Helium, neon,nitrogen and argon
Thermal energy transfers in a solid state, due to convection, in metalic substances.
This is because the covalent bonds between the atoms are being broken and reformed again while the metal is experiencing stress. <em>covalent bonds store energy. </em>
Catalyst increases the rate of a chemical reaction
Answer:
e) The activation energy of the reverse reaction is greater than that of the forward reaction.
Explanation:
- Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy that is required by the reactants to start a reaction.
- An exothermic reaction is a reaction that releases heat energy to the surrounding while an endothermic reactions is a reaction that absorbs heat from the surrounding.
- <em><u>In reversible reactions, when the forward reaction is exothermic it means the reverse reaction will be endothermic, therefore the reverse reaction will have a higher activation energy than the forward reaction.</u></em> The activation energy of the reverse reaction will be the sum of the enthalpy and the activation energy of the forward reaction.
