Answer:

The answer to this can be arrived at by clculating the mole fraction of atoms higher than the activation energy of 10.0 kJ by pluging in the values given into the Arrhenius equation. The answer to this is 20.22 moles of Argon have energy equal to or greater than 10.0 kJ

Explanation:

From Arrhenius equation showing the temperature dependence of reaction rates.

K = Ae^{\frac{Ea}{RT} } where

k = rate constant

A = Frequency or pre-exponential factor

Ea   =       energy of activation

R = The universal gas constant

T = Kelvin absolute temperature

we have

f = e^{\frac{Ea}{RT} }

Where

f = fraction of collision with energy higher than the activation energy

Ea = activation energy = 10.0kJ = 10000J

R = universal gas constant = 8.31 J/mol.K

T = Absolute temperature in Kelvin = 400K

In the Arrhenius equation k = Ae^(-Ea/RT), the factor A is the frequency factor and the component e^(-Ea/RT) is the portion of possible collisions with high enough energy for a reaction to occur at the a specified temperature  

Plugging in the values into the equation relating f to activation energy we get

f = e^{\frac{10000J}{(8.31J/((mol)(K)))(400K)} } or f = e^{3.01} = 20.22 moles of argon have an energy of 10.0 kJ or greater

Explain how carbon’s bonding ability makes it unique.
STatiana [176]

\huge\fcolorbox{red}{pink}{Answer ♥}

The carbon atom is unique among elements in its tendency to form extensive networks of covalent bonds not only with other elements but also with itself. ... Moreover, of all the elements in the second row, carbon has the maximum number of outer shell electrons (four) capable of forming covalent bonds.

Hope it helps uh ✌️✌️✌️

The process is taking place at constant temperature and pressure. then which of the following is true?
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer: ΔH=TΔS

Both ΔH and TΔS are temperature dependent, where ΔH = TΔS. Because ΔG = ΔH − TΔS, at this temperature ΔG = 0, indicating that the liquid and vapor phases are in equilibrium.
