Answer : The potential energy diagram is shown below.

Explanation :

Activation energy : The energy required to initiate the reaction is known as activation energy.

Or, it is the amount of energy required to reach the transition state.

Or, It is the minimum amount of energy that is absorbed by the reactant molecules so that their energy becomes equal to the threshold energy.

Or, the difference between the reactant and the transition state.

Enthalpy of a reaction : It is the energy change which takes place when the reactants go to the products. It is represented as, $\Delta H$

Or, we can say that the difference between the product and the reactant.

If the heat is absorbed during the reaction then the enthalpy of reaction is positive and the reaction endothermic reaction.

If the heat is released during the reaction then the enthalpy of reaction is negative and the reaction exothermic reaction.

Describe the relationship between hydrogen oxygen and water

True [87]

Hydrogen is composed of H atom and oxygen is composed of O atom. For water, it is composed by both H and O atom. If you burn hydrogen in oxygen, you can get water. And if you electrolysis water, you can get hydrogen and oxygen.

How much heat in kj is released by burning 9.5 grams of methane?

tatyana61 [14]

Methane is the compound CH4, and burning it uses the reaction:

CH4 + O2 -> CO2 + H2O, which is rather exothermic. To find the heat released by burning a certain amount of the substance, you should look at the bond enthalpy of each compound, and then compare the values before and after the reaction. In methane, there are 4 C-H bonds, which have bond energy of 416 kj/mol, resulting in a total bond energy of 1664 kj/mol. O2 is 494 kj/mol. Therefore we have a total of 2080 kj/mol on the left side. On the right side we have CO2, which has 2 C=O bonds, each at 799 kj/mol each, resulting in 1598 kj/mol, and H2O has 2 O-H bonds, at 459kj/mol each, resulting in a total of 2516 kj/mol on the right hand side. Now, this may be confusing because the left hand side seems to have less heat than the right, but you just need to remember: making minus breaking, which results in a total change of 436kj/mol heat evolved.

Now it is a simple matter of find the mols of CH4 reacted, using n=m/mr.

n = 9.5/16.042 = 0.592195 mol

Therefore, if we reacted 0.592195 mol, and we produced 436 kj for one mol, the total amount of energy evolved was 436*0.592195 kj, or 258.197 kj.

A 2.26 M solution of KOH is prepared. Calculate the moles and mass of solute present in a 15.2-mL sample of this solution. The m

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

0.0344 moles and 1.93g.

Explanation:

Molarity is defined as the ratio between moles of a solute (In this case, KOH), and the volume. With molarity and volume we can solve the moles of solute. With moles of solute we can find mass of the solute as follows:

Moles KOH:

15.2mL = 0.0152L * (2.26mol / L) = 0.0344moles

Mass KOH:

0.0344 moles * (56.11g/mol) = 1.93g of KOH
