Explanation:

When three or more particles collide with each other then there are less chances that all of them collide with correct energy and orientation.

So, it is very important for the occurrence of a chemical reaction that its particles or molecules which are taking place in the reaction should have a sufficient amount of energy.

Also, these particles must collide with proper orientation so that they combine at the correct location to result in the formation of product(s).

Thus, we can conclude that energy and proper orientation determines whether a reaction will take place.

A chemical reaction occurs only when the collision between the reacting molecules takes place. However, not all the collisions are efficient in making the reaction. The products are produced only when the molecules colliding exhibits a certain kind of minimum energy known as threshold energy.  

The threshold energy refers to the least amount of energy needed for the reactants to collide effectively, and to produce the activated complex. It is kinetic energy in supplementation with the energy of activation. Hence, threshold energy is more in comparison to the activation energy.

Assume a gasoline is isooctane, which has a density of 0.692 g/ml. What is the mass of 3.8 gal of the gasoline (1 gal = 3.78 l)?
sveticcg [70]

Density is the ratio of mass to the volume.

The mathematical expression is given as:

density=\frac{mass}{volume}

Now, density of isooctane = 0.692 g/mL

Volume  = 3.8 gal

Since, 1 gallon = 3.78 L

So, 3.8 gal = 3.78 L\times 3.8

= 14.364 L

As, 1 L = 1000 mL

Therefore, 14.364 L= 14.364 L\times 1000 mL

Volume in mL = 14364 mL

Put the values,

0.692 g/mL=\frac{mass}{14364 mL}

m = 0.692 g/mL\times 14364 mL

= 9939.888 g

Hence, mass of 3.8 gal of the gasoline is 9939.888 g.

Propane, C3H8, consists of ________________ bonds and it can be expected to dissolve in hexane and to not dissolve in water.
PtichkaEL [24]

Non-polar covalent

Explanation:

Propane is made up of non-polar covalent bonds and it can be expected to dissolve in hexane and to not dissolve in water.

Propane is an hydrocarbon gas.

It forms by sharing of electrons between two atoms with very low electronegativity differences.

This differences results in equal sharing of the shared electron. Therefore they form a non-polar covalent bond.

Water is a polar covalent compound and cannot dissolve compounds that are not polar like propane.

Propane will only dissolve in a like substance like hexane which is equally non-polar.

How much pure acid is in 520 milliliters of a 13 ​% ​solution?
Liono4ka [1.6K]
It actually depends on the percentage of the concentration give. Percentages can be expressed as %mass/mass, %volume/volume or %mass/volume. To keep things simple, let's just assume that it is in %volume/volume. Thus, 13% of 520 mL is pure acid.

Volume of pure acid = 520*0.13 = 67.6 mL
