Answer:
Explanation:
The activation energy represents the energy barrier that reagents must pass to transform into products (or products to transform into reagents in a reverse reaction)
For any reaction, the change in enthalpy is related to the activation energy by the equation
So, the activation energy for the reverse reaction is
Answer:
Fluorine
Explanation:
Fluorine is assigned the oxidation number of -1 because it attracts the electrons in the bond more strongly than carbon does. Fluorine appears to have an extra electron, -1 oxidation number.
Fluorine is the most electronegative element on the periodic table.
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
Cations are much smaller than their corresponding parent
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- Parent atom has more electrons and thus the effective nuclear charge on each electron is less.
- When a cation is formed electron(s) is/are lost. Thus the effective nuclear charge or simply put, the attraction of the nucleus towards the electrons increases. Therefore, due to greater pull, the nucleus pulls the shells towards it, there by reducing the size, which makes cations smaller than their corresponding parent.
Answer : 0.8663 Kg of chalcopyrite must be mined to obtained 300 g of pure Cu.
Solution : Given,
Mass of Cu = 300 g
Molar mass of Cu = 63.546 g/mole
Molar mass of 
= 183.511 g/mole
- First we have to calculate the moles of Cu.
The moles of Cu = 4.7209 moles
From the given chemical formula, we conclude that the each mole of compound contain one mole of Cu.
So, The moles of Cu = Moles of = 4.4209 moles
- Now we have to calculate the mass of .
Mass of = Moles of × Molar mass of = 4.4209 moles × 183.511 g/mole = 866.337 g
Mass of = 866.337 g = 0.8663 Kg (1 Kg = 1000 g)
Therefore, 0.8663 Kg of chalcopyrite must be mined to obtained 300 g of pure Cu.
