Chemistry

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.

A certain gasol occupies a volume of 12.5 L at 50 degree Celsius and 740 torr. what would its volume be at STP? do the equation
Charra [1.4K]

n=PV/RT

convert:

740 torr to atm (1 atm=760 torr)

50 degree celsius to kelvin ( degree celsus +273= kelvin)

n=(0.9737 atm)(12.5L)÷(0.08206 L atm mol ⁻¹k⁻¹) (323 K)

n=0.4592 mols×22.4 L/1 mol.   (22.4 L STP= 1 mol)

=10.286 L at STP

it could be this

swat32

Answer: exothermic

EXPLANATION: any process in which heat energy is released is called an exothermic process. For example burning of wood produces heat, so combustion of wood is an exothermic process.

When chemicals were not mixed they were at room temperature and when we mix them exothermic reaction took place and heat was released which raised the temperature of mixture.
