Activation energy is defined as the least amount of energy that is needed to be available in a chemical system with potential reactants in order to result a chemical reaction. Therefore, the correct answer would be the first option: the heat released in a reaction.
(a) Iron (iii) sulphate:
From the periodic table:
mass of iron = 55.845 grams
mass of sulphur = 32.065 grams
mass of oxygen = 16 grams
Iron (iii) sulphate has the formula: Fe2(SO4)3
molar mass = 2(55.845) + 3(32.065) + 3(4)(16) = 399.885 grams
(b) Sodium hydroxide:
From the periodic table:
mass of sodium = 22.989 grams
mass of oxygen = 16 grams
mass of hydrogen = 1 gram
Sodium hydroxide has the formula: NaOH
molar mass = 22.989 + 16 + 1 = 39.989 grams
(c) Barium carbonate
From the periodic table:
mass of barium = 137.327 grams
mass of carbon = 12 grams
mass of oxygen = 16 grams
Barium carbonate has the formula: BaCO3
molar mass = 137.327 + 12 + 3(16) = 197.327 grams
(d) ammonium nitrate:
From the periodic table:
mass of nitrogen = 14 grams
mass of hydrogen = 1 gram
mass of oxygen = 16 grams
Ammonium nitrate has the formula: NH4NO3
molar mass = 14 + 4(1) + 14 + 3(16) = 80 grams
(e) Lead (iv) oxide
From the periodic table:
mass of lead = 207.2 grams
mass of oxygen = 16 grams
Lead (iv) oxide has the formula: PbO2
molar mass = 207.2 + 2(16) = 239.2 grams
From the above calculations, we can see that:
Iron (iii) sulphate has the greatest mass.
Answer: The temperature of 0.6 moles of fluorine that occupy 15 L at 2,300 mmHg is 920 K
Explanation:
According to ideal gas equation:
P = pressure of gas = 2300 mm Hg = 3.02 atm (760mmHg=1atm)
V = Volume of gas = 15 L
n = number of moles = 0.6
R = gas constant =
T =temperature = ?
Thus the temperature of 0.6 moles of fluorine that occupy 15 L at 2,300 mmHg is 920 K
Answer:
39.7 %
Explanation:
magnesium + oxygen ⟶ magnesium oxide
10.57 g 6.96 g 17.53 g
According to the <em>Law of Conservation of Mass</em>, the mass of the product must equal the total mass of the reactants.
Mass of MgO = 10.57 + 6.96
Mass of MgO = 17.53 g
The formula for mass percent is
% by mass = Mass of component/Total mass × 100 %
In this case,
% O = mass of O/mass of MgO × 100 %
Mass of O = 6.96 g
Mass of MgO = 17.53 g
% O = 6.96/17.53 × 100
% O = 0.3970 × 100
% O = 39.7 %
