Which element would release the most energy while adding an electron to a neutral atom in the gas phase?

masya89 [10]

Answer:

Gravity drives all mass wasting.

Explanation:

Mass wasting can be defined as the process of wasting away of earth's outer crust. This movement is also known as slope movement that causes large rock, soil, and debris to move downward, a force driven by gravity.

The term is often used interchangeably with landslide yet it is different. It is also known as mass movement as is cause massive downslope movement of rock, regolith, snow, ice, and-the-like on the earth's outer crust.

<u>All these movements are driven mainly by gravity. Gravity consantly tries to pull the rocks and soil down the slope but the resisting power. also known as shear strength, of moutains helps them to deny the gravitional force.</u>

Thus from the given options the statement that can be said to be true about mass wasting is that mass wasting is driven by gravity. So, the correct option is C.

How do catalysts affect energy of reactions

Strike441 [17]

Explanation:

A catalyst lowers the activation energy of a reaction allowing them to proceed faster than they would naturally. Activation energy is the free energy that is required to be input in the reactant side to activate them to the transition state after which the reaction proceeds spontaneously to products.

An example of a catalyst is platinum, that is put in the exhaust of cars, to help convert carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide before it is emitted into the air.

Picric acid has been used in the leather industry and in etching copper. However, its laboratory use has been restricted because

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

0.3023 M

Explanation:

Let Picric acid = $H_{picric}$

So, $H_{picric}$ + $H_2}O$ ⇄ $H_3}O^+$ + $Picric^-$

The ICE table can be given as:

$H_{picric}$ + $H_2}O$ ⇄ $H_3}O^+$ + $Picric^-$

Initial: 0.52 0 0

Change: - x + x + x

Equilibrium: 0.52 - x + x + x

Given that;

acid dissociation constant ( $K_a$ ) = 0.42

$K_a = \frac{[H_3O^+][Picric^-]}{H_{picric}}$

$0.42 = \frac{[x][x]}{0.52-x}}$

$0.42 = \frac{[x]^2}{0.52-x}}$

0.42(0.52-x) = x²

0.2184 - 0.42x = x²

x² + 0.42x - 0.2184 = 0 -------------------- (quadratic equation)

Using the quadratic formula;

$\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$ ; ( where +/- represent ± )

= $\frac{-0.42+/-\sqrt{(0.42)^2-4(1)(-0.2184)} }{2*1}$

= $\frac{-0.42+/-\sqrt {0.1764+0.8736} }{2}$

= $\frac{-0.42+\sqrt {1.0496} }{2}$ OR $\frac{-0.42-\sqrt {1.0496} }{2}$

= $\frac{-0.42+1.0245}{2}$ OR $\frac{-0.42-1.0245}{2}$

= $\frac{0.6045}{2}$ OR $-\frac{1.4445}{2}$

= 0.30225 OR - 0.72225

So, we go by the +ve integer that says:

x = 0.30225

x = [ $H_3}O^+$ ] = [ $Picric^-$ ] = 0.3023 M

∴ the value of [H3O+] for an 0.52 M solution of picric acid = 0.3023 M (to 4 decimal places).
