Explain how the equation for GPE = force x distance.

1 answer:

4 0

GPE is the gravitational Potential Energy which is given by mgh.

mg is the gravitational force(a force) and h is the height of the object(or distance of the object from earth's surface)

SO GPE = mg (force) x h (distance)

The activation energy for the reaction NO2 (g )+ CO (g) ⟶ NO (g) + CO2 (g) is Ea = 218 kJ/mol and the change in enthalpy for the

madreJ [45]

Answer:

$470\frac{KJ}{mol}$

Explanation:

The activation energy represents the energy barrier that reagents must pass to transform into products (or products to transform into reagents in a reverse reaction)

For any reaction, the change in enthalpy is related to the activation energy by the equation

$\Delta H =E_{a\ direct}-E_{a\ reverse}$

So, the activation energy for the reverse reaction is

$E_{a\ reverse}=E_{a\ direct}-\Delta H =218 \frac{KJ}{mol} - (-252)\frac{KJ}{mol}=470\frac{KJ}{mol}$

When 1.14 g of octane (molar mass = 114 g/mol) reacts with excess oxygen in a constant volume calorimeter, the temperature of th

maxonik [38]

I can't answer this question without knowing what the specific heat capacity of the calorimeter is. Luckily, I found a similar problem from another website which is shown in the attached picture.

Q = nCpΔT
Q = (1.14 g)(1 mol/114 g)(6.97 kJ/kmol·°C)(10°C)(1000 mol/1 kmol)
<em>Q = +6970 kJ</em>

Which methods would be suitable for determining the concentration of an aqueous solution of KMnO4? I. Visible spectrophotometry

Elodia [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the solution have an observable color, that means that it absorbs light in the visible region hence it can be determined by colorimetry. Secondly, KMnO4 is a reducing agent which can be titrated against an oxidizing agent and it's concentration accurately determined.

What is the effect of adding heat to a gas at constant pressure?

Anna007 [38]

The pressure will continue to build up eventually causing a release of pressure or an explosion.
