What is the term for the amount of energy that is needed for a chemical reaction to occur?

1 answer:

3 0

<span>This would be the activation energy. This is usually in the form of heat, which allows the reaction to undergo some sort of transition. Many times, enzymes can be used as catalysts to lower the activation energy required for the reaction to take place.</span>

P4O10 -> 4P+5O2 How many moles of phosphorus would be produced if 5.3 mol of P4O10 reacted?

viktelen [127]

Answer:

21.2 moles.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, for the given chemical reaction, we can see there is a 1:4 mole ratio between tetraphosphorous decaoxide and phosphorous; therefore, the following proportional factor provides the requested moles of phodphorous:

$n_P=5.3molP_4O_{10} *\frac{4molP}{1molP_4O_{10}} \\\\n_P=21.2molP$

Best regards!

How many carbon atoms are there in a 1.5-carat diamond? diamonds are a form of pure carbon. ( 1 carat=0.20 grams)?

11111nata11111 [884]

1 carot = 0.2 grams
1.5 carot = 0.3 grams.

1 mol of Carbon = 12 grams
x mol = 0.3 grams

0.3 * 1 = 12 x
x = 0.3/12
x = 0.025 mol

1 mol of Carbon is 6.02 * 10^23 atoms
0.025 mol of carbon is x

1/0.025 = 6.02*10^23 * /x
x = 0.025 * 6.02 * 10^23
x = 1.5 * 10^22 atoms of carbon.

A sample of a gas is placed inside a cylinder that is a fixed size. The cylinder is heated as additional gas is added to it. Wha

makkiz [27]

The pressure of gas will increase because gaseous state is the final state and even if the heat added is evaporating some more gas is still added. It also depends on the temperature of heat added, if the temperature doesn't change the it's most likely for the pressure to be stable...
Hope it helps

Under identical conditions, separate samples of O2 and an unknown gas were allowed to effuse through identical membranes simulta

scoray [572]

Answer:

70.77 g/mol is the molar mass of the unknown gas.

Explanation:

Effusion is defined as rate of change of volume with respect to time.

Rate of Effusion= $\frac{Volume}{Time}$

Effusion rate of oxygen gas after time t = $E=\frac{4.64 mL}{t}$

Molar mass of oxygen gas = M = 32 g/mol

Effusion rate of unknown gas after time t = $E'=\frac{3.12 mL}{t}$

Molar mass of unknown gas = M'

The rate of diffusion of gas, we use Graham's Law.

This law states that the rate of effusion or diffusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of the gas. The equation given by this law follows:

$\text{Rate of effusion}\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{\text{Molar mass of the gas}}}$

$\frac{E}{E'}=\sqrt{\frac{M'}{M}}$

$\frac{\frac{4.64 mL}{t}}{\frac{3.12 mL}{t}}=\sqrt{\frac{M'}{32 g/mol}}$

M' = 70.77 g/mol

70.77 g/mol is the molar mass of the unknown gas.
