Answer:

The correct answer is:

Reaction B is more likely to occur at all than reaction A.

Explanation:

The activation energy in chemistry is the smallest amount of energy required to cause chemical or nuclear reaction in the reactants in chemical or nuclear systems. The activation energy is denoted by E_{a}, and it is measured in Joules (J), KiloJoules (KJ) or Kilocalories per mole (Kcal/mol)

The activation energy can be thought of simply as the minimum amount of energy required to overcome a barrier that prevents a reaction from occurring, hence, from our question, if Reaction A has a high activation energy, it means that the barrier to be overcome before a reaction will occur is large, meaning that the reaction system is more stable and the reaction is less likely to occur than Reaction B which has a low activation energy, meaning that just a relatively small amount of energy, when applied to the reaction system, will initiate a reaction, making it more likely to occur than reaction A.

You should also note that catalysts are substances that are capable of reducing the activation energy of a system, but remains unchanged at the end of the system.

Answer:

1) d = 2.4 g/cm³

2) m = 25 g

3) v = 126.7 cm³

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of material = 24 g

Volume of material = 10 cm³

Density of material = ?

Solution:

Formula:

d = m/v

by putting value,

d = 24 g / 10 cm³

d = 2.4 g/cm³

2) Given data:

Density of material = 5 g/cm³

Volume of material = 5 cm³

Mass of material = ?

Solution:

Formula:

d = m/v

5 g/cm³ = m / 5 cm³

m = 5 g/cm³×5 cm³

m = 25 g

3)Given data:

Density of material = 3 g/cm³

Mass of material = 380 g

Volume of material =  ?

Solution:

Formula:

d = m/v

3 g/cm³ = 380 g / v

v = 380 g /3 g/cm³

v = 126.7 cm³
