Why does every chemical reaction require a certain amount of activation energy?

Chemistry
1 answer:
USPshnik [31]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy required for a chemical reaction to take place.

When a chemical reaction occurs then bonds between the reactants break and bonds between the products are formed. This leads to the formation of an activated complex which is also known as transition state.

So, in order to form the activated complex a minimum amount of energy is necessary and this energy is known as activation energy.

Hydrogen gas, iodine vapor, hydrogen iodine are mixed in a flask and heated to 696°C. H2(g) + I2(g) ⇋ 2 HI(g) Kc = 52 at 696°C I
Anettt [7]

Answer: The equilibrium concentration of hydrogen gas is 0.0269 M

Explanation:

The chemical reaction follows the equation:

                  H_2(g)+I_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2HI(g)

At t = 0          0.044M     0.044M              0.177M  

At t=t_{eq}    (0.044-x)M    (0.044-x)M      (0.177+x)M

The expression for K_c for the given reaction follows:

K_c=\frac{[HI]^2}{[H_2]\times [I_2]}

We are given:

K_c=52

Putting values in above equation, we get:

52=\frac{(0.177+x)^2}{(0.044-x)^2}

x=0.0171M

Hence, the equilibrium concentration of hydrogen gas is (0.044-x) M =(0.044-0.0171) M= 0.0269 M
