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)

Why is the mass of an iron atom different from the mass of a copper atom?
Jobisdone [24]
They have different number of Neutrons and protons, so their masses are different

What is the molarity of a 2.0L solution that was made up with 4.0 moles of NaCl?
Finger [1]

Answer:

[NaCl]: 2M

Explanation:

This solution is made of NaCl therefore:

Our solute is NaCl

Moles of solute: 4

Our solution's volume is 2L

Molarity are the moles of solute contained in 1L of solution (mol/L)

[NaCl]: 4 mol /2L = 2M

We can also make a rule of three:

In 2 L we have 4 moles of solute

So, In 1 L we must have (1 . 4) /2 = 2 M

Explain the difference between an organic and inorganic compound.
galben [10]
The most common differentiation to help distinguish between organic and inorganic compounds used to be the fact that organic compounds result from the activity of living beings, whereas inorganic compounds are either the result of natural processes unrelated to any life form or the result of human experimentation in the laboratory.<span><span /></span>
