Explain why, even though a collision may have energy in excess of the activation energy, what reaction may not occur ?

1 answer:

4 0

Activation energy is the energy needed to start a reaction, eg the flame needed to start ... Collisions may have enough energy to react yet not react if the orientation of the molecules is incorrect. Difficult to explain here without graphics, but basically of the molecules are facing the wrong way it won't happen.

Why do igneous rocks not contain fossils in them ?

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Igneous rocks do not contain any fossils.

Explanation:

This is because any fossils in the original rock will have melted when the rock melted to form magma. Sedimentary rocks are formed from the broken remains of other rocks that become joined together.

Which acid could not be prepared by treating a Grignard reagent with CO2?

Anni [7]

Answer:

4-oxopentanoic acid.

Explanation:

In this case, we must remember that the Grignard reaction is a reaction in which <u>carbanions</u> are produced. Carboanions have the ability to react with CO2 to generate a new C-C bond and a carboxylate ion. Finally, the acid medium will protonate the carboxylate to produce the <u>carboxylic acid group. </u>

The molecules that can follow the mechanism described above are the molecules: p-methylbenzoic acid, cyclopentane carboxylic acid and 3-methylbutanoic acid. (See figure 1)

In the case of <u>4-oxopentanoic acid</u>, the possible carbanion <u>will attack the carbonyl group</u> to generate a cyclic structure and an alcohol group (1-methylcyclopropan-1-ol). Therefore, this molecule cannot be produced by this reaction. (See figure 2)

Consider the following mechanism: O3 => O2 + O NO + O => NO2 What is the role of O2? A. intermediate B. catalyst C. reacta

Daniel [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

Step 1: $O_3\rightarrow O_2+O$

Step 2: $NO+O\rightarrow NO_2$

Overall reaction can be determined by adding all the reactions of mechanism:

$O_3+NO\rightarrow O_2+NO_2$

Reactants in an overall reaction = $O_3\& NO$

Products in an overall reaction = $O_2\& NO_2$

According to question , the role of oxygen gas is product.

Given the following reaction and data, A + B → Products

natima [27]

Answer:

a. Rate = k×[A]

b. k = 0.213s⁻¹

Explanation:

a. When you are studying the kinetics of a reaction such as:

A + B → Products.

General rate law must be like:

Rate = k×[A]ᵃ[B]ᵇ

You must make experiments change initial concentrations of A and B trying to find k, a and b parameters.

If you see experiments 1 and 3, concentration of A is doubled and the Rate of the reaction is doubled to. That means a = 1

Rate = k×[A]¹[B]ᵇ

In experiment 1 and to the concentration of B change from 1.50M to 2.50M but rate maintains the same. That is only possible if b = 0. (The kinetics of the reaction is indepent to [B]

Rate = k×[A][B]⁰

b. Replacing with values of experiment 1 (You can do the same with experiment 3 obtaining the same) k is:

Rate = k×[A]

0.320M/s = k×[1.50M]
