<u>Answer:</u> The activation energy of the reverse reaction is 47 kJ/mol

<u>Explanation:</u>

The chemical equation for the decomposition of dinitrogen pentaoxide follows:

N_2O_5\rightleftharpoons 2NO_2+\frac{1}{2}O_2

We are given:

Activation energy of the above reaction (forward reaction) = 102 kJ/mol

Enthalpy of the reaction = +55 kJ/mol

As, the enthalpy of the reaction is positive, the reaction is said to be endothermic in nature.

To calculate the activation energy for the reverse reaction, we use the equation:

E_a_{\text{(forward)}}=E_a_{\text{(backward)}}+|\Delta H|

where,

E_a_{\text{(forward)}} = Activation energy of the forward reaction = 102 kJ/mol

E_a_{\text{(backward)}} = Activation energy of the backward reaction = ?

\Delta H = Enthalpy of the reaction = +55 kJ/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

102=E_a_{\text{(backward)}}+55\\\\E_a_{\text{(backward)}}=(102-55)=+47kJ/mol

Hence, the activation energy of the reverse reaction is 47 kJ/mol

If the ph of a solution is decreased from ph 8 to ph 6 it means that the
saw5 [17]

Explanation:

Relation between pH and concentration of hydrogen ions is as follows.

                  pH = -log [H^{+}]

So, it means that an increase in the value of pH will show that there occurs a decrease in concentration of hydrogen ions.

Therefore, the solution becomes basic in nature.

On the other hand, a decrease in the value of pH will show that there occurs an increase in the concentration of hydrogen ions.

Therefore, the solution becomes more acidic in nature.

Hence, if the pH of a solution is decreased from pH 8 to pH 6 it means that the concentration of hydrogen ions has increased in the solution.

a 360mg sample of sugar (molar mass of 180 g/mol) is dissolved in enough water to produce 200mL of solution. after the sugar is
Pie
360 mg / 1000    => 0.36 g

molar mass => 180 /mol

number of moles:

mass of solute / molar mass

0.36 / 180 => 0.002 moles

Volume solution = 200 mL / 1000 => 0.2 L

M = n / V

M = 0.002 / 0.2

M = 0.01 mol/L

hope this helps!
