The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

Which of the following best helps explain why an increase in temperature increases the rate of a chemical reaction?

(a)   at higher temperatures, high-energy collisions happen less frequently.

(b)  at low temperatures, low-energy collisions happen more frequently.

(c)   at higher temperatures, less-energy collisions happen less frequently.

(d)  at higher temperatures, high-energy collisions happen more frequently

Explanation:

When we increase the temperature of a chemical reaction then molecules of the reactant species tend to gain kinetic energy. As a result, they come into motion which leads to more number of collisions within the molecules.

Therefore, chemical reaction will take less amount of time in order to reach its end point. This means that there will occur an increase in rate of reaction.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement at higher temperatures, high-energy collisions happen more frequently, best explains why an increase in temperature increases the rate of a chemical reaction.

Ammonia can be produced in the laboratory by heating ammonium chloride
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

Mass = 2.89 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of NH₄Cl = 8.939 g

Mass of Ca(OH)₂ = 7.48 g

Mass of ammonia produced = ?

Solution:

2NH₄Cl   +  Ca(OH)₂     →    CaCl₂ + 2NH₃ + 2H₂O

Number of moles of NH₄Cl:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 8.939 g / 53.5 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.17 mol

Number of moles of Ca(OH)₂ :

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 7.48 g / 74.1 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.10 mol

Now we will compare the moles of ammonia with both reactant.

                      NH₄Cl          :          NH₃

                          2              :           2

                         0.17          :          0.17

                   Ca(OH)₂         :          NH₃

                        1                :           2

                    0.10              :          2/1×0.10 = 0.2 mol

Less number of moles of ammonia are produced by ammonium chloride it will act as limiting reactant.

Mass of ammonia:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.17 mol × 17 g/mol

Mass = 2.89 g

Why increasing the temperature of a gas would increase the volume of its container in gas law?
Zarrin [17]

When the amount of gas in a container is increased, the volume increases. Lussac's law states that the pressure of a given amount of gas held at constant volume is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature.

How many moles of hypomanganous acid. H3 MnO4, are contained in 22.912 g?
gregori [183]

Answer:

0.188mol

Explanation:

Using the formula;

mole = mass/molar mass

Molar mass of hypomanganous acid. (H3MnO4) = 1(3) + 55 + 16(4)

= 3 + 55 + 64

= 122g/mol

According to this question, there are 22.912g of H3MnO4

mole = 22.912g ÷ 122g/mol

mole = 0.188mol
