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

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)

A solid mixture consists of 47.6g of KNO3 (potassium nitrate) and 8.4g of K2SO4 (potassium sulfate). The mixture is added to 130

IgorLugansk [536]

<u>Answer:</u> No crystals of potassium sulfate will be seen at 0°C for the given amount.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Mass of potassium nitrate = 47.6 g

Mass of potassium sulfate = 8.4 g

Mass of water = 130. g

Solubility of potassium sulfate in water at 0°C = 7.4 g/100 g

This means that 7.4 grams of potassium sulfate is soluble in 100 grams of water

Applying unitary method:

In 100 grams of water, the amount of potassium sulfate dissolved is 7.4 grams

So, in 130 grams of water, the amount of potassium sulfate dissolved will be $\frac{7.4}{100}\times 130=9.62g$

As, the soluble amount is greater than the given amount of potassium sulfate

This means that, all of potassium sulfate will be dissolved.

Hence, no crystals of potassium sulfate will be seen at 0°C for the given amount.

Both kepler's laws and newton's laws tell us something about the motion of the planets, but there are fundamental differences be

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer: See description

Explanation:

Kepler's laws have three principal points:

1. planets orbit the sun in elliptical paths

2. the orbial period is related to the orbital distance by $T^{2} = d^3$

where T is the orbital period and d is the orbital distance, T is in years and d is measured in units of the earth sun distance.

3. planets closer to the sun move faster than planets far away from it.

Newton:

Newton discovered that there is a consequence to the gravity exerted by objects: mass, the heavier the planet, the more gravitational force it posseses ( thats why we orbit the sun)

with the gravitational force $F_{gravitational} =G \frac{Mm}{r^2}$ newton discovered the inverse-quadratic relationship between the distance of the planets and the acceleration exerted by the force one could exert on another.

Kepler's laws were mostly based on observed evidence with quantitative relationships between the mentioned variables. Newton's laws are based on calculus and symbolic equations. While Kepler's mode is basic, Newton took another step in and build a more general model for gravity (which was improved by general relativity later). In a nutshell Newton proved the scientific causes for Kepler's laws...

HACTEHA [7]

Maybe her old shoes had soft worn out bottoms and she slips in them. So her new shoes had more grip than her old ones so they kept her from falling.
