The three main rock types are igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary. The three processes that change one rock to another are crystallization, metamorphism, and erosion and sedimentation. Any rock can transform into any other rock by passing through one or more of these processes
The thermal energy of a substance is related to the movement of the particles in the substance. This energy is defined by the temperature of the substance and whether heat is transferred or lost. This can be explained as a higher temperature causes the particles in substances to move faster and collide.
Answer:
<em>What quantity dictates the speed of a reaction?</em> The activation energy
Explanation:
According to the collision theory, when molecules collide, they must overcome an energy barrier for the reaction to take place. This energy, known as activation energy, is represented by the difference in energy between the initial state and the transition state. The higher the activation energy, the slower the reaction. That's why catalysts reduce the activation energy to accelerate the reaction.
Answer: Ecell = -0.110volt
Explanation:
Zn--->Zn^+2 + 2e^-.........(1) oxidation
Cu^2+ 2e^- --->Cu........(2)reduction
Zn + Cu^2+ ----> Cu + Zn^+2 (overall
For an electrochemical cell, the reduction potential set up is given by
E(cell) = E(cathode) - E(anode)
E(cell) = E(oxidation) - E(reduction)
E(cathode) = E(oxidation)
E(anode) = E(reduction)
Given that
E(oxidation) = -0.763v
E(reduction) = +0.337v
E(cell) = -0.763 - (+0.337)
E(cell) = -0.763- 0.337
E(cell) = -0.110volt
