Answer:

The value of the activation energy is 240.96 kJ/mol.

Explanation:

According to the Arrhenius equation,

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

\ln k=-\frac{E_a}{RT}+\ln A

\log k=-\frac{E_a}{2.303RT}+\log A

The graph between log(k) and (1/T) will give straight line with negative slope along with the intercept corresponding to the value of A.

Slope f the line = -\frac{E_a}{2.303R}

The slope of the line :

=\frac{\log (k_2)-\log(k_1)}{\frac{1}{T_2}-\frac{1}{T_1}}

T_1=600^oC=600+273K=873 K

k_1=1.87\times 10^{-3} (Ms)^{-1}

T_2=650^oC=650+273K=923K

k_2=0.0113 (Ms)^{-1}

-\frac{E_a}{2.303R}=\frac{\log (k_2)-\log(k_1)}{\frac{1}{T_2}-\frac{1}{T_1}}

-\frac{E_a}{2.303\times 8.314J/K mol}=\frac{\log (0.0113 (Ms)^{-1})-\log(1.87\times 10^{-3} (Ms)^{-1})}{\frac{1}{923 K}-\frac{1}{873 K}}

-E_a=-240,959.466J/mol

E_a=240,959.466 J/mol=240.96 kJ/mol

The value of the activation energy is 240.96 kJ/mol.

The kinetic energy of the products is equal to the energy liberated which is 92.2 keV. But let's convert the unit keV to Joules. keV is kiloelectro volt. The conversion that we need is: 1.602×10⁻¹⁹ <span>joule = 1 eV

Kinetic energy = 92.2 keV*(1,000 eV/1 keV)*(</span>1.602×10⁻¹⁹ joule/1 eV) = 5.76×10²³ Joules

From kinetic energy, we can calculate the velocity of each He atom:
KE = 1/2*mv²
5.76×10²³ Joules = 1/2*(4)(v²)
v = 5.367×10¹¹ m/s

[BrO- ]initial is 0.56 M. 33 seconds later [BrO- ] is 0.14 M. What is the rate of change of [BrO- ] in M/s? (The brackets, [ ],
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

0.013 M/s

Explanation:

Given data

  • Initial concentration of BrO⁻: 0.56 M
  • Final concentration of BrO⁻: 0.14 M
  • Time (t): 33 s

Since the final concentration of BrO⁻ is lower than the initial concentration of BrO⁻, BrO⁻ is dissapearing. The rate of dissapearance of BrO⁻ is:

rBrO⁻ = - Δ [BrO⁻] / t

rBrO⁻ = - (0.14 M - 0.56 M)/ 33 s

rBrO⁻ = 0.013 M/s

How do greenhouse gases affect temperatures on Earth?
Feliz [49]

=>. the function of greenhouse gases are

=>. it captures the heat comming out from the

sun

=>. by capturing the heat it makes our earth

warm

=> if excess of heat will traped by them then

our earth become more warm and this leads

to increase in temperature

=> when the overall temperature will increase

then the ice sheets on pole will melts

and this leads to increase in sea level

=> then the land near water will sinks in water
