Answer:

must be greater than the required ΔH

Explanation:

The activation energy is the minimum extra amount of energy required by reactant molecules to undergo a reaction.

For both exothermic and endothermic reactions we need activation energy.

Enthalpy is the energy difference between products and reactants.

For endothermic reactions, enthalpy is positive as the energy of products is more than the energy of reactants.

As activation energy will be greater than the energy of both the reactants and products, so it must be greater than the enthalpy of reaction.

Endothermic reactions are reactions that require heat in the course of the process. The heat of reaction in this case is positive which means the energy of the products is greater than the energy of the reactants. In this case, the answer to this problem would have to be 1. must be greater than the required ΔH

Colt1911 [192]

All the following are equal to Avogadro's number EXCEPT a. the number of atoms of bromine in 1 mol Br₂.

1 mol Br₂ contains Avogadro’s number of molecules of Br₂.

However, each molecule contains two atoms of Br, so there are

2 × Avogadro’s number of Br atoms in 1 mol Br₂.

3% Hydrogen Peroxide has an oral LD50 of 900 mg/kg. Acetic Acid has an oral LD50 of 3310 mg/kg. Which one is more hazardous to c

Lina20 [59]

Answer is: hydrogen peroxide is more hazardous to consume.
Median lethal dose, LD50 (lethal dose, 50%) is a measure of the lethal dose of a toxin. LD50 used as a general indicator of a substance's acute toxicity, lower LD50 is indicative of increased toxicity (in this case 900 mg/kg is lower than 3310 mg/kg).

inessss [21]

Answer:

The standard cell potential of the reaction is 0.78 Volts.

Explanation:

$Cu^{2+}(aq)+Fe(s)\rightarrow Cu(s)+Fe^{2+}(aq)$

Reduction at cathode :

$Cu^+(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow Cu(s)$

Reduction potential of $Cu^{2+}$ to Cu= $E^o_{1}=0.34 V$

Oxidation at anode:

$Fe(s)\rightarrow Fe^{2+}(aq)+2e^-$

Reduction potential of $Fe^{2+}$ to Fe= $E^o_{2}=-0.44 V$

To calculate the $E^o_{cell}$ of the reaction, we use the equation:

$E^o_{cell}=E^o_{red,cathode}-E^o_{red,anode}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$E^o_{cell}=0.34V -(-0.44 V)=0.78 V$

The standard cell potential of the reaction is 0.78 Volts.

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Speed of light

Explanation:

The value 3.0 x 10⁸m/s is taken as the speed of light.

It is a constant.

It implies that light travels a distance of 3 x 10⁸ in just one second.
This value is for the speed of light in a vacuum when there are not particles obstructing its movement.
The speed of electromagnetic radiations in free space is also taken as the speed of light.
