The activation energy of a chemical reaction is the energy that is required to be supplied for a chemical reaction to take place. The activation energy for the reaction of sodium is low compared to the energy released such that the reaction of sodium and water is spontaneous resulting in the melting of the sodium into liquid form

The activation energy of a candle wax is much higher, requiring the ignition of the wick which burns and in turn melts the candle wax to release vapors that burns alongside the wick to produce sooth carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and water vapor and release of heat energy which also fuels further combustion of the candle wax and wick

Therefore, the activation energy of the candle wax and wick which require the heat of direct flame from an ignited matches is higher than the activation energy of sodium placed in a medium of water that reacts spontaneously without heat application

Pure research becomes ___ when scientists develop a hypothesis based on the data and try to solve a specific problem

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

The answer is applied research

Explanation:

Pure research becomes applied research when scientists develop a hypothesis based on the data and try to solve a specific problem.

This is because the pure research try to understand, predict or explain the behavior of different phenomena (the data) while the applied research try to develop new technologies or methods (hypothesis) to take part, intervene and/or create changes on these phenomena and solve a specific problem.
