prisoha [69]

Answer: d. has high activation energy

Activation energy is the energy that a system requires to start a certain process. Also, it is the minimum energy necessary for a given chemical reaction to occur. For a reaction to occur between two molecules, they must collide in the correct orientation and have a minimum amount of energy equal to the activation energy.

As the molecules approach, their electron clouds repel, so energy is required for the collision to occur and therefore the reaction. The activation energy comes from the heat of the system, that is, the translational, vibrational energy, etc. of each molecule. However, if this energy is not enough, the reaction will not be spontaneous.

A reaction between two molecules can be favored by supplying energy to the system. In the case raised in the question, energy equal to 1104 kJ is provided to the system to favor the next reaction

CO2 (g) + 2SO2 (g) → CS2 (g) + 3O2 (g)

Since the energy equal to 1104 kJ is included in the reactants, it can be deduced that it is the energy that is provided to the system for the reaction to occur. However, from the value of this energy it can not be said whether the system is endothermic or exothermic since it is a kinetic variable and the variables of this type do not allow predicting the thermodynamic behavior of a system.

Furthermore, it can be seen that the value of this energy is considerably high, therefore the reaction described has a high activation energy.

Here is a more complex redox reaction involving the dichromate ion in acidic solution: 3N O 2 − + 8H + + C r 2 O 7 2− → 3N O 3 −

Fantom [35]

Answer:

NO2- is the reducing agent.

Cr2O7_2- is the oxidizing agent.

H+ is neither

Explanation:

Reduction is the gain in electron. A chemical specie that undergoes reduction is called the oxidizing agent.

Oxidation is simply the loss in electrons. A chemical specie that undergoes oxidation is called the reducing agent.

Let us look at the species.

The first specie is the NO2-. In this specie, the oxidation number of nitrogen changed from +3 to +5 in NO3-. Thus we can see that there is more loss of electron to have caused an increase in the oxidation number positively. This shows an oxidation. Hence, NO2- is the reducing agent.

Let us look at the chromium. We can see that the oxidation number of chromium changed from +7 to +3.

Now we can see that it is a decrease and hence, it is a gain of electron and thus it is reduction. This means the first chromium specie is the oxidizing agent.

The hydrogen ion is simply placed there to balance the ions and hence it is neither the oxidizing nor the reducing agent.

The atomic number of lead (Pb) is 82. Its mass number is 207. How many protons, neutrons, and electrons does this neutral atom o

AveGali [126]

An element’s atomic number is equal to the number of protons in that element’s nucleus. The mass number is the total number of an atom’s protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge; electrons have a negative charge; and neutrons are electrically neutral.

Putting it all together, given that the atomic number of lead is 82, the number of protons a lead atom contains is 82. The number of neutrons would be the difference between 207 and 82, or 125 neutrons. Finally, since you have a neutral atom, there must be an equal number of electrons as the number of protons—that is, 82 electrons.

Thus, you’ve got 82 protons, 125 neutrons, and 82 electrons.

Elemental sulfur is one of the products of the gas-phase reaction of nitric acid and hydrogen sulfide. The other

Goshia [24]

Answer:

The manufacturing processes for liquefied petroleum gas are designed so that the majority, if not all, of the sulfur compounds are removed. The total sulfur level is therefore considerably lower than for other crude oil-based fuels and a maximum limit for sulfur content helps to define the product more completely. The sulfur compounds that are mainly responsible for corrosion are hydrogen sulfide, carbonyl sulfide and, sometimes, elemental sulfur. Hydrogen sulfide and mercaptans have distinctive unpleasant odors. A control of the total sulfur content, hydrogen sulfide and mercaptans ensures that the product is not corrosive or nauseating. Stipulating a satisfactory copper strip test further ensures the control of the corrosion.
