Answer:

The activation energy for this reaction = 23 kJ/mol.

Explanation:

Using the expression,

\ln \dfrac{k_{1}}{k_{2}} =-\dfrac{E_{a}}{R} \left (\dfrac{1}{T_1}-\dfrac{1}{T_2} \right )

Where,

k_1\ is\ the\ rate\ constant\ at\ T_1

k_2\ is\ the\ rate\ constant\ at\ T_2

E_a is the activation energy

R is Gas constant having value = 8.314×10⁻³ kJ / K mol  

k_2=2.3\times 10^8

T_2=280\ ^0C  

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15  

So,  

T = (280 + 273.15) K = 553.15 K  

T_2=553.15\ K  

k_1=4.8\times 10^8  

T_1=376\ ^0C  

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15  

So,  

T = (376 + 273.15) K = 649.15 K  

T_1=649.15\ K  

So,  

\left(\ln \left(\:\frac{4.8\times \:\:\:10^8}{2.3\times \:\:\:10^8}\right)\right)\:=-\frac{E_a}{8.314\times \:10^{-3}\ kJ/mol.K}\times \:\left(\frac{1}{649.15\ K}-\frac{1}{553.15\ K}\right)

E_a=-\frac{10^{-3}\times \:8.314\ln \left(\frac{10^8\times \:4.8}{10^8\times \:2.3}\right)}{-\frac{96}{359077.3225}}\ kJ/mol

E_a=-\frac{\frac{8.314\ln \left(\frac{4.8}{2.3}\right)}{1000}}{-\frac{96}{359077.3225}}\ kJ/mol

E_a=22.87\ kJ/mol

<u>The activation energy for this reaction = 23 kJ/mol.</u>

Answer: The positively charged ions will be attracted to the negative electrode and gain electrons. Meanwhile, the negatively charged ions will be attracted to the positive electrode and release electrons.

Explanation:

Electrolysis is breaking down of a substance into its constituents by the action of electrical current.  

LiCl\rightarrow Li^++Cl^-

Cations wich are positively charged specie moves towards the negatively charged electrode that is towards the cathode. On reaching cathode, cations accepts electrons and get reduced through reduction reaction.

Li^++e^-\rightarrow Li

Anions wich are negatively charged specie moves towards the positively charged electrode that is towards the anode. On reaching anode, anions donate electrons and get oxidized through oxidation reaction.

Cl^-\rightarrow Cl+e^-

Which of the following correctly identifies the number of each element involved in the chemical formulas
lakkis [162]
D
If an element doesn’t have a number next to it that means there is only one. There a 4 hydrogens because the number is attached to the hydrogen atom. If there were 4 NH molecules the NH would be in parentheses and the 4 would be outside. Same goes for the oxygen atom and CO3 molecule.
