The activation energy is the minimum amount of energy that particles must have in order for them to participate in a chemical reaction. During chemical reactions bonds are broken and formed. Particles must collide with sufficient energy in order for the initial bonds to be broken. The activation energy is that that initial minimum energy that the particles can have in order for the bonds to be broken. Stronger bonds would require more energy to be broken and therefore the activation energy for such would be higher.
Answer:
T₂ = 150 K
Explanation:
Given data:
Initial volume of gas = 804 mL
Initial temperature = 27°C (27+273=300 K)
Final temperature = ?
Final volume = 402 mL
Solution:
The given problem will be solve through the Charles Law.
According to this law, The volume of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant number of moles and pressure.
Mathematical expression:
V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂
V₁ = Initial volume
T₁ = Initial temperature
V₂ = Final volume
T₂ = Final temperature
Now we will put the values in formula.
V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂
T₂ = V₂T₁/V₁
T₂ = 402 mL × 300 K / 804 mL
T₂ = 120,600 mL.K / 804 mL
T₂ = 150 K
Yes.
A covalent bond holds it together, which is chemical.
