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.

A sample of chlorine containing isotopes of mass numbers 35 and 37 was analysed in a mass-spectrometer. How many peaks correspon
Zolol [24]
Three peaks corresponding to Cl+2 will be recorded. The peaks are for isotope 35, both 35 and 37 and for isotope 37. Mass spectrometer has the ability to detect and separate isotopes, even those differing by a single atomic mass unit. When chlorine isotopes are analysed by mass spectrometer, either peak M or M+2 can be obtained. The intensity ratio in the isotope pattern depends on the natural abundance of the isotopes.

A piece of unknown metal with mass 68.6 g is heated to an initial temperature of 100 °C and dropped into 42 g of water (with an
kogti [31]

The piece of unknown metal is in thermal equilibrium with water such that Q of metal is equal to Q of the water. We write this equality as follows:

-Qm = Qw

Mass of metal (Cm)(ΔT) = Mass of water (Cw) (ΔT)

where C is the specific heat capacities of the materials.

We calculate as follows:

-(Mass of metal (Cm)(ΔT)) = Mass of water (Cw) (ΔT)

-68.6 (Cm)(52.1 - 100) = 42 (4.184) (52.1 - 20)

Cm = 1.717 -----> OPTION C

PLEASE HELP this is physical science.
Andru [333]

Bone age : 22,920 years

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Nt = 2.5 g C-14

No = 40 g

half-life = 5730 years

Required

time of decay

Solution

General formulas used in decay:  

\large{\boxed{\bold{N_t=N_0(\dfrac{1}{2})^{t/t\frac{1}{2} }}}

t = duration of decay  

t 1/2 = half-life  

N₀ = the number of initial radioactive atoms  

Nt = the number of radioactive atoms left after decaying during T time  

Input the value :

\tt 2.5=40.\dfrac{1}{2}^{t/5730}\\\\\dfrac{2.5}{40}=\dfrac{1}{2}^{t/5730}\\\\(\dfrac{1}{2})^4=\dfrac{1}{2}^{t/5730}\\\\4=t/5730\rightarrow t=22920~years

Two tons of water is pumped into a tank 15 ft. High in 5 minutes. Determine the power output of the pump. (Note: One ton is equa
Semmy [17]

Answer:

200 lb•ft/s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Force (F) = 2 tons

Time (t) = 5 mins

Height (h) = 15 ft

Power (P) =?

Next, we shall convert 2 tons to pound. This can be obtained as follow:

1 ton = 2000 lb

Therefore,

2 tons = 2 × 2000

2 tons = 4000 lb

Next, we shall convert 5 mins to seconds. This can be obtained as follow:

1 min = 60 s

Therefore,

5 mins = 5 × 60

5 mins = 300 s

Finally, we shall determine the power of the pump. This can be obtained as follow:

Force (F) = 4000 lb

Time (t) = 300 s

Height (h) = 15 ft

Power (P) =?

P = F × h / t

P = 4000 × 15 / 300

P = 60000 / 300

P = 200 lb•ft/s

Thus, the power of the pump is 200 lb•ft/s
