Melanie has completed the analysis of her data for the reaction of KMnO4 with malonic acid and data for a reaction of KMnO4 with

tartaric acid. She compared the activation energies, Ea, she calculated for the two reactions and found the Ea for the malonic acid reaction to be greater than the Ea for the tartaric acid reaction.
Required:

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The relationship between the activation energy and rate of reaction is best captured by the Arrhenius equation;

k= Ae^-Ea/RT

Where;

k= rate constant

A= pre-exponential factor

Ea=activation energy

R= gas constant

T= temperature

We can see from the foregoing that, as the activation energy increases, the rate of reaction decreases and vice versa. reactions that have a very high activation energy are markedly slow.

Since the activation energy for the malonic acid reaction is found to be greater than the activation energy for the tartaric acid reaction, then the rate of the malonic acid reaction(k) will be slower than that of the tartaric acid reaction.

Charra [1.4K]
Titration experiments require the use of a burette. It is a long graduated glass tube held in place by a clamp stand. It has a tap fixture on the end that regulates the delivery of small volumes of liquid into a beaker in the titration process. Bunsen burners are used to heat substances and crucibles are used to hold items to be heated to high temperatures.

The electron configurations of two unknown elements X and Y are shown.
Svetllana [295]

 X: 1S²2S²2P⁶

Y: 1S²2S²2P⁶3S²3P⁶

The statement  which  is most likely   correct  about  the two elements  is

They  will  not react  because  both  have a complete outermost shell and are  stable.


 <u><em>Explanation</em></u>

  The  P orbital can   hold a maximum  of   6  electrons,therefore the 2P orbital for x  and  3P  orbital  for  Y   which are  outermost  subshell  are  fully filled .


This make   element Y and x  stable  since they  cannot  react either by gaining or losing electrons.

Molecular weight of PbCl2 = 278 g/mole Mass of beaker + PbCl2 = 62.19 g Mass of beaker = 57.77 g Mass of PbCl2 per 100 mL = g Mo
levacccp [35]
PbCl2--->Pb2+  +  2Cl-

The  mass   of  PbCl2   is   =mass   of  the  beaker+Pbcl2  minus   mass  of  the  beaker
that  is  62.19-57.77g=  4.42grams

moles  of PbCl2=  4.42g/278g/m0l = 0.0159moles

concentration  of  (Pb2+)
since  mole  ratio  of  PbCl2  to  Pb2+  is   1:1  therefore  the  moles  of  Pb2+  is  also  0.0159moles
concentration  =0.0159/100 x1000=0.159M

concentration  of  CI-  is  two  time  that  of  Pb2+  from  the  equation  above  therefore  concentration   of  Cl-  =  0.159 x2  =0.318M
