Activation energy is the energy required by reactants to undergo chemical reaction and given products

Every reactant has some internal energy (sum of all kind of energy like kinetic energy, potential energy, mechanical energy, chemical energy etc). It needs some extra energy to undergo chemical reaction which is activation energy

All kinds of reaction whether exothermic or endothermic needs activation energy

Threshold energy = internal energy + activation energy

Perform the following operation

Taking into account the scientific notation, the result of the sum is 10.84300×10³.

Scientific notation

First, remember that scientific notation is a quick way to represent a number using powers of base ten.

The numbers are written as a product:

a×10ⁿ

where:

a is a real number greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10, to which a decimal point is added after the first digit if it is a non-integer number.
n is an integer, which is called an exponent or an order of magnitude. Represents the number of times the comma is shifted. It is always an integer, positive if it is shifted to the left, negative if it is shifted to the right.

Sum in scientific notation

You want to add two numbers in scientific notation. It should be noted that when the numbers to be added do not have the same base 10 exponent, the base 10 power with the highest exponent must be found. In this case, the highest exponent is 3.

Then all the values are expressed as a function of the base 10 exponent with the highest exponent. In this case: 9.7300×10²= 0.97300×10³

Taking the quantities to the same exponent, all you have to do is add what was previously called the number "a". In this case:

0.97300×10³ + 9.8700×10³= (0.97300+ 9.8700)×10³= 10.84300×10³

Finally, the result of the sum is 10.84300×10³.

Assignment Explain why it is not advisable to wear black silky cloth in the sun

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

It is not water absorbant and also the colour black, due to it's dark nature makes the person wearing the cloth feel hot. Unlike cotton, silk is not at all water absorbant as it does not absord any sweat produced in the wearers body

A wave of infrared light has a speed of 6 m/s and a wavelength of 12 m. What is the frequency of this wave?

andreev551 [17]

Answer: The frequency of the wave is 0.5 hertz.

Explanation:

$\nu =\frac{c}{\lambda }$

$\nu$ = Frequency of the wave

$c$ = speed of the light in m/s

$\lambda$ = Wavelength of the wave.

Here in question we are given with speed of the infrared light. So, we will replace the value of speed of light(c) from the given value of the speed of the infrared light.

Speed of infrared light = 6 m/s

$\nu =\frac{\text{speed of infrared light}}{\lambda }=\frac{6 m/s}{12 m}=0.5 hertz$
