Answer is: <span>a hill over which a wagon is pushed.
</span>For all chemical reaction some energy is required and that energy is called activation energy (<span>energy that needs to be absorbed for a chemical reaction to start)<span>.
There are two types of reaction: endothermic reaction (chemical reaction that absorbs more energy than it releases) and exothermic reaction (chemical reaction that releases more energy than it absorbs).
</span></span>R<span>eactions occur faster with a catalyst because they require less activation energy.</span>

A compound's molecular formula must always be different than the compound's empirical formula. TRUE FALSE
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer: False

Explanation:

Molecular formula is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.  

Empirical formula is the simplest chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

Example: CH_4 has similar molecular formula and empirical formula as the elements are already present in simplest of the ratios.

C_2H_2 has molecular formula of C_2H_2 but CH as the empirical formula.

Hydrogen peroxide decomposes in presence of manganese (iv) oxide to give oxygen gas i). Draw a labelled diagram to show the volu
Effectus [21]

Answer:

Oxygen can be made from hydrogen peroxide, which decomposes slowly to form water and oxygen:

hydrogen peroxide → water + oxygen

2H2O2(aq) → 2H2O(l) + O2(g)

The rate of reaction can be increased using a catalyst, manganese(IV) oxide. When manganese(IV) oxide is added to hydrogen peroxide, bubbles of oxygen are given off.

Apparatus arranged to measure the volume of gas in a reaction. Reaction mixture is in a flask and gas travels out through a pipe in the top and down into a trough of water. It then bubbles up through a beehive shelf into an upturned glass jar filled with water. The gas collects at the top of the jar, forcing water out into the trough below.

To make oxygen in the laboratory, hydrogen peroxide is poured into a conical flask containing some manganese(IV) oxide. The gas produced is collected in an upside-down gas jar filled with water. As the oxygen collects in the top of the gas jar, it pushes the water out.

Instead of the gas jar and water bath, a gas syringe could be used to collect the oxygen

Answer:

The average kinetic energy of the gas particles is greater in container B because it has a higher temperature.

Explanation:

<em>The correct option would be that the average kinetic energy of the gas particles is greater in container B because it has a higher temperature.</em>

<u>According to the kinetic theory of matter, the temperate of a substance is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules of substance. In other words, the higher the temperature of a substance, the higher the average kinetic energy of the molecules of the substance.</u>

In the illustration, the gas in container B showed a higher temperature than that of container A as indicated on the thermometer, it thus means that the average kinetic energy of the molecules of gas B is higher than those of gas A.

Alkene on Hydration yield Alcohols. When Asymmetric Alkenes are treated with water in the presence of acid they follow Markovnikoff rule, and the Hydrogen of incoming reagent goes to that carbon which contain more number of Hydrogen atoms. The reverse (Anti-Markovnikoff) is done by carrying out Hydroboration reaction.In this case the Hydrogen atom of incoming reagent goes to that carbon which contains less number of Hydrogen atoms. In this reaction both -H and -OH adds in syn fashion. The Hydroboration reaction of Chloestrol is shown below,

What kind of intermolecular forces act between two ammonia molecules
iragen [17]

Answer:

extensive hydrogen bonding

Explanation:

The high boiling points of water, hydrogen fluoride (HF) and ammonia (NH3) is an effect of the extensive hydrogen bonding between the molecules. The London dispersion force is caused by random and temporary changes in the polarity of atoms, caused by the location of the electrons in the atoms' orbitals.

Hope this helps :)
