Answer: d. has high activation energy

Activation energy is the energy that a system requires to start a certain process. Also, it <u>is the minimum energy necessary for a given chemical reaction to occur</u>. For a reaction to occur between two molecules, they must collide in the correct orientation and have a minimum amount of energy equal to the activation energy.

As the molecules approach, their electron clouds repel, so energy is required for the collision to occur and therefore the reaction. The activation energy comes from the heat of the system, that is, the translational, vibrational energy, etc. of each molecule. However, if this energy is not enough, the reaction will not be spontaneous.

<u>A reaction between two molecules can be favored by supplying energy to the system.</u> In the case raised in the question, <u>energy equal to 1104 kJ is provided to the system to favor the next reaction </u>

CO2 (g) + 2SO2 (g) → CS2 (g) + 3O2 (g)

<u>Since the energy equal to 1104 kJ is included in the reactants, it can be deduced that it is the energy that is provided to the system for the reaction to occur. </u>However, from the value of this energy it can not be said whether the system is endothermic or exothermic since it is a kinetic variable and the variables of this type do not allow predicting the thermodynamic behavior of a system.

Furthermore, it can be seen that the value of this energy is considerably high, therefore the reaction described has a high activation energy.

Answer:

1) They are the same line so they match equally bc they are measuring the same thing just one is more specific than the other

2) Sonar measures all depths at every possible point and maps it including all the gaps in between the 5cm apart the ocean floor is. The difference between the points could be a cliff or a smooth decline.

What happens to the composition of an atom to cause it to become positively or negatively charged?
cupoosta [38]
<span>The addition and subtraction of negatively charged electrons can easily change an atom’s charge, because they perpetually spin in valence shells outside the nucleus. It is easier for a neighboring atom to share or steal an electron rather than a positively charged proton, which is found in the nucleus. It requires a strong energy input to split a proton free from other protons and neutrons. thus, the atoms lose or gain electrons from neighboring ones and become what is known as "ions". Hope it helped!</span>
