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.

Why do different isotopes of an element generally have the same physical and chemical properties?
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is because they have same number of protons but different number of neutrons.

Explanation:

Isotopes are atoms of the same element but differ only in the number of neutrons in the nucleus, i.e. they have same atomic number but different mass number.

Mass number is affected as they have different number of neutrons, thus effecting their physical properties.

The number of electrons and protons are same, i.e. their atomic number is same and thus their chemical properties are same as chemical properties are determined by the atom’s electronic configuration and that relates to number of protons.

The bottom of a box has a surface area of 25.0 cm 2 . The mass of the box is 34.0 kilograms. Acceleration due to gravity at sea
Viktor [21]
Pressure given by: 
Pressure=(force)/(area)
Force=Mass*gravitational pull
Mass=34Kg
gravity=9.80

so,
force=34*9.8=333.2
thus;
pressure=333.2/25=13.328=13.3 N/cm^2

Hope this helped :)

A chemist measures the energy change ?H during the following reaction:
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Endothermic

It absorbs heat

1.20 × 10³ kJ

Explanation:

Let's consider the following thermochemical equation.

2 H₂O(l) → 2 H₂(g) + O₂(g)    ΔH = 572 kJ

Since ΔH > 0, the reaction is endothermic, that is, it absorbs heat when H₂O reacts.

572 kJ are absorbed when 36.03 g of water react. The heat absorbed when 75.8 g of H₂O react is:

75.8 g H₂O × (572 kJ/36.03 g H₂O) = 1.20 × 10³ kJ

Tisa makes a diagram to organize her notes about charging objects.
Amanda [17]
The answer is Electrons move between objects. The reason this is known is that the acts of friction and conduction (from the little picture he could not put in) involves contact to be known as friction and conduction. Without contact the electrons could not move between objects. I also got this question right on the test. That's how I know this is right. I hope this helps. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
