<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
It makes the reaction harder to start
<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
- <em><u>Activation energy is minimum amount of energy that is required for a reaction to start. Activation energy determines the rate of a chemical reaction such that the higher the activation energy, the lower the rate of chemical reaction and vice versa.</u></em>
- The source of activation energy needed to push chemical reactions forward is obtained from the surroundings. Catalyst speed up chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy. Therefore, catalysis is the increase in the rate of a chemical reaction by lowering its activation energy.
1) Balanced chemical equation:
2SO2 (g) + O2 (g) -> 2SO3 (l)
2) Molar ratios
2 mol SO2 : 1 mol O2 : 2 mol SO3
3) Convert 6.00 g O2 to moles
number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass
number of moles = 6.00 g / 32 g/mol = 0.1875 mol O2.
4) Use proportions with the molar ratios
=> 2 moles SO2 / 1 mol O2 = x / 0.1875 mol O2
=> x = 0.1875 mol O2 * 2 mol SO2 / 1 mol O2 = 0.375 mol SO2.
5) Convert 0.375 mol SO2 to grams
mass in grams = number of moles * molar mass
molar mass SO2 = 32 g/mol + 2*16 g/mol = 64 g/mol
=> mass SO2 = 0.375 mol * 64 g / mol = 24.0 g
Answer: 24.0 g of SO2 are needed to react completely with 6.00 g O2.
Answer:
B. Composed of molecules relatively far apart.
Explanation:
The gas we call "air" has molecules that are relatively far apart.
The student originally has 252 grams of water in this experiment.
LAW OF CONSERVATION OF MASS:
- The law of conservation of mass explains that matter (mass) can neither be created nor destroyed but can be changed from one form to another.
- This means that in a chemical reaction, the sum of the masses of the reactants must equate to the total mass of product(s).
- According to this question, a student conducts an experiment to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen. The student collects 28.0 g of hydrogen and 224.0 g of oxygen.
- Since hydrogen and oxygen are the constituent elements of water, the sum of their masses must equate the mass of water.
- Therefore, 224g of oxygen + 28g of hydrogen = 252g of water.
