Answer:
The significance of "Er" in the diagram is :
B.) Threshold energy for reaction
Explanation:
Threshold energy : It is total amount of energy required by the reactant molecule to reach the transition state .
Activation energy : It is the excess energy absorbed by the molecules to reach the transition state.
<u>Activation Energy = Threshold Energy - Average Kinetic Energy</u>
<u>This means Activation energy decreases on increasing kinetic energy</u>
On increasing Temperature average kinetic energy of the molecule increases which reduces the activation energy and the reaction occur faster in that case.
Catalyst also reduces the Activation energy.
<u>Er = Threshshold energy for reaction at 30 degree</u>
<u>Ea = Activation Energy</u>
<u>The given figure shows that the threshold energy decreases on increasing the temperature</u>
<u>Only the molecule having energy greater than Er can react to form product</u>
"The other halogens are not as electronegative and so other hydrogen halides cannot form hydrogen bonds between molecules. Only London Forces are formed. - Therefore more energy is required to break the intermolecular forces in HF than the other hydrogen halides and so it has a higher boiling point."

To determine which order of the reaction it is, first we need to calculate the rate of change of moles.
the data is as follows
time 0 40 80 120 160
moles 0.100 0.067 0.045 0.030 0.020
Q1)
for the first 40 s change of moles ;
= -d[A] / t
= - (0.067-0.100)/40s
= 8.25 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s
for the next 40 s
= -(0.045-0.067)/40
= 5.5 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s
the 40 s after that
= -(0.030-0.045)/40 s
= 3.75 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s
k - rate constant
and A is the only reactant that affects the rate of the reaction
rate = k [A]ᵇ
8.25 × 10⁻⁴ mol/s = k [0.100 mol]ᵇ ----1
5.5 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s = k [0.067 mol]ᵇ -----2
divide the 2nd equation by the 1st equation
1.5 = [1.49]ᵇ
b is almost equal to 1
Therefore this is a first order reaction
Q2)
to find out the rate constant(k), we have to first state the equation for a first order reaction.
rate = k[A]ᵇ
As A is the only reactant thats considered for the rate equation.
Since this is a first order reaction,
b = 1
therefore the reaction is
rate = k[A]
substituting the values,
8.25 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s = k [0.100 mol]
k = 8.25 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s /0.100mol
= 8.25 x 10⁻³ s⁻¹

Answer:
d- Scientists have to follow government rules made to protect people.
Explanation:
Scientific research fosters our understanding of the world around us. It helps people to learn to promote critical thought and problem-solving. Although there may not be an immediate practical use of the research, in the long term the study could benefit humanity. Scientific research is the product of creative ideas and collaborative communication that the proper role of government is often restricted to funding the research. The role of the government is to perform its reasonable and valid duties of defending human rights and enhancing the independence of the human.
