A reaction is started with both reactants and products and proceeds in the reverse direction to reach equilibrium. Which of the

following statements best describes why the reaction proceeds in the reverse direction?
A) The initial rate of the reverse reaction is greater than the initial rate of the forward reaction.
B) The rate constant of the reverse reaction is greater than the rate constant of the forward reaction.
C) The activation energy of the reverse reaction is less than the activation energy of the forward reaction.
D) The reactants are lower in energy than the products.

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.

A cube with edge = 1.00” of an unknown pure substance has a mas off 10.0 oz. what is the density of this substance in g/mL? In k
max2010maxim [7]

Answer 1) The density of the cube will be 17.30 g/mL

We know the edge that is 1 inch, we have to convert it into cc which will be;


1" = 16.38 cc and cc = mL


The given mass is in oz, we need to convert this as well in g;


10 oz = 283.495 g;


We have the formula as Mass = Density / Volume


Substituting the values; Density = (283.495 / 16.38) = 17.30 g/mL



So the density will be 17.30 g/mL


Answer 2) The density of cube will be 1.738 Kg/L


The same procedure of conversion would be done here,


Mass in Kg will be 0.02834 Kg and Volume will be 0.0163 L


On solving with the equation as Mass = Density /  Volume;


Density = (0.02834 / 0.0163) = 1.738 Kg/L


Hence, the density will be 1.738 Kg/L

Suppose you have an Internet friend who study chemistry just like you are your friend claims the change from liquid water to wat
svlad2 [7]
It is not a chemical change because a chemical change is when the substance changes to a whole new substance (ex rust on a car) ex2(fire burning wood) it’s not the same substance) it is a physical change because it’s still water basically (ex: like melting ice, it’s still ice( not a whole different substance)
