What affects the rates of reactions? describe each. a. b.?

1 answer:

4 0

Rates can be calculated with Arrhenius equation k = Axe^(-Ea/RT)
a. temperature affects the rate - imagine you are making coffee, so coffee crystals are boiled faster on higher temperature. Simplified but makes sense.
b. Ea is activation energy. Imagine, while preparing coffee, some of ingredients change to a different one, so there is a A -> B reaction (simplified). Now, Ea is energy barrier that stands on the arrow of this reaction, preventing A to transform to B. If Ea is small, reaction will go easy (not fast!), if Ea is large –reaction will not happen so easy (you ll have to use catalyst for example)

Solid, Liquid, and Gas

Solid is the state in which matter maintains a fixed volume and shape; liquid is the state in which matter adapts to the shape of its container but varies only slightly in volume; and gas is the state in which matter expands to occupy the volume and shape of its container.

The true absorbance for a 1.0 x 10 −5 M solution is 0.7526. If the percentage stray light for a spectrophotometer is 0.56%, calc

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The percentage deviation is $\Delta M = 1.87$ %

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The concentration is of the solution is $C = 1.0*10^{-5} M$

The true absorbance A = 0.7526

The percentage of transmittance due to stray light $z = 0.56$ % $=\frac{0.56}{100} = 0.0056$

Generally Absorbance is mathematically represented as

$A = -log T$

Where T is the percentage of true transmittance

Substituting value

$0.7526 = - log T$

$T = 10^{-0.7526}$

$= 0.177$

$= 17.7$ %

The Apparent absorbance is mathematically represented

$A_p = -log (T +z)$

Substituting values

$A_p = -log(0.177 + 0.0056)$

$= -log(0.1826)$

= 0.7385

The percentage by which apparent absorbance deviates from known absorbance is mathematically evaluated as

$\Delta A = \frac{A -A_p}{A} * \frac{100}{1}$

$= \frac{0.7526 - 0.7385}{0.7526} * \frac{100}{1}$

$\Delta A = 1.87$ %

Since Absorbance varies directly with concentration the percentage deviation of the apparent concentration from know concentration is

$\Delta M = 1.87$ %

An element forms an oxide, E₂O₃, and a fluoride, EF₃.(a) Of which two groups might E be a member?

Fittoniya [83]

a) The E might belong to group 13.

As the formula of a chemical compound is derived by the cross multiplication of the valency of the atoms. As formula of the given oxide is and valency of O atom is -2, therefore valency of element E must be +3 in order to obtain E2O3.

Also, in EF3, the valency of E will be +3 because there are three atoms of fluorine who has an individual valency of -1. Thus, e will have the valency of +3.

The Group 13 is the boron group which has the following elements:

Boron
Aluminium
Gallium
Indium
Thallium

All these elements have the valency of +3.

To know more about Valency, refer to this link:

Why does the sun seem to change position in the sky?

Blababa [14]

The first major contributor to the Sun's apparent motion is the fact that Earth orbits the Sun while tilted on its axis. The Earth's axial tilt of approximately 23.5° ensures that observers at different locations will see the Sun reach higher-or-lower positions above the horizon throughout the year.

hope this helps ^^
