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 did atomic theory develop and change?

Agata [3.3K]

The atomic theory started with Democritus, who stated that all space was made up of indivisible particles called atoms, though Aristotles refuted that statement by saying that matter didn’t exist, he believed in the four elements: air, fire, water, and earth. Then came Dalton, who revived Democritus’s ideas and proposed the law of multiple proportions, he revived the idea that all space was made of atoms. Soon after, J.J Thompson discovered the electron by using cathode rays. Max Planck developed the quantum theory by stating that electromagnetic radiation could only be emitted in quantized form (later called quanta). Einstein furthered this idea with studies of light. Robert Millikan eventually measured the charge of a single electron. Ernest Rutherford used a gold foil experiment and discovered the nuclei, considering his alpha particles were deflected by some object. Niels Bohr made the atomic model with electrons spinning around an atom’s nucleus, Erwin Schrodinger describes how electrons have wave like properties. James Chadwick then discovers the neutron!

600 s after initiation of a first order reaction 48.5% of the initial reactant concentration remains present. What is the rate c

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

$k=1.20x10^{-3} s^{-1}$

Explanation:

For a first order reaction the rate law is:

$v=\frac{-d[A]}{[A]}=k[A]$

Integranting both sides of the equation we get:

$\int\limits^a_b {\frac{d[A]}{[A]}} \, dx =-k\int\limits^t_0 {} \, dt$

where "a" stands for [A] (molar concentration of a given reagent) and "b" is {A]0 (initial molar concentration of a given reagent), "t" is the time in seconds.

From that integral we get the integrated rate law:

$ln\frac{[A]}{[A]_{0} } =-kt$

$[A]=[A]_{0}e^{-kt}$

$ln[A]=ln[A]_{0} -kt$

$k=\frac{ln[A]_{0}-ln[A]}{t}$

therefore k is

$k=\frac{ln1-ln0,485}{600}=1,20x10^{-3}$

Complete the electron-dot structure of s-allylcysteine, showing all lone-pair electrons.

erastova [34]

The structural formula of <span>s-allylcysteine is shown in the picture (top figure). To create its Lewis structure, draw all its bonds between elements. Each single bond contains two electrons. There is an octet rule that must be obeyed by most elements. Each element should be surrounded with 8 electrons. The hydrogen is exempted of this rule. So, there are 4 lone pairs for the S atom, 1 lone pair for the N atom, and 2 lone pairs each for the 2 O atoms.</span>
