What is the effect of high activation energy on a chemical reaction?

Chemistry
1 answer:
alex41 [277]3 years ago
4 0
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

It makes the reaction harder to start

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • <em><u>Activation energy is minimum amount of energy that is required for a reaction to start. Activation energy determines the rate of a chemical reaction such that the higher the activation energy, the lower the rate of chemical reaction and vice versa.</u></em>
  • The source of activation energy needed to push chemical reactions forward is obtained from the surroundings. Catalyst speed up chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy. Therefore, catalysis is the increase in the rate of a chemical reaction by lowering its activation energy.

Identify the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent in the following reactions: (i) 8NH3( g) + 6NO2( g) =&gt; 7N2( g) + 12H2O( l
shusha [124]

Answer:

(i)  Oxidizing Agent: NO2 / Reducing Agent NH3-

(ii) Oxidizing Agent AgNO3 / Reducing Agent Zn

Explanation:

(i) 8NH3( g) + 6NO2( g) => 7N2( g) + 12H2O( l)

In this reaction, both two reactants contain nitrogen with a different oxidation number and produce only one product which contains nitrogen with a unique oxidation state. So, nitrogen is oxidized and reduced in the same reaction.

Nitrogen Undergoes a change in oxidation state from 4+ in NO2 to 0 in N2. It is reduced because it gains electrons (decrease its oxidation state). NO2 is the oxidizing agent (electron acceptor).

Nitrogen Changes from an oxidation state of 3- in NH3 to 0 in N2. It is oxidized because it loses electrons (increase its oxidation state). NH3 is the reducing agent (electron donor)

(ii) Zn(s) +AgNO3(aq) => Zn(NO3)2(aq) + Ag(s)

Ag changes oxidation state from 1+ to 0 in Ag(s).

Ag is reduced because it gains electrons and for this reason and AgNO3 is the oxidizing agent (electron acceptor)

Zn Changes from an oxidation state of 0 in Zn(s) to 2+ in Zn(NO3)2. It is oxidized and for this reason Zn is the reducing agent (electron donor).

Balanced equation:

Zn(s) +2AgNO3(aq) => Zn(NO3)2(aq) + 2Ag(s)

How do ethical concerns affect scientific research
Gwar [14]

Answer:

Ethical concerns affect scientific research by adding boundaries to what can and cant be experimented on. An example is that its socially unacceptable to experiment on humans because its considered wrong and horrific, even at the expense of learning more about human nature and/or the human body.

An atom X has 2 electrons in its outer orbit. What will it do to form a stable ion?
matrenka [14]

Answer:

In a neutral molecule, the sum of the bonding valance electrons must be equal. So the products of the negative element and its charges and the positive element and its charge must be equal.

Explanation:

C1×N1 = C2×N2

If we have a 3 valance electrons , the 'A' charge will be either +3 or -5 for a full octet and valance electron in 'B' atoms will mostly result in acquisition of additional electrons (2) for an octet and relative charge of -2.

Balancing the two,

3 × A = -2 × B

To be equal, A = 2 and B = 3

Therefore, A²B³
