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)

How many grams of water are made from the reaction of 4.0 grams of hydrogen gas with the given reaction 2H2+O2--->2H2O
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

The mass of water is 36 g.

Explanation:

Mass of hydrogen = 4 g

Mass of water = ?

Solution:

First of all we will write the balance chemical equation:

2H₂ + O₂  →  2H₂O

Number of moles of hydrogen = mass / molar mass

Number of moles of hydrogen = 4 g/ 2 g/mol

Number of moles of hydrogen = 2 mol

Now we compare the moles of water with hydrogen from balance chemical equation.

                               H₂     :     H₂O

                                2      :       2

Mass of water = moles × molar mass

Mass of water =  2 mol × 18 g/mol

Mass of water =  36 g

If the water oxygen is in excess than mass of water would be 36 g.

When an excited electron in an atom moves to the ground state, the electron
kodGreya [7K]

Answer is: (4) emits energy as it moves to a lower energy state.

Atom emits a characteristic set of discrete wavelengths, according to its electronic energy levels.

Emission spectrum of a chemical element is the spectrum of frequencies emitted due to an atom making a transition from a high energy state to a lower energy state.  

Each transition has a specific energy difference.  

Each element's emission spectrum is unique.

Identify the situation where work is being done. Carrying a box of crayons across the room. Lifting a backpack off the floor Hol
Likurg_2 [28]
Lifting the backpack off the floor. Force is being applied in only one direction then (up) which is what constitutes as work. Carrying the box of crayons applies force in two directions (up and forward), which cancel each other out. Work has a vector, which is a quantity containing both direction and magnitude (one, finite direction, not two).

Write the balanced chemical equation where liquid decane burns in oxygen gas to form carbon dioxide gas and water vapor. Use the
Allushta [10]

Answer:

2C_{10} H_{22(l)} + 31O2(g)--> 20CO_{2(g)} + 22H_{2}O_{(g)}

Explanation:

2C_{10} H_{22(g)} + 31O2(g)--> 20CO_{2(g)} + 22H_{2}O_{(g)}

From the question, one can work out which states of matter to assign to which species. The trick with organic equations of this nature is to try to balance everything but oxygen first. Make sure you balance oxygen last because it is the easiest to balance.
