 40.078 = 1.093x10²⁴ atoms

hope this helps!

Outline how fresh water could be extracted from salt water if fresh water was no longer available.
leva [86]

You can boil the salt water. The water will evaporate while the salt will be left behind because it's a solid. Salt has a much higher boiling point than water (2,575° F), so that's why it won't evaporate with the water.

Use the drop-down menus to classify each of the following as an addition, substitution, elimination, or
OLga [1]

Answer:

CH3CHO+H2O → CH3OCH3 - addition

CH,CICH CI + Zn → C2H4 + ZnCl2 - elimination

CH3CH3Br + OH – CH3CH3OH + Br - substitution

2CH2COOH >>(CH3CO)20 + H20 - condensation

Explanation:

An addition reaction is a reaction in which a specie is added across the double bond as we can see in CH3CHO+H2O → CH3OCH3.

In an elimination reaction, a small molecule is lost from a saturated compound to form the corresponding unsaturated compound as in CH,CICH CI + Zn → C2H4 + ZnCl2

In a substitution reaction, a chemical moiety replaces another in a molecule as in; CH3CH3Br + OH – CH3CH3OH + Br .

A condensation reaction is in which two molecules are joined together to form a bigger molecule as in; 2CH2COOH >>(CH3CO)20 + H20.
