Answer is: Step A has a greater activation energy, so it is slower than Step B.

Reactions occur faster (not lower) with a catalyst because they require less activation energy.

For all chemical reaction some energy is required and that energy is called activation energy (energy that needs to be absorbed for a chemical reaction to start).

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).

Answer : Option D) Step A has a greater activation energy, so it is slower than Step B.

Explanation : Here we can clearly see that when the reactants undergo step A and then forms an intermediate which goes to step B and then finally yielding products. This both the steps undergo an endothermic reaction as the energy of reactants is lower than that of products. Also we can compare the energy of activation of step A with step B and see that energy of activation of step A is higher than step B. So, step A is much slower than step B.

Element Q has an atomic number 68. Consider the isotope Q-136 how many protons are in a neutral atom of this isotope?

mote1985 [20]

Answer: 68

Explanation:

Isotopes of an element have same number of protons but different number of neutrons. Which means isotopes of an element have same atomic number but different mass number.

Atomic number is equal to the number of protons or the number of electrons for a neutral atom and is specific to a particular element.

Mass number is the sum of number of protons and the number of neutrons.

Given : atomic number of element Q = 68 = number of protons

Mass number of isotope Q-136 = 136

But as isotopes have same atomic number, the number of protons will be same and hence there are 68 protons are in a neutral atom of this isotope.

Consider four different samples: aqueous LiBr , molten LiBr , aqueous AgBr , and molten AgBr . Current run through each sample p

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

a) Aqueous LiBr = Hydrogen Gas

b) Aqueous AgBr = solid Ag

c) Molten LiBr = solid Li

c) Molten AgBr = Solid Ag

Explanation:

a) Aqueous LiBr

This sample produces Hydrogen gas, because the H+ (conteined in the water) has a reduction potential higher than the Li+ from the salt. Therefore the hydrogen cation will reduce instead of the lithium one and form the gas.

b) Aqueous AgBr

This sample produces Solid Ag, because the Ag+ has a reduction potential higher than the H+ from the water. Therefore the silver cation will reduce instead of the hydrogen one and form the solid.

c) Molten LiBr

In a molten binary salt like LiBr there is only one cation present in the cathod. In this case the Li+, so it will reduce and form solid Li.

c) Molten AgBr

The same as the item above: there is only one cation present in the cathod. In this case the Ag+, so it will reduce and form solid Ag.

Molarity to percent by mass. Convert 1.672 mol/L MgCl2(aq) solution to percent by mass of MgCl2 in the solution. The solution de

nignag [31]

Answer:

$\%m/m=14\%$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the molarity of magnesium chloride (molar mass = 95.211 g/mol) is 1.672 mol/L and we know the density of the solution, we can first compute the concentration in g/L as shown below:

$[MgCl_2]=1.672\frac{molMgCl_2}{L}*\frac{95.211gMgCl_2}{1molMgCl_2}=159.2\frac{gMgCl_2}{L}$
