Answer:

C₃H₄O₂ → 50% C; 5.5 % H; 44.5% O

C₄H₆O₂ → 56 % of C; 7 % of H; 37% of O

C₃H₃N → 68 % of C; 6 % of H; 26 % of N

Explanation:

We determine the molar mass of each compound:

C₃H₄O₂ → 72 g/mol

In 1 mol of acrylic acid (72 g), we have:

3 moles of C → 12 g/mol . 3 mol = 36 g of C

4 moles of H → 1 g/mol . 4 mol = 4 g of H

2 moles of O → 16g/mol . 2 mol = 32 g of O

Then in 100 g of salt, we may have:

100 . 36 / 72 = 50 % of C

4 . 100 / 72 = 5.5 % of H

32 . 100 / 72 = 44.5 % of O

C₄H₆O₂ → 86 g/mol

In 1 mol of methyl acrylate (86 g), we have:

4 moles of C → 12 g/mol . 4 mol = 48 g of C

6 moles of H → 1 g/mol . 6 mol = 6 g of H

2 moles of O → 16g/mol . 2 mol = 32 g of O

Then in 100 g of salt, we may have:

100 . 48 / 86 = 56 % of C

6 . 100 / 86 = 7 % of H

32 . 100 / 86 = 37 % of O

C₃H₃N → 53 g/mol

In 1 mol of acrylonitrile (53 g), we have:

3 moles of C → 12 g/mol . 3 mol = 36 g of C

3 moles of H → 1 g/mol . 3 mol = 3 g of H

1 mol of N → 14g/mol . 1 mol = 14 g of N

Then in 100 g of salt, we may have:

100 . 36 / 53 = 68 % of C

3 . 100 / 53 = 6 % of H

14 . 100 / 53 = 26 % of N

Malik formed a hypotheses that an increase in atmospheric oxygen levels by 10% would cause red-legged grasshoppers to grow large
sergejj [24]
Answer : Malik's experiment included to create artificial atmospheric oxygen; in order to perform experiment on red-legged grasshopper for growing it larger than normal, the part of recreating or mimicking the artificial oxygen for the experiment with additional 10% increase seems to be bit difficult and this may create a problem in defining the accuracy and precision for the experiment.

What is the effect of a high activation energy on a chemical reaction?
RSB [31]

Answer:

option D= it makes the reaction harder to start.

Explanation:

Activation energy:

It is the minimum amount of energy required by chemical specie to start the chemical reaction.

Explanation:

The activation energy is inversely related to the rate of reaction. The higher the activation energy the slower will be the reaction rate.

Molecules are colloid with each other and gain kinetic energy if this energy is higher than the transition state energy then molecules easily undergo the chemical reaction. Because molecules easily overcome the barrier i.e transition state.

When the kinetic energy is lower than molecules can not pass the barrier. They require the input which is called activation energy to pass the barrier.

The higher the activation energy, the difficult for the reaction to proceed. Catalyst are used to lower the activation energies because in this way lower will be the transition state, and higher will be the reaction rate.
