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:
What does this mean about the magnitude of the rate constant, k, and the rate of the reaction?

WARRIOR [948]3 years ago

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.

What was Newtons first law of motion??
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

Basically an object in motion or at rest will remain that way unless an outside force acts against it.

Explanation:

Newton's first law states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force. This is normally taken as the definition of inertia.

HELP Which of the following fractions can be used in the conversion of 32 m3 to the unit mm3?
poizon [28]
We know that each millimeter contains 10⁻³ meters. Writing this as a ratio:
1 mm : 10⁻³ m

We require a conversion from m³ to mm³, so we must take the cube of the ratio we have made:
1 mm³ = (10⁻³)³ m³

Therefore, the conversion used will be:
(1 mm / 10⁻³ m)³

When we multiply by this conversion, we will get:
32 m³ = 32 x 10⁹ mm³
