The rate of a chemical reaction is related to:_______
aalyn [17]

The correct answer for this question is activation energy, orientation, and frequency.

The rate of a chemical reaction is directly related to its activation energy because the higher the activation energy the lower is the rate of reaction as we know the reaction only proceed when the reactants have absorbed the enough heat energy to reach the transition state. Thus activation energy determines the rate of reaction.

The orientation of the particles is also very important as we know that the reaction between the two reactants only occur when they collide with proper orientation in time the greater the probability of the collision the greater is the rate of reaction and also the number of collisions also determines the rate of reaction.

The frequency is directly proportional to the rate of chemical reaction as the frequency of the collision increases the rate of the chemical reaction also increases.

Metals have a low electron affinity- a less likely chance to gain electrons because they want to give up their valence electrons rather than gain electrons, which require more energy than necessary.

A compound with a molar mass of 60g/mol is 40.4% carbon, 6.7% hydrogen and 53.3% oxygen (by mass). determine the emperical and m
Fittoniya [83]

<span>A compound is found to be 40.0% carbon, 6.7% hydrogen and 53.5% oxygen. Its molecular mass is 60. g/mol. 
</span>Q1)
Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components making up a compound.
the percentages have been given, therefore we can calculate for 100 g of the compound.

                                C                            H                        O
Mass in 100 g      40.0 g                       6.7 g                   53.5 g
Molar mass            12 g/mol                1 g/mol                 16 g/mol
Number of moles   40.0/12= 3.33         6.7/1 = 6.7          53.5/16 = 3.34
Divide by the least number of moles  
                             3.33/3.33 = 1           6.7/3.33 = 2.01   3.34/3.33 = 1.00
after rounding off
C - 1 
H - 2
O - 1

Empirical formula - CH₂O

Q2)
Molecular formula is the actual number of components making up the compound.
To find the number of empirical units we have to find the mass of one empirical unit.
Mass of one empirical unit = CH₂O - 12 + (1x2) + 16 = 30 g
Mass of one mole of compound = 60 g
Number of empirical units = 60 g / 30 g = 2
Therefore molecular formula - 2(CH₂O) 
 Molecular formula - C₂H₄O₂
