Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Activation energy or free energy of a transition state is defined as the  minimum amount of energy required to by reactant molecules to undergo a chemical reaction.

So, when activation energy is decreased then molecules with lesser amount of energy can also participate in the reaction. This leads to an increase in rate of reaction.  

Also, increase in temperature will help in increasing the rate of reaction.

Whereas at a given temperature, every molecule will have different energy because every molecule travels at different speed.

Hence, we can conclude that out of the given options false statement is that at a given temperature and time all molecules in a solution or a sample will have the same energy.

Which of the following will have a larger radius than zinc ? Gallium (Ga) Magnesium (Mg) Aluminum (Al) Strontium (St)
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

Strontium (St)

Explanation:

The atom that will have a larger radius than zinc is strontium, Sr.

Atomic radius is defined as the half of the inter-nuclear distance between two covalently bonded atoms of non-metallic elements or half of the distance between two nuclei in the solid state of metals.

  • Across the period atomic radii decreases progressively due to the increase in nuclear charge.
  • Down a group atomic radii increase progressively due to the successive shells of electrons being added.
  • Since strontium satisfies the criteria, it has the larger atomic radius.

Why do we need to standardize EDTA in determination of water hardness?​
bonufazy [111]
Standardized means that a specific amount EDTA is added to a specific volume of distilled water. Water hardness is determined by the the amount of a standard EDTA solution to change the color of the water from red to blue. For example if one added the correct amount of EDTA to twice the volume of distilled water the solution would be weak. Titration of the hard water would give a erroneous high result.

Why do you think the location surrounding the pacific ocean is known as the ring of fire
snow_tiger [21]
It is on a plate boundary so there are a lot of volcanoes in that area. All the volcanoes form a "ring" around the plate boundary.

Part a the sun produces energy via fusion. one of the fusion reactions that occurs in the sun is 411h→42he+201e how much energy
Orlov [11]
The equation for the nuclear fusion reaction is,
4 ¹₁H → ₂⁴He + 2 ₁⁰e
Calculation of mass defect,
Δm = [mass of products - mass of reactants]
      = 4(1.00782) - [4.00260 + 2(0.00054858)]
      = 0.0275828 g/mole
Given that,
Mass of Hydrogen-1 = 2.58 g
The no. of moles of ₁¹H = 2.58 g / 1.00782 = 2.56 moles
Therefore, the mass defect for 2.58 g of ₁¹H is, 
= 2.56 moles * (0.0275828 g / 4) = 0.01765 x 10⁻³ kg
Energy for (0.01765 x 10⁻³ kg) is, 
= (0.01765 x 10⁻³ kg) (3.0 x 10⁸)² = 1.59 x 10¹² J
