If the products of a certain reaction are favored (i.e., the ΔG value of the reaction is negative), one would expect a significa

nt amount of product to form when the reactants are combined. Which of the choices could explain why such a reaction might produce very little product?
A. low activation energy, Ea
B. negative change in entropy, ΔS
C. high activation energy, Ea
D. positive change in enthalpy, ΔH

Answer:

C. High activation Energy, Ea

Explanation:

The activation energy of a chemical reaction affects the rate at which the reaction proceeds regardless of its  ΔG value. The higher the activation energy, the slower the reaction proceeds.

This occurs primarily due to the fact that the molecules of the reacting substances have to attain an energy value which is higher than the activation energy before a reaction starts. This is so even for reactions that are termed spontaneous. Molecules can only complete the reaction once they have reached the top of the activation energy barrier.

If the activation energy is high, only a few molecules will have enough energy to reach this barrier, thus slowing down the chemical reaction.

This makes option C the correct choice.

Answer:

positive H and negative S

Explanation:

For a reaction to be spontaneous, the absolute best combination is a negative Delta H and a positive Delta S. When they are both positive, the reaction is only spontaneous at higher temperatures. When they are both negative, the reaction is only spontaneous at lower temperatures. and again if a catalyst is added to the reaction, the activation energy is lowered because a lower-energy transition state is formed. The catalyst does not affect the energy of the reactants or products (and thus does not affect ΔG).

So from these discussions

Ea does not affect G value at all (whether +Ea or -Ea).

And for product to be formed the reaction should be spontaneous, where H is negative and S positive else the reaction will yield low product.

Pressure is this sample?
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

P = 164 Atm

Explanation:

PV = nRT => P = nRT/V

n = 10.0 moles

R = 0.08206 L·Atm/mol·K

T = 27.0°C = 300 K

V = 1.50 Liters

P = (10.0 mol)(0.08206 L·Atm/mol·K )(300 K)/(1.50 Liters) = 164.12 Atm ≅ 164 Atm (3 sig. figs.)

Explain in words or using your diagrams how beryllium atoms would react with fluorine atoms.
Marysya12 [62]

Explanation:

To delineate the the nature of the bonds that would be formed between the two elements, let us first write the electronic configuration of the two species;

  Be  = 2, 2

  F  = 2, 7

 Beryllium is a metal with two valence electrons whereas fluorine is a halogen with seven valence electrons.

When Be loses two electrons it becomes isoelectronic with He;

                 Be →  Be²⁺ + 2e⁻  

Also, when fluorine gains  an electron, it becomes isoelectronic with Ne;

               F  + e⁻ →  F⁻

This loss and gain of electrons between the two elements creates an electrostatic attraction them and they enter into an electrovalent bond.

      Hence;

           Be²⁺  + 2F⁻ → BeF₂
