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

Which of the following correctly describes a reaction that forms a disaccharide from two monosaccharides?
Dafna11 [192]
The answer that correctly describes a reaction that forms a disaccharide from two monosaccharides is Galactose + glucose = lactose. 
Cellulose is not a disaccharide, glycogen is not a monosaccharide, and sucrose isn't either.

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST
Alex777 [14]

For the first one, you have to find one that has both a metal and a nonmetal in it, plus potassium. Bonds between nonmetals are called covalent because they share electrons and a bond between a metal and a nonmetal is an ionic bond because they exchange electrons.

Potassium chloride is KCl. Only an ionic bond.

Potassium hydride is KH. Only an ionic bond.

Potassium nitrate is KNO3. There we go, that has a covalent bond between the nitrogen and oxygen, and an ionic bond between potassium and the nitrogen and oxygen.

For the second one, potassium chloride is the answer because the other three also have covalent bonds. Chloride is the only one that isn't a compound.

A burning splint will burn more vigorously in pure oxygen than in air because ________. a burning splint will burn more vigorous
GrogVix [38]
A burning splint will burn more vigorously in pure oxygen than in air because <span>oxygen is a reactant in combustion and concentration of oxygen is higher in pure oxygen than is in air.
Oxygen concentration in air is approximately 20%, the rest of are nitrogen, carbon dioxide and other gases. Oxygen is oxidazing reactant, that means oxygen give electrons in chemical reactions.
