What are rotation and revolution and how do they affect Earth?
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

Rotation refers to an object's spinning motion about its own axis. "Revolution" refers the object's orbital motion around another object. For example, Earth rotates on its own axis, producing the 24-hour day. Earth revolves about the Sun, producing the 365-day year.

Dinitrogen tetraoxide, N2O4, decomposes to nitrogen dioxide, NO2, in a first-order process. If k = 1.5 x 103 s-1 at 5 ºC and k =
Arada [10]

Answer:

The activation energy for the decomposition = 33813.28 J/mol

Explanation:

Using the expression,

\ln \dfrac{k_{1}}{k_{2}} =-\dfrac{E_{a}}{R} \left (\dfrac{1}{T_1}-\dfrac{1}{T_2} \right )

Wherem  

k_1\ is\ the\ rate\ constant\ at\ T_1

k_2\ is\ the\ rate\ constant\ at\ T_2

E_a is the activation energy

R is Gas constant having value = 8.314 J / K mol  

Thus, given that, E_a = ?

k_2=4.0\times 10^3s^{-1}

k_1=1.5\times 10^3s^{-1}  

T_1=5\ ^0C  

T_2=25\ ^0C  

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15  

So,  

T = (5 + 273.15) K = 278.15 K  

T = (25 + 273.15) K = 298.15 K  

T_1=278.15\ K

T_2=298.15\ K

So,

\ln \frac{1.5\times 10^3}{4.0\times 10^3}\:=-\frac{E_{a}}{8.314}\times \left(\frac{1}{278.15}-\frac{1}{298.15}\right)

E_a=-\ln \frac{1.5\times \:10^3}{4.0\times \:10^3}\:\times \frac{8.314}{\left(\frac{1}{278.15}-\frac{1}{298.15}\right)}

E_a=-\frac{8.314\ln \left(\frac{1.5\times \:10^3}{4\times \:10^3}\right)}{\frac{1}{278.15}-\frac{1}{298.15}}

E_a=-\frac{689483.53266 \ln \left(\frac{1.5}{4}\right)}{20}

E_a=33813.28\ J/mol

<u>The activation energy for the decomposition = 33813.28 J/mol</u>

group of atoms that gains or loses electrons is called _______. A. a polar ion B. a non-polar ion C. a polyatomic ion D. a commo
raketka [301]

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An ion is defined as a specie which is formed when a neutral atoms tends to gain or lose an electron.

When a neutral atom gain an electron then it forms a negative ion whereas when a neutral atom tends to lose an electron then it forms a positive ion.

For example, a neutral fluorine atom on gaining an electron will form F^{-} ion. And, a sodium atom on losing an electron forms Na^{+} ion.

When a group of atoms form ions then it tends to form polyatomic ions.

Thus, we can conclude that group of atoms that gains or loses electrons is called a polyatomic ion.

What did Ernest Rutherford’s gold foil experiment demonstrate about atoms ?
Alchen [17]

Answer:

Their positive charge is located in the small nucleus

Explanation:

Ernest Rutherford performed the gold foil experiment in 1911 where he used alpha particles generated from a radioactive source to bombard a thin gold foil.

In his experiment, he observed that the bulk of the alpha particles passed through the gold foil, just a tiny fraction was deflected back. To explain his findings, Rutherford proposed that an atom is made of positively charged centre where nearly all the mass is concentrated called nucleus. Surrounding the nucleus is a large space containing electrons.

What’s the pattern of a Gas and Plasma?!!
Nataly [62]

Answer:

Gas turns into plasma when heat or energy is added to it. The atoms that make up the gas start to lose their electrons and become positively charged ions. The lost electrons are then able to float freely. This process is called ionization..

Hope it help!
