The larger the energy difference between reactants and products (ΔE), the slower the rate of reaction. true or false

Answer: true

Explanation:

In chemical reactions, an energy barrier exists between reactants and products. The magnitude of this energy barrier determines the rate of reaction. A lesser energy barrier implies that reactants are converted to products faster since the energy required is not too much. On the other hand, a large energy difference between reactants and products will lead to a slow reaction with very poor yield of products if any.

Drupady [299]

Answer is: The reaction will not be spontaneous at any temperature.

Gibbs free energy (G) determines if reaction will proceed spontaneously.
ΔG = ΔH - T·ΔS.
ΔG - changes in Gibbs free energy.
ΔH - changes in enthalpy.
ΔS - changes in entropy.
T is temperature in Kelvins.
When ΔS < 0 (negative entropy change) and ΔH > 0 (endothermic reaction), the process is never spontaneous (ΔG> 0).

How many moles of oxygen atoms are present in 5 moles of Mg3(PO4)2

Irina18 [472]

How many moles of oxygen atoms are present in 5 moles of Mg3(PO4)2

All you have to do is to create a ratio between the molecule and the oxygen atom.

5 moles of Mg3(PO4)2 (4x2 moles O/1 mole Mg3(PO4)2) = 40 moles of oxygen

Anettt [7]

Answer:

The forward reaction is occurring at a faster rate than the reverse reaction.

Explanation:

Reaction quotient (Q) of the given reaction is -

$Q=\frac{[NO]^{2}}{[N_{2}][O_{2}]}$

where [NO], $[N_{2}]$ and $[O_{2}]$ represents concentrations of respective species at a certain time.

Here $[N_{2}]$ = 0.80 M, $[O_{2}]$ = 0.050 M and [NO] = 0.10 M

So, $Q=\frac{(0.10)^{2}}{(0.80)\times (0.050)}=2$

Hence $Q> K$

It means that forward reaction is faster than reverse reaction at that point. Because then only concentration of NO is higher than concentrations of $[N_{2}]$ and $[O_{2}]$ which makes Q higher than K.
