How does activation energy affect chemical reactions?

2 answers:

8 0

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.

Answer:

A lower activation energy means more rate of reaction.

Explanation:

The activation energy is the extra minimum amount of energy required by reactant molecules to undergo a chemical reaction.

All reactant molecules have an inherent internal energy. They need to cross an energy barrier known as activation energy, to undergo conversion to product. The energy is required for effective collision between reactant molecules.

Which of these statements best compares the pair of line segments with the vertex?

liraira [26]

The line segment is describe as a line which joints two points. The word segment is denotes the end points of the line. The symbol of the line segment is AB. This symbol is indicating a line from the point A to the point B.

Generally, the line segment has two endpoints. The meeting point of two line segments is called as the vertex and also it is considered as a common endpoint on the other hand line is a straight path of points that goes on and on in two directions
Vertex is a point where two rays meet OR where the sides of a polygon meet OR the point where three or more edges of a solid figure meet and the angle is Formed by two rays that have the same endpoint

What information does the third quantum number of an electron give? A. The direction the electron in spinning B. The energy leve

Juli2301 [7.4K]

The information that the third quantum number of an electron gives is the direction the electron in spinning. That is option A.

<h3>What are quantum numbers?</h3>

Quantum number are those numbers that are used to specify the properties of the atomic orbitals and the electrons in those orbitals.

The types of quantum numbers include the following:

principal,

azimuthal,

magnetic, and spin.

The third quantum number is shows the direction of the electron while spinning through specifying its angular momentum.

Modern oil tankers weigh over a half-million tons and have lengths of up to one-fourth miles. Such massive ships require a dista

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed= (0 - 26 km/hr) = -26 km/hr

(-26 km/hr) x (1,000 m/km) x (1 hr / 3,600 sec) = -7.222 m/sec

Average acceleration = (-7.222 m/s) / (22 min x 60sec/min) = -0.00547 m/sec²

Average speed during the stopping maneuver =

(1/2) (start speed + end speed) = 13 km/hr = 3.6111 m/sec

Which of the following best explains why you sanded the copper wire before burning it? to create less friction between the coppe

artcher [175]

The copper wire was sanded before burning in order to make sure that copper metal was exposed on the surface of the wire.

Answer: B

Explanation

The copper wire when placed in atmosphere without coating leads to oxidation of copper metal with respect to the impurities present in the atmosphere.

As copper is electropositive in nature, so electronegative ions present in the universe will try to react with copper and the copper will react easily with other elements.

So generally copper wire is coated with color or polymer coating.

In this case, the copper wire without any coating is sanded, so that the eddy sheets or polishing materials on friction with copper wire will remove the impurities by the electrostatic law of conservation of charges and charge transfer.

As the impurities are removed when copper wire is sanded, the copper atoms will be exposed on the surface of the wire leading to burning of copper in the copper wire.

How many grams of zinc would be required to produce 9.65g of zinc hydroxide

Effectus [21]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

How many grams of zinc would be required to produce 9.65g of zinc hydroxide

Zn+2MnO₂+H₂O→Zn(OH)₂+Mn₂O₃

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of zinc required is 6.35 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)
