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

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.

Commercial grade fuming nitric acid contains about 90.0% HNO3 by mass with a density of 1.50 g/mL, calculate the molarity of the
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

Since molarity is defined as moles of solute per liter of solution, we need to find the number of moles of nitric acid, and the volume of solution.

molar mass of nitric acid (HNO3) = 1 + 14 + (3x16) = 15 + 48 = 63 g/mole

1.50 g/ml x 1000 ml = 1500 g/liter

1500 g/liter x 0.90 = 1350 g/liter of pure HNO3 (the 0.9 is to correct for the fact that it is 90% pure)

1350 g/liter x 1 mole/63 g = 21.43 moles/liter = 21 Molar HNO3

= 21 Molar of HNO3

If water was used to rinse the burette used to dispense the hydrochloric acid solution, how would this affect
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

The concentration of hydrochloric acid would be estimated to be less.

Explanation:

This is because, the hydroxyl ions from water react with the hydrogen ions from the hydrochloric acid, hence decreasing the moles of hydrogen ions which lowers the acidic strength of Hydrochloric acid.

A sample of lemon juice is found to have a pH of 2.3. What is the concentration of hydrogen ions in the lemon juice?
Elenna [48]

Answer: It's equal to 10^(-2.3), or 0.00501 M, or 5.01 * 10^-3 moles/Liter

Explanation:

Well, pH = - log[H+]

Or, in words, pH is equal to -1 multiplied by the logarithm (base 10) of the hydrogen ion concentration.   So you have 2.3 = -log[H+].    We want to isolate the H+, so let's start simplifying the right hand side of the equation. First, we multiply both sides by -1.   -2.3=log[H+]   Now, the definition of a logarithm says that if the log (base 10) of [H+] is -2.3, then 10 raised to the -2.3 power is [H+]   So on each side of the equation, we raise 10 to the power of that side of the equation.   10^(-2.3) = 10^(log[H+])   and because 10^log cancels out...   10^(-2.3) = [H+]   Now we've solved for [H+], the hydrogen ion concentration!
