<u>Answer:</u> The activation energy of the reverse reaction is 47 kJ/mol
<u>Explanation:</u>
The chemical equation for the decomposition of dinitrogen pentaoxide follows:
We are given:
Activation energy of the above reaction (forward reaction) = 102 kJ/mol
Enthalpy of the reaction = +55 kJ/mol
As, the enthalpy of the reaction is positive, the reaction is said to be endothermic in nature.
To calculate the activation energy for the reverse reaction, we use the equation:
where,
= Activation energy of the forward reaction = 102 kJ/mol
= Activation energy of the backward reaction = ?
= Enthalpy of the reaction = +55 kJ/mol
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the activation energy of the reverse reaction is 47 kJ/mol
1) use the formula PV=nRT
2) Plug in given values: P(8.77 L)= (1.45 mol)(0.0821)(293 K)
3) isolate P: P= (1.45x.0821x293)/(8.77)
4) solve: P=3.98 atm
Answer:
C
Explanation:
The detailed solution is found in the image attached. It is necessary to note that the oxidation half equation is multiplied by three to balance electron gain and loss. This is adequately shown in the image below. Inferences are only drawn from balanced redox reaction equation hence the first step is to balance the redox reaction equation.
