Answer:

Mechanical waves travel through matter, causing it to vibrate, expand and contract, move up and down, side to side, or in circles. They include water waves, sound waves, and seismic waves. ... They all travel at the same speed — the speed of light — in a vacuum, but when they come into contact with matter, they slow down.

When an atom is in the ground state what must happen for the atom to be in an excited state? what must happen for this atom to r

scoray [572]

Hi there

In order for an electron to jump into a higher energy state, it must first absorb energy (heat, light, etc).

When an electron goes back down to the ground state from the excited state, it emits energy usually in the form of a photon.

i hope this helps

The rate constant for a certain reaction is measured at two different temperatures:

Talja [164]

Answer: The activation energy Ea for this reaction is 22689.8 J/mol

Explanation:

According to Arrhenius equation with change in temperature, the formula is as follows.

$ln \frac{k_{2}}{k_{1}} = \frac{-E_{a}}{R}[\frac{1}{T_{2}} - \frac{1}{T_{1}}]$

$k_1$ = rate constant at temperature $T_1$ = $2.3\times 10^8$

$k_2$ = rate constant at temperature $T_2$ = $4.8\times 10^8$

$E_a$ = activation energy = ?

R= gas constant = 8.314 J/kmol

$T_1$ = temperature = $280.0^0C=(273+280)=553K$

$T_2$ = temperature = $376.0^0C=(273+376)=649K$

Putting in the values ::

$ln \frac{4.8\times 10^8}{2.3\times 10^8} = \frac{-E_{a}}{8.314}[\frac{1}{649} - \frac{1}{553}]$

$E_a=22689.8J/mol$

The activation energy Ea for this reaction is 22689.8 J/mol

How many grams of O₂ are required to react completely with 14.6 g of Na to form sodium oxide, Na₂O?

Bad White [126]

The balanced chemical reaction is :

$O_2 + 4Na \ -> \ 2Na_2O$

Number of moles of Na, $n = \dfrac{14.6}{23} = 0.635 \ mol$ .

Now, from balance chemical reaction we can see that 1 mole of oxygen reacts with 4 moles of sodium.

So, number of moles of oxygen are :

$n = \dfrac{0.635}{4}\ mole$

So, amount of oxygen required is :

$m = \dfrac{0.635 \times 32}{4}\ gm\\\\m = 5.08 \ gm$

Therefore, 5.08 gram of oxygen will react with 14.6 gram of sodium.
