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

Chemistry

Nata [24]3 years ago
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.

Which of the following sets represents a pair of isotopes?
son4ous [18]
The correct option is A,
Isotopes are atoms of an element, which have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons in the nucleus of the atom. Thus, isotopes have the same atomic number but different mass number.
Looking at the options given above, you will discover that Chlorine which is given in option A is correct. Both type of chlorine has the same atomic number, which is 17, but they have different atomic masses, the atomic mass of the first one is 35 while that of the second one is 37.<span />

Which compound most likely contains polar covalent bonds?
marin [14]
I would say water; water is extremely polar, and this is why it can break one of the strongest bonds, ionic bonds. NaCl, as you probably know, is a salt, and dissolves in water. However, the ionic bond holding the Na+ and the Cl- is extremely strong; the boiling point of NaCl is at 1413 degrees celcius (water is at 100 degrees celcius). This means that it requires A LOT of energy to break the bond, but water is able to dissolve and break the bond very easily. It is very polar, so I would answer your question with water. And the bond connecting the H and the O is a covalent bond.

A cord is used to vertically lower an initially stationary block of mass m kg at a constant downward acceleration of g/4. the bl
Natali5045456 [20]

(a) We know that work is the product of Force and Distance so: (in this case Distance is negative since going down so –d)

work = force * distance

work = M * (g - g/4) * -d

work = -3Mgd/4 <span>

(b) The work by the weight of the block is simply:</span>

work = Mgd <span>

(c) The kinetic energy is simply equivalent to the net work, therefore:</span>

KE = net work

KE = Mgd/4 <span>

(d) The velocity is:</span>

v = √(2*KE/M)

Plugging in the value of KE from c:

v = √(2*Mgd / 4M)

<span>v = √(gd / 2) </span>
