Answer:

E = 17 kJ

Explanation:

The enthalpy of the reaction is:

\Delta H = E_{p} - E_{r}  

<u>Where</u>:

Ep: is the energy of the products

Er: is the energy of the reactants

Similarly, the enthalpy of the reaction is related to the activation energy forward (E_{F}) and to the activation energy reverse (E_{R}) as follows:

\Delta H = E_{F} - E_{R}  

Having that ΔH = 44 kJ and E_{F} = 61 kJ, the activation energy of the reverse reaction is:

E_{R} = E_{F} - \Delta H = 61 kJ - 44 kJ = 17 kJ  

Therefore, the activation energy of the reverse reaction is 17 kJ.

I hope it helps you!

Suppose an aluminum- nuclide transforms into a phosphorus- nuclide by absorbing an alpha particle and emitting a neutron. Comple
AfilCa [17]

Explanation:

An alpha particles is basically a helium nucleus and it contains 2 protons and 2 neutrons.  

Symbol of an alpha particle is ^{4}_{2}\alpha. Whereas a neutron is represented by a symbol ^{1}_{0}n, that is, it has zero protons and only 1 neutron.

Therefore, reaction equation when an aluminum- nuclide transforms into a phosphorus- nuclide by absorbing an alpha particle and emitting a neutron is as follows.

        ^{27}_{13}Al + ^{1}_{0}n \rightarrow ^{30}_{15}P + ^{1}_{0}n

A sample of a gas at 25°C has a volume of 150 mL when its pressure is 0.947 atm. What will the temperature of the gas be at a pr
sertanlavr [38]

Answer: The temperature of the gas at a pressure of  0.987 atm and volume of 144mL is 25.16^0C

Explanation:

The combined gas equation is,

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas = 0.947 atm

P_2 = final pressure of gas = 0.987 atm

V_1 = initial volume of gas = 150 ml

V_2 = final volume of gas = 144 ml    

T_1 = initial temperature of gas = 25^0C=(25+273.15)K=298.15K

T_2 = final temperature of gas = ?

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

\frac{0.947\times 150}{298.15}=\frac{0.987\times 144}{T_2}

T_2=298.31K=(298.31-273.15)^0C=25.16^0C

The temperature of the gas at a pressure of  0.987 atm and volume of 144mL is 25.16^0C
