Answer:

Exolaiend in explanation section

Explanation:

First of all, the automatic hammer is used to drive nails into tight spaces where where we can't get a sufficient striking force if we are to use a normal regular hammer in driving the nail.

So the nail to be driven is lifted out of rest(it's position). The energy here is gravitational potential energy.

Now, when it is driven into the tight spaces, the gravitational energy would be converted to kinetic energy due to the motion and speed involved.

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

52.9 KJmol-1

Explanation:

From;

log(k2/k1) = Ea/2.303 * R (1/T1 - 1/T2)

The temperatures must be converted to Kelvin;

T1 = 25° C + 273 = 298 K

T2= 35°C + 273 = 308 K

R= gas constant = 8.314 JK-1mol-1

Substituting values;

log 2 = Ea/2.303 * 8.314 (1/298 - 1/308)

Ea = 52.9 KJmol-1

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

3.60 × 10⁻⁵ g Au (Gold)

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Molar Mass of Au - 196.97 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

Set up: $\displaystyle 3.60 \cdot 10^{-5} \ g \ Au(\frac{1 \ mol \ Au}{196.97 \ g \ Au})$
Multiply: $\displaystyle 1.82769 \cdot 10^{-7} \ mol \ Au$

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.</em>

1.82769 × 10⁻⁷ mol Au ≈ 1.83 × 10⁻⁷ mol Au

inysia [295]

Answer:

increases the frequency of particle collisions

Explanation:

One factor upon which the rate of reaction depends is the surface area of reactants.

According to the collision theory, reactions occur when reactant particles having the required (activation) energy collide with each other, this collision is inelastic. However, collision of particles having energies less than the activation energy results in elastic collisions and no chemical reaction.

The more the exposed surface area of reactants, the greater the number of particles that come into contact with each other and the more the chances of frequent effective collisions that lead to reaction.

Thus, powdered zinc reacts faster with hydrochloric acid than zinc strips
