How does activation energy affect chemical reactions?

Chemistry
2 answers:
Assoli18 [71]3 years ago
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.

Calculate the molar solubility of CaF2 in a 0.25 m solution of NaF(aq).
Kipish [7]

Answer:

6.4 × 10^-10 M

Explanation:

The molar solubility of the ions in a compound can be calculated from the Ksp (solubility constant).

CaF2 will dissociate as follows:

CaF2 ⇌Ca2+ + 2F-

1 mole of Calcium ion (x)

2 moles of fluorine ion (2x)

NaF will also dissociate as follows:

NaF ⇌ Na+ + F-

Where Na+ = 0.25M

F- = 0.25M

The total concentration of fluoride ion in the solution is (2x + 0.25M), however, due to common ion effect i.e. 2x<0.25, 2x can be neglected. This means that concentration of fluoride ion will be 0.25M

Ksp = {Ca2+}{F-}^2

Ksp = {x}{0.25}^2

4.0 × 10^-11 = 0.25^2 × x

4.0 × 10^-11 = 0.0625x

x = 4.0 × 10^-11 ÷ 6.25 × 10^-2

x = 4/6.25 × 10^ (-11+2)

x = 0.64 × 10^-9

x = 6.4 × 10^-10

Therefore, the molar solubility of CaF2 in NaF solution is 6.4 × 10^-10M

What is the oxidizing agent in the reaction 2MnO4-(aq) 10I-(aq) 16H (aq) ---&gt; 2Mn2 (aq) 5I2(aq) 8H2O(l)
faltersainse [42]

Correct Question: what is the oxidizing agent in the reaction.

2MnO4–(aq) +10Cl–(aq) + 16H+(aq) --------> 5Cl2(g) + 2Mn2+(aq) +8H2O(l)

Answer: MnO4-is the oxidizing agent

Explanation:

In the reaction 2MnO4–(aq) +10Cl–(aq) + 16H+(aq) --------> 5Cl2(g) + 2Mn2+(aq) +8H2O(l)

Oxidizing agent oxidizes other molecules while the themselves get reduced.

oxidizing agents give away Oxygen to other compounds.

MnO4-is the oxidizing agent because

On the reactants side

Oxidation number of Mn in 2MnO4- is +7

Oxidation number of Cl- is -1

On the products side

Oxidation number of Mn is +2

While oxidation number of Cl is zero

Therefore the oxidizing agent is 2MnO4 because is oxidizes Chlorine from -1 to 0 while itself got reduced from oxidation state of +7 to +2

"survival of the fittest" best means that an organism is​
Nat2105 [25]

The answer is: Survival of the form that will leave the most copies of itself in successive generations.

"Survival of the fittest" is a phrase that originated from Darwinian evolutionary theory.

This is example of natural selection and adaptation.

Genetic variation is important to the population's ability to survive in different situations that affect natural selection.  

The environment is constantly changing and different alleles are favored.
