Which statement is a valid conclusion about the activation energy of the reverse reaction if the forward reaction is exothermic?

Chemistry

babunello [35]3 years ago
4 0

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.

While you are using a battery, the cell reaction is going a) forward, b) backward, c) at equilibrium, d) TEXASIN all possible
polet [3.4K]

Answer:Cell reaction is going forward.

Explanation:

For any chemical reaction to be spontaneous or to move in forward direction the ΔG ,the Gibbs free energy must be negative.

The cell potential of a battery is positive for a spontaneous reaction, so for a battery to give output its cell potential must be positive.

Thermodynamics and electro-chemistry are related in the following manner:

ΔG=-nFE

n=number of electrons involved

F=Faradays constant

E=cell pottential of battery

so from the above equation ΔG would only be negative when E cell that is the cell potential is positive.

For a battery which is being used its cell potential is positive and hence the ΔG would be negative. So the cell reaction occurring would be in forward direction as ΔG is negative.

when the cell potential Ecell is 0 then ΔG is also zero then the reaction occurring in battery would be at equilibrium.

When the cell potential Ecell is - then ΔG is positive and the reaction would be occurring backwards.

Consider a mixture of 10 billion 02 molecules and 10 billion H2 molecules. In what way is this mixture similar to a sample conta
sashaice [31]

Explanation:

Number of oxygen molecules = 10 billion = 10^9

Number of hydrogen molecules = 10 billion = 10^9

Number of molecules of hydrogen peroxides = 10 billion = 10^9

Moles of oxygen gas :n_{o_2}

\frac{10^9}{N_A}=\frac{10^9}{6.022\times 10^{23} mol^{-1}}=1.6605\times 10^{-15} mol

Moles of hydrogen gas :n_{H_2}

\frac{10^9}{N_A}=\frac{10^9}{6.022\times 10^{23}mol^{-1}}=1.6605\times 10^{-15} mol

n_{O_2}=n_{H_2}

Moles of hydrogen gas :n_{H_2O_2}

\frac{10^9}{N_A}=\frac{10^9}{6.022\times 10^{23}mol^{-1}}}=1.6605\times 10^{-15} mol

n_{O_2}=n_{H_2}-n_{H_2O_2}

Number of moles in hydrogen gas, oxygen gas and hydrogen peroxide is same.

Total number of atoms in 10^6 molecules of oxygen:

2\times 10^6 (2 atoms in 1 molecule)

Total number of atoms in 10^6 molecules of hydroegn :

2\times 10^6(2 atoms in 1 molecule)

Total number of atoms in 10^6 molecules of hydrogen peroxide:

4\times 10^6 (4 atoms in 1 molecule)

Number of oxygen atoms and number of hydrogen atoms are equal but individually they are not equal to number of atoms in hydrogen peroxide.
