Answer:
Rate depends on the rate constant. The rate constant depends on temperature and activation energy. If you have lower activation energy the rate will be higher. This is why catalysts are added since catalysts provide an alternate pathway that requires lower activation energy and catalysts are added to increase the rate of reaction.
Explanation:
This is only the answer if you were asking:
"Which corresponds to the faster rate: a mechanism with a small activation energy or one with a large activation energy?"
Thats what I understood about your question.
Explanation:
(1) Nuclear reactions involve a change in an atom's nucleus, usually producing a different element. Chemical reactions, on the other hand, involve only a rearrangement of electrons and do not involve changes in the nuclei. ... (3) Rates of chemical reactions are influenced by temperature and catalysts.
i dont think their are a exact number
Given reaction represents dissociation of bromine gas to form bromine atoms
Br2(g) ↔ 2Br(g)
The enthalpy of the above reaction is given as:
ΔH = ∑n(products)Δ
- ∑n(reactants)Δ
where n = number of moles
Δ
= enthalpy of formation
ΔH = [2*ΔH(Br(g)) - ΔH(Br2(g))] = 2*111.9 - 30.9 = 192.9 kJ/mol
Thus, enthalpy of dissociation is the bond energy of Br-Br = 192.9 kJ/mol
