A reaction, such as this one, starts with a reactant. It needs to have activation energy in order to change to the product, as shown by the hump in the graph. At the top of the hump is the transition state. This is the point where, after enough energy, the reactant will turn into the product. This reaction is exothermic. Since the product has less energy than the reactant, it had to have released energy somehow, and that energy was released in the form of heat, which makes it exothermic. (Exothermic reactions release heat, vs. endothermic reactions which absorb heat).

Bonus: a catalyst can be used to lower the activation energy by giving the reaction a “kick start,” requiring less energy in the reaction for the reactant to turn into the product.

A student weighed out a 2.055 g sample of a cobalt chloride hydrate, ConClmpH2O, where n, m, and p are integer values to be dete

topjm [15]

The given mass of cobalt chloride hydrate = 2.055 g

A sample of cobalt chloride hydrate was heated to drive off waters of hydration and the anhydrate was weighed.

The mass of anhydrous cobalt chloride = 1.121 g anhydrate.

The mass of water lost during heating = 2.055 g - 1.121 g = 0.934 g

Converting mass of water of hydration present in the hydrate to moles using molar mass:

Mass of water = 0.934 g

Molar mass of water = 18.0 g/mol

Moles of water = $0.934 g * \frac{1 molH_{2}O }{18 g H_{2}O } =0.0519 mol H_{2}O$

Whether or not the process is observed in nature, which of the following could account for the transformation of gallium-67 to z

Sonja [21]

Answer:

Option a: positron emission.

Explanation:

In the transformation we have:

⁶⁷Ga → ⁶⁷Zn

The reaction is:

$^{67}_{Z}X \rightarrow ^{67}_{Z -1}Y$

For Ga to become Zn, the atom nucleus has to lose a proton, so in the given options, the reaction that involves the transformation of a proton is the option a, positron emission.

In a positron emission, a proton becomes into a neutron and a positron:

$^{A}_{Z}X \rightarrow ^{A}_{Z-1}Y + ^{0}_{+1}e$

Therefore, the correct answer is option a: positron emission.

I hope it helps you!

Which subatomic particle is involved in chemical bonding and is responsible for an element's reactivity?

Murrr4er [49]

There are three different subatomic particles present in the atoms of each element: neutron, proton and electron. It is the electrons, and more specifically the valence electrons, that determine the reactivity of an element.
