Answer:
Option A
Explanation:
A) Yes. The reaction reaches equilibrium when the rate of reaction of the reverse reaction is equal to the rate of the forward reaction , then the only cause for the reverse reaction to be favoured is that the initial rate of the reverse was greater than the forward one.
B) No. The rate constant of the reverse reaction can be greater than the forward one but the rate also depends on concentrations, thus a reverse reaction with greater rate constant can result in the net reaction proceeding in the forward reaction, the reverse reaction or be at equilibrium depending on the concentrations or reactants and products
C) No. A lower activation energy means a higher rate constant , but a higher rate constant does not mean that the net reaction will proceed to the reactants ( see point B)
D) No. The energy changes determine conditions under thermodynamic equilibrium and therefore the net direction of the reaction will depend on the temperature and concentrations of reactants and products with respect to the equilibrium conditions.
Answer:
Increasing atomic number - True
Explanation:
The modern table is based on Mendeleev’s table, except the modern table arranges the elements by increasing atomic number instead of atomic mass.
The Atomic number is the number of protons in an atom, and this number is unique for each element. For example, Hydrogen has an atomic number of 1, Calcium has an atomic number of 20.
In the modern periodic table the elements are further arranged into:
- rows, called periods, in order of increasing atomic number. Elements in the same periods have the same number of shells.
- vertical columns, called groups, where the elements have similar properties. Elements in the same group has the same number of valency (outermost number of electrons)
Answer:
3.81 g Pb
Explanation:
When a lead acid car battery is recharged, the following half-reactions take place:
Cathode: PbSO₄(s) + H⁺ (aq) + 2e⁻ → Pb(s) + HSO₄⁻(aq)
Anode: PbSO₄(s) + 2 H₂O(l) → PbO₂(s) + HSO₄⁻(aq) + 3H⁺ (aq) + 2e⁻
We can establish the following relations:
- 1 A = 1 c/s
- 1 mole of Pb(s) is deposited when 2 moles of e⁻ circulate.
- The molar mass of Pb is 207.2 g/mol
- 1 mol of e⁻ has a charge of 96468 c (Faraday's constant)
Suppose a current of 96.0A is fed into a car battery for 37.0 seconds. The mass of lead deposited is:
