The change of the statue of liberty from copper to green is an example of a chemical change.

<h3>Physical and chemical change</h3>

A physical change does not involve the formation of new substances and the composition of the substance does not change. However, in a chemical change, a new substance is formed and the composition of the substance changes.

The statement that reflect a chemical change is;

The Statue of Liberty’s metal tarnishes from copper to green.

The activation energy of a certain uncatalyzed biochemical reaction is 50.0 kJ/mol. In the presence of a catalyst at 37°C, the r

rodikova [14]

Answer:

E₁ ≅ 28.96 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Given that:

The activation energy of a certain uncatalyzed biochemical reaction is 50.0 kJ/mol,

Let the activation energy for a catalyzed biochemical reaction = E₁

E₁ = ??? (unknown)

Let the activation energy for an uncatalyzed biochemical reaction = E₂

E₂ = 50.0 kJ/mol

= 50,000 J/mol

Temperature (T) = 37°C

= (37+273.15)K

= 310.15K

Rate constant (R) = 8.314 J/mol/k

Also, let the constant rate for the catalyzed biochemical reaction = K₁

let the constant rate for the uncatalyzed biochemical reaction = K₂

If the rate constant for the reaction increases by a factor of 3.50 × 10³ as compared with the uncatalyzed reaction, That implies that:

K₁ = 3.50 × 10³

K₂ = 1

Now, to calculate the activation energy for the catalyzed reaction going by the following above parameter;

we can use the formula for Arrhenius equation;

$K=Ae^{\frac{-E}{RT}}$

If $K_1=Ae^{\frac{-E_1}{RT}} -------equation 1$ &

$K_2=Ae^{\frac{-E_2}{RT}} -------equation 2$

$\frac{K_1}{K_2} = e^{\frac{-E_1-E_2}{RT}$

$E_1= E_2-RT*In(\frac{K_1}{K_2})$

$E_1= 50,000-8.314*310.15*In(\frac{3.50*10^3}{1})$

$E_1 = 28957.39292$ $J/mol$

E₁ ≅ 28.96 kJ/mol

∴ the activation energy for a catalyzed biochemical reaction (E₁) = 28.96 kJ/mol

Predict the sign of the entropy change, ΔS∘, for each of the reaction displayed.Drag the appropriate items to their respective b

Sonja [21]

Answer:

Ag+(aq)+Br−(aq)→AgBr(s) NEGATIVE

CaCO3(s)→CaO(s)+CO2(g)2 POSITIVE

NH3(g)→N2(g)+3H2(g) POSITIVE

2Na(s)+Cl2(g)→2NaCl(s) NEGATIVE

C3H8(g)+5O2(g)→3CO2(g) +4H2O(g) POSITIVE

I2(s)→I2(g) POSITIVE

Explanation:

We have to remember, to solve this problem, that the entropy of a gas is higher than that of a liquid which in turn is higher than the solid. Therefore, comparing the reactants and products look for changes in the state of reactants and products. We also have to look for the increase or decrease of moles of each state based on the balanced chemical reaction.

Ag+(aq)+Br−(aq)→AgBr(s)

The reaction product is a single solid and the the reactants were 2 species in solution. The change in entropy is negative.

CaCO3(s)→CaO(s)+CO2(g)2

Here we have a solid reactant and we have a solid product plus a gas product. The change in entropy is positive.

NH3(g)→N2(g)+3H2(g)

We have 4 mole gases as products starting from 1 mol reactant gas, the entropy has increased.

2Na(s)+Cl2(g)→2NaCl(s)

In this reaction 2 mol solid Na and 1 mol Cl₂ gas are converted into 2 mol solid NaCl, the entropy has decreased.

C3H8(g)+5O2(g)→3CO2(g) +4H2O(g)

The products are 7 mol of gas versus 6 mol of gas reactants and therefore entropy has increased.

I2(s)→I2(g)

1 mol solid I₂ goes into 1 mol gas making the change in the entropy higher.

Which statement correctly describes compounds?

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

A compound is a pure substance because its molecule cannot be broken down into simpler particles by physical means. A compound is not a pure substance because it is not an element, and only elements are pure substances.
