Answer:

- C6H12O6 is not an empirical formula because it can be simplified to CH2O.

- CaCO3 is an empirical formula as well as molecular formula because it has been simplified up to the smallest subscript per atom.

- NaMnO4 is an empirical formula as well as molecular formula because it has been simplified up to the smallest subscript per atom.

- Ba3(PO4)2 is an empirical formula as well as molecular formula because it has been simplified up to the smallest subscript per atom.

- K2C2O4 is not an empirical formula because it can be simplified to KCO2.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the empirical formulas are referred to those formulas that have been simplified up to the smallest whole number for each subscript per atom, we can see that:

- C6H12O6 is not an empirical formula because it can be simplified to CH2O.

- CaCO3 is an empirical formula as well as molecular formula because it has been simplified up to the smallest subscript per atom.

- NaMnO4 is an empirical formula as well as molecular formula because it has been simplified up to the smallest subscript per atom.

- Ba3(PO4)2 is an empirical formula as well as molecular formula because it has been simplified up to the smallest subscript per atom.

- K2C2O4 is not an empirical formula because it can be simplified to KCO2.

Best regards!

The reaction between carbon tetrachloride, CCl4, and water, H2O, to form carbon dioxide, CO2, and hydrogen chloride, HCl, has a

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

High activation energy is the reason behind unsuccessful reaction.

Explanation:

There are two types of reaction: (1) thermodynamically controlled reaction and (2) kinetically controlled reaction.

Thermodynamically controlled reaction are associated with change in enthalpy during reaction. More negative the enthalpy change, more favored will be the reaction.

Kinetically controlled reaction are associated with activation energy of a reaction. The lower the activation energy value, the more rapid will be the reaction.

Here, reaction between $CCl_{4}$ and $H_{2}O$ is thermodynamically favored due to negative enthalpy change but the high activation energy does not allow the reaction to take place by simple mixing.
