What does it mean for a chemical to have a low potential energy?

1 answer:

4 0

Low potential energy means there are fewer chemical bonds so H2O has Less than C6H12O6 because their are less valence electrons making bonds with others. in an endothermic reaction heat goes into the product so the reactants would have less potential energy.

sp2606 [1]

They seem to eat a lot ranging from woody plants to vines, though in the rainforest most of their diet is made up of Malaysia and plant material, to be more specific

So I would go with leaves, 50%

Flowers, buds, and insects, 10%

Fruits, 40%

--They also really like figs

Use the Gizmo to estimate the age of each of the objects below. For these questions, each second in the Gizmo represents 1,000 y

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

AT = A0 e(-T/H)

... where A0 is the starting activity, AT is the activity at some time T, and H is the half-life, in units of T.

Substituting what we know, we get...

0.71 = (1) e(-T/5730)

Solve for T...

loge(0.71) = -T/5730

T = -loge(0.71)(5730)

T = 1962 (conservatively rounded, T = 2000)

similarly for all

0.28 = (1) e(-T/5730)

Solve for T...

loge(0.28) = -T/5730

T = -loge(0.28)(5730)

T = 7294 (conservatively rounded, T = 7000)

0.89 = (1) e(-T/5730)

Solve for T...

loge(0.89) = -T/5730

T = -loge(0.89)(5730)

T = 667 (conservatively rounded, T = 700)

for neanderthal

0.05 = (1) e(-T/5730)

Solve for T...

loge(0.05) = -T/5730

T = -loge(0.05)(5730)

T = 17165 (conservatively rounded, T = 17000)

pogonyaev

Answer:

12.5mm

Explanation:

1cm = 10mm

so you need to multiply the 1.25 by 10 to get it in mm.

Calculate the pKa of lactic acid (CH3CH(OH)COOH) given the following information. 3.005 grams of potassium lactate are added to

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

$\displaystyle \text{p} K_a \approx 3.856$

Explanation:

Because 3.005 grams of potassium lactate is added to 100. mL of solution, its concentration is:

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} \left[ \text{KC$_3$H_$_5$O$_3$}\right] & = \frac{3.005\text{ g KC$_3$H_$_5$O$_3$}}{100.\text{ mL}} \cdot \frac{1\text{ mol KC$_3$H_$_5$O$_3$}}{128.17 \text{ g KC$_3$H_$_5$O$_3$}} \cdot \frac{1000\text{ mL}}{1\text{ L}} \\ \\ &= 0.234\text{ M}\end{aligned}$

By solubility rules, potassium is completely soluble, so the compound will dissociate completely into potassium and lactate ions. Therefore, [KC₃H₅O₃] = [C₃H₅O₃⁺]. Note that lactate is the conjugate base of lactic acid.

Recall the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned}\text{pH} = \text{p}K_a + \log \frac{\left[\text{Base}\right]}{\left[\text{Acid}\right]} \end{aligned}$

[Base] = 0.234 M and [Acid] = 0.500 M. We are given that the resulting pH is 3.526. Substitute and solve for pKₐ:

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} (3.526) & = \text{p}K_a + \log \frac{(0.234)}{(0.500)} \\ \\ 3.526 & = \text{p}K_a + (-0.330) \\ \\ \text{p}K_a & = 3.856\end{aligned}$

In conclusion, the pKₐ value of lactic acid is about 3.856.
