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)

4. The volume of a sample of a gas at STP is 200.0 ml. If the pressure is increased to 4.00 atmospheres (temperature constant),
Elina [12.6K]

Answer : The value of new volume is, 50.0 mL

Explanation :

Boyle's Law : It is defined as the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

P\propto \frac{1}{V}

or,

P_1V_1=P_2V_2

where,

P_1 = initial pressure at STP = 1 atm

P_2 = final pressure =  4.00  atm

V_1 = initial volume at STP = 200.0 mL

V_2 = final volume = ?

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

1atm\times 200.0mL=4.00atm\times V_2

V_2=50.0mL

Therefore, the value of new volume is, 50.0 mL

Science is based primarily on peoples opinions and views of the subject matter.
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Science is not based on primarily on peoples opinions and views of the subject matter whereas science is based on empirical observations and research for its validity.

<u>Science aims to find answers to human questions related to the natural world through their research observation and experiments. Scientists and researchers provide valid proof of human questions so that people can trust them.</u>

Science can change people's opinions regarding the natural world with valid proof and observational theories but science is not based on people's opinion.

Hence, the given statement is "false".
