The activation energy decreases with increase in temperature.why?

2 answers:

Answer: If we increase the temperature, the kinetic energy of the molecules will increase and they will need less extra energy and hence lesser activation energy to overcome the threshold energy barrier.

Answer: activation energy is the minimum energy required for reactants to be converted to products.

Explanation:increase in temperature, weakens the bonds between molecules of reactants, thereby the molecules' kinetic energy is increased which led to frequent collusion of reactants molecules, when this happens, energy is produce.the higher the temperature of a reaction the more the collusion and the more energy is produced, which we lead to reaching the activation the activation energy faster and more products are formed

Characteristics of α, β, and γ rays

Allisa [31]

Answer:

1. it is symbolized as 4/2 He : Alpha rays

2. it has the weakest penetrating power : Alpha rays

3. It is a high-speed electron : beta rays

4. It possesses neither mass nor charge : gamma rays

5. it has the strongest penetrating power : beta rays

6. its is symbolized as 0/-1e : beta rays

7. it is the most massive of all the components: alpha rays

Explanation:

Let us consider the characteristics of each of the given rays.

α rays: These are helium nucleus so are symbolized by $He^{4}_{2}$

Due to two protons and two neutrons unlike beta and gamma rays these are the most massive and thus have least penetrating power among the three given rays.

β rays: These are actually high speed electrons and are symbolized as $^{0}_{-1}e$ . Due to lesser mass than alpha rays they are more penetrating than them however less penetrating than gamma rays.

γ rays : They carry no charge or mass. Due to least massive among the three rays they have highest penetrating power.

[06.01]The same amount of heat is removed from 2 kg of water and from 1 kg of water starting at the same temperature. What will

liq [111]

<span>Answer: The 1 kg of water will reach the lowest temperature
</span>
Both of the objects is water so their specific heat should be same. The heat removed from the 2kg of water which is 2 times of mass than the 1kg water. Since the heat removed, both of their temperatures will drops. But 2kg water temperature drops will be half of 1kg water.

Most of the chemicals included in your introductory chemistry lab kit can be discarded down a drain with copious amounts of wate

il63 [147K]

Answer:

Explanation:

To neutralize a chemical to a pH of 7 before discarding, one would require a significant amount of acids or bases. Our best guess is that the solution in itself is either an acid or a base. Neutralization with the right amount of a proper reagent can bring the pH of the solution to a neutral 7.

If the solution has a pH originally greater than 7, add a corresponding amount of acid to it. This will reduce the concentration and bring it to a neutral point. Provided one is dealing with a solution of pH less than 7, simply add a base to to bring the solution to neutrality.

I need the answers to these quick!!

Dmitrij [34]

I haven't taken biology in a few years, so I may be wrong, but to me it looks like mitosis, since it only divides once, and if I can see the picture correctly it looks like each cell contains the same amount of chromosomes, but I can't see the picture very well. If it helps here are some differences between meiosis and mitosis:

1. Cell Division

Mitosis: A somatic cell divides once. Cytokinesis (the division of the cytoplasm) occurs at the end of telophase.

Meiosis: A reproductive cell divides twice. Cytokinesis happens at the end of telophase I and telophase II.

2. Daughter Cell Number

Mitosis: Two daughter cells are produced. Each cell is diploid containing the same number of chromosomes.

Meiosis: Four daughter cells are produced. Each cell is haploid containing one-half the number of chromosomes as the original cell.

3. Genetic Composition

Mitosis: The resulting daughter cells in mitosis are genetic clones (they are genetically identical). No recombination or crossing over occur.

Meiosis: The resulting daughter cells contain different combinations of genes. Genetic recombination occurs as a result of the random segregation of homologous chromosomes into different cells and by the process of crossing over (transfer of genes between homologous chromosomes).

4. Length of Prophase

Mitosis: During the first mitotic stage, known as prophase, chromatin condenses into discrete chromosomes, the nuclear envelope breaks down, and spindle fibers form at opposite poles of the cell. A cell spends less time in prophase of mitosis than a cell in prophase I of meiosis.

Meiosis: Prophase I consists of five stages and lasts longer than prophase of mitosis. The five stages of meiotic prophase I are leptotene, zygotene, pachytene, diplotene, and diakinesis. These five stages do not occur in mitosis. Genetic recombination and crossing over take place during prophase I.

5. Tetrad Formation

Mitosis: Tetrad formation does not occur.

Meiosis: In prophase I, pairs of homologous chromosomes line up closely together forming what is called a tetrad. A tetrad consists of four chromatids (two sets of sister chromatids).

6. Chromosome Alignment in Metaphase

Mitosis: Sister chromatids (duplicated chromosome comprised of two identical chromosomes connected at the centromere region) align at the metaphase plate (a plane that is equally distant from the two cell poles).

Meiosis: Tetrads (homologous chromosome pairs) align at the metaphase plate in metaphase I.

7. Chromosome Separation

Mitosis: During anaphase, sister chromatids separate and begin migrating centromere first toward opposite poles of the cell. A separated sister chromatid becomes known as daughter chromosome and is considered a full chromosome.

Meiosis: Homologous chromosomes migrate toward opposite poles of the cell during anaphase I. Sister chromatids do not separate in anaphase I.

I can add the similarities between them if you need. This work is not mine, I got it from thoughtCo.

Good luck :)

A bottle of concentrated aqueous sulfuric acid, labeled 98.0 wt% h2so4, has a concentration of 18.0 m. (a) how many milliliters

nadya68 [22]

<span>n this order, Ď=1.8gmL, cm=0.5, and mole fraction = 0.9 First, let's start with wt%, which is the symbol for weight percent. 98wt% means that for every 100g of solution, 98g represent sulphuric acid, H2SO4. We know that 1dm3=1L, so H2SO4's molarity is C=nV=18.0moles1.0L=18M In order to determine sulphuric acid solution's density, we need to find its mass; H2SO4's molar mass is 98.0gmol, so 18.0moles1Lâ‹…98.0g1mole=1764g1L Since we've determined that we have 1764g of H2SO4 in 1L, we'll use the wt% to determine the mass of the solution 98.0wt%=98g.H2SO4100.0g.solution=1764gmasssolutionâ†’ masssolution=1764gâ‹…100.0g98g=1800g Therefore, 1L of 98wt% H2SO4 solution will have a density of Ď=mV=1800g1.0â‹…103mL=1.8gmL H2SO4's molality, which is defined as the number of moles of solute divided by the mass in kg of the solvent; assuming the solvent is water, this will turn out to be cm=nH2SO4masssolvent=18moles(1800â’1764)â‹…10â’3kg=0.5m Since mole fraction is defined as the number of moles of one substance divided by the total number of moles in the solution, and knowing the water's molar mass is 18gmol, we could determine that 100g.solutionâ‹…98g100gâ‹…1mole98g=1 mole H2SO4 100g.solutionâ‹…(100â’98)g100gâ‹…1mole18g=0.11 moles H2O So, H2SO4's mole fraction is molefractionH2SO4=11+0.11=0.9</span>
