How does activation energy affect a chemical reaction ?

Chemistry

Leno4ka [110]3 years ago

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy required to start or initiate a chemical reaction.

More is the activation energy more difficult is it for the reactants to participate in reaction.

Whereas a catalyst helps in increasing the rate of a reaction by increasing the energy of reactant molecules so that they can cross the activation energy barrier and therefore, formation of products become faster.

Thus, we can conclude that activation energy affect a chemical reaction as it determines how difficult it is to start the reaction.

Enzymes affect the rate of the reaction in both the forward and reverse directions; the reaction proceeds faster because less energy is required for molecules to react when they collide. Thus, the rate constant (k) increases. Figure 3: Lowering the Activation Energy of a Reaction by a Catalyst.

hope this helps!

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

The cost of driving this car is 33.33 miles per dollar.

Explanation:

Distance covered in 1 kilo watt-hour = 4 miles/kWh

Utility company charges  = 12 cents/kWh

The cost of driving this car in miles per cents:

\frac{ 4 miles/kWh}{12 cents/kWh}=\frac{1 miles}{3 cents}

1 cents = 0.01$

The cost of driving this car in miles per dollars:

\frac{1}{3} miles/cent=\frac{1 miles}{3\times 0.01\$}=33.33 miles/\$

Which of the following statements is/are true? Select all that apply. a. The entropy of the starting materials for a reaction is
seraphim [82]

Answer:

The entropy of the products of a reaction is always greater than the entropy of the starting materials

Explanation:

The second Law of Thermodynamics says that entropy always increases

A + B ----> AB

A and B that were completely arranged in their structures had to be completely messy to form compound AB

When an isolated system reaches a maximum entropy configuration, it can no longer undergo changes: it has reached equilibrium.

Given that the approximate bond length of o–h in water is roughly 1 å, what is the approximate distance each proton "hops" betwe
Ksenya-84 [330]

The hydrogen bond is a comparatively weak interaction between a proton hop and an electronegative atom present in a molecule. The hydrogen bond plays a very important role for the determination of state of a compound like gaseous, liquid or solid. The strength of the hydrogen bond depends on the close distance between the participants i.e. the electronegative atom and proton hop. There remains strong hydrogen bond between the two water molecules which is expressed as O....H. The distance of the hydrogen bond is 1.8A° formed between each proton hops of two neighboring water molecules. The hydrogen bond interaction is shown in the figure.

How does the number of Carbon atoms per molecule affect the state at room temperature? Explain how this is similar or different
RSB [31]

Explanation:

There are three states of matter:

1) Solid: In this state, the particles lie closer to each other. there is a strong intermolecular force of attraction between the particles.

2) Liquid: In this state, the particles are at a certain distance to each other. There is an intermediate intermolecular force of attraction between the particles.

3) Gas: In this state, the particles are farther from each other. There is weaker  intermolecular force of attraction between the particles.

As the number of carbon atoms in a molecule increases, the number of particles increases and the particles will come closer to each other. Hence, the state of matter will shift towards the solid state.

Viscosity is defined as the tendency to resist the particles to flow. As, the number of carbon atoms increases, the Vander-Walls forces increases, the particles are closer to each other and Hence, the viscosity will increase.
