The activation energy of a certain uncatalyzed reaction is 64 kJ/mol. In the presence of a catalyst, the Ea is 55 kJ/mol. How ma

ny times faster is the catalyzed than the uncatalyzed reaction at 400 °C? Assume that the frequency factor remains the same.

Answer:

About 5 times faster.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the Arrhenius equation is considered for both the catalyzed reaction (1) and the uncatalized reaction (2), one determines the relationship between them as follows:

\frac{k_1}{k_2}=\frac{Aexp(-\frac{Ea_1}{RT} )}{Aexp(-\frac{Ea_2}{RT})}  \\\frac{k_1}{k_2}=\frac{exp(-\frac{Ea_1}{RT} )}{exp(-\frac{Ea_2}{RT})}

By replacing the corresponding values we obtain:

\frac{k_1}{k_2}=\frac{exp(-\frac{55000J/mol}{8.314J/molK*673.15K} )}{exp(-\frac{64000J/mol}{8.314J/molK*673.15K} )} =4.8

Such result means that the catalyzed reaction is about five times faster than the uncatalyzed reaction.

Best regards.

<u>Stoichiometry</u>

  • Using Dimensional Analysis
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

[RxN - Balanced]   CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O

[Given]   36 g H₂O

[Solve]   x g O₂

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

[RxN] 2 mol O₂ → 2 mol H₂O

[PT] Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

[PT] Molar Mas of H - 1.01 g/mol

Molar Mass of O₂ - 2(16.00) = 32.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of H₂O - 2(1.01) + 16.00 = 18.02 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Stoichiometry</u>

  1. Set up conversion:                     \displaystyle 36 \ g \ H_2O(\frac{1 \ mol \ H_2O}{18.02 \ g \ H_2O})(\frac{2 \ mol \ O_2}{2 \ mol \  H_2O})(\frac{32.00 \ g \ O_2}{1 \ mol \ O_2})
  2. Divide/Multiply [Cancel Units]:                                                                       \displaystyle 63.929 \ g \ O_2

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 2 sig figs.</em>

63.929 g O₂ ≈ 64 g O₂

Question #1: Identify the type of Mutation below
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

Deletion

Explanation:

A mutation refers to a change in the DNA sequence. This means that the original sequence of bases in the DNA has been altered permanently.

There are three types of DNA mutations;  base substitutions, deletions and insertions.

In the particular case of this question, the original is TTCGATA while the copy is TTGATA. If you look closely at the two, you will notice that the C has been omitted. This is an example of  deletion.

alexandr402 [8]
The correct answer for this question is this one: " a.The solution has a volume of 25 mL "

The observation that shows a quantitative observation is when you are talking about numeric data. Just like this one, <em>The solution has a volume of 25 mL </em>
Hope this helps answer your question and have a nice day ahead.

Which term names elements that are usually shiny and good conductors of heat and electricity?
Sonbull [250]

Elements that are usually shiny and good conductors of heat and electricity are metals.

<h3>What are conductors?</h3>

The conductors are the metal or non metal elements which allow heat and electricity to easily pass through them.

Metals are elements with good conductivity of electric current and heat. Metals have lustre characteristics. They are shiny and bendable just like copper wire, which is a metal.

Hence, elements that are usually shiny and good conductors of heat and electricity are metals.
