Answer: Molecules of gas are usually far apart and can be compressed unlike molecules of liquids.

Explanation:

The molecules of gases are usually far apart, moving freely and randomly, occupying extra space in the containing vessel. Hence, when compressed to become closely packed, gases have lower volume.

However, unlike gases, the molecules of a liquid are restricted, move less freely and occupy no extra space. Hence, liquids cannot be compressed, and their volume remains the same in their containing vessel.

The question is incomplete, complete question is :

The frequency factors for these two reactions are very close to each other in value. Assuming that they are the same, compute the ratio of the reaction rate constants for these two reactions at 25°C.

$\frac{K_1}{K_2}=?$

Activation energy of the reaction 1 , $Ea_1$ = 14.0 kJ/mol

Activation energy of the reaction 2, $Ea_1$ = 11.9 kJ/mol

Answer:

0.4284 is the ratio of the rate constants.

Explanation:

According to the Arrhenius equation,

$K=A\times e^{\frac{-Ea}{RT}}$

The expression used with catalyst and without catalyst is,

$\frac{K_2}{K_1}=\frac{A\times e^{\frac{-Ea_2}{RT}}}{A\times e^{\frac{-Ea_1}{RT}}}$

$\frac{K_2}{K_1}=e^{\frac{Ea_1-Ea_2}{RT}}$

where,

$K_2$ = rate constant reaction -1

$K_1$ = rate constant reaction -2

Activation energy of the reaction 1 , $Ea_1$ = 14.0 kJ/mol = 14,000 J

Activation energy of the reaction 2, $Ea_1$ = 11.9 kJ/mol = 11,900 J

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/ mol K

T = temperature = $25^oC=273+25=298 K$

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

$\frac{K_1}{K_2}=e^{\frac{11,900- 14,000Jl}{8.314 J/mol K\times 298 K}}=2.3340$

0.4284 is the ratio of the rate constants.

Two substances are combined and react. After 10 minutes, the chemical reaction has reached equilibrium. Which values would be eq

galina1969 [7]

The extra conversion of concentration of reactant and product should be zero in order to attaining equlibrium state.

<h3>What is equilibrium?</h3>

Chemical equilibrium refers to the state in which both the reactants and products are present in equal concentrations or amount. In equlibrium, same amount of reactant is converted into product and product into reactant.

So we can conclude that the extra conversion of concentration of reactant and product should be zero in order to attaining equlibrium state.

What is the volume, in cubic meters, of an object that is 0.21 m long, 4.7 m wide, and 5.3 m high?

oee [108]

Answer:

The formula for volume of a rectangle is length multiply by width multiply thus, 0.25 m multiply 6.1 m multiply by 4.9 m = 7.5m^3.

Explanation:

the least number of significant figures is 2 thus the final answer will have the same number of significant figures. 7.5m^3

Which statement is true of a chemical change?

Andru [333]

The appropriate answer is a. it involves a change in the molecular structure of the substance. A change in phase or state is referred to as a physical change. For example...liquid water freezing is a physical change because the state changes but solid water is still H20. Separating water into its constituent atoms, hydrogen and oxygen is a chemical change because the molecular structure of water is now non existent.
