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>

Answer:
a) [H₃O⁺] = 1.8x10⁻⁵ M
b) pH = 4.75
c) % rxn = 3.5x10⁻³ %
Explanation:
a) The dissociation reaction of HCN is:
HCN(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ H₃O⁺(aq) + CN⁻(aq)
0.5 M - x x x
The dissociation constant from the above reactions is given by:
By solving the above quadratic equation we have:
x = 1.75x10⁻⁵ M = 1.8x10⁻⁵ M = [H₃O⁺] = [CN⁻]
Hence, the [H₃O⁺] is 1.8x10⁻⁵ M.
b) The pH is equal to:
Then, the pH of the HCN solution is 4.75.
c) The % reaction is the % ionization:
Therefore, the % reaction or % ionization is 3.5x10⁻³ %.
