According to collision and transition state theories, what is the importance of activation energy?

1 answer:

3 0

According to the collision theory, the following criteria must be met in order for a chemical reaction to occur: Molecules must collide with sufficient energy, known as the activation energy, so that chemical bonds can break.

What is the oxidation number of cl− in the hypochlorite ion clo−?

mariarad [96]

Answer : The oxidation number of chlorine (Cl) is, (+1)

Explanation :

Oxidation number : It represent the number of electrons lost or gained by the atoms of an element in a compound.

Oxidation numbers are generally written with the sign (+) and (-) first and then the magnitude.

When the atoms are present in their elemental state then the oxidation number will be zero.

Rules for Oxidation Numbers :

The oxidation number of a free element is always zero.

The oxidation number of a monatomic ion equals the charge of the ion.

The oxidation number of Hydrogen (H) is +1, but it is -1 in when combined with less electronegative elements.

The oxidation number of oxygen (O) in compounds is usually -2, but it is -1 in peroxides.

The oxidation number of a Group 1 element in a compound is +1.

The oxidation number of a Group 2 element in a compound is +2.

The oxidation number of a Group 17 element in a binary compound is -1.

The sum of the oxidation numbers of all of the atoms in a neutral compound is zero.

The sum of the oxidation numbers in a polyatomic ion is equal to the charge of the ion.

The given compound is, $ClO^-$

Let the oxidation state of 'Cl' be, 'x'

$x+(-2)=-1\\\\x-2=-1\\\\x=+1$

Therefore, the oxidation number of chlorine (Cl) is, (+1)

A cylinder is labeled \"PENTANE.\" When the gas inside the cylinder is monochlorinated, five isomers of formula C5H11Cl result.

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

a mixture of two these

Explanation:

The number of isomeric monochlorides depends on the structure and number of equivalent hydrogen atoms in each isomer of pentane.

n-pentane has three different kinds of equivalent hydrogen atoms leading to three isomeric monochlorides formed.

Isopentane has four different types of equivalent hydrogen atoms hence four isomeric monochlorides are formed.

Lastly, neopentane has only one type of equivalent hydrogen atoms that yields one mono chlorination product.

Hence the cylinder must contain a mixture of isopentane and neopentane which yields four and one isomeric monochlorides giving a total of five identifiable monochloride products as stated in the question.

You measure salt water in a tank to have a density of 1.02 g/mL. A balloon weighs 2.0 g and you weights have a mass of 30.0 g ea

Elden [556K]

Weight of the balloon = 2.0 g

Six weights each of mass 30.0 g is added to the balloon.

Total mass of the balloon = 2.0 g + 6*30.0 g = 182 g

Density of salt water = 1.02 g/mL

Calculating the volume from mass and density:

$182g*\frac{mL}{1.02g} =178mL$

Converting the volume from mL to cubic cm:

$178 mL * \frac{1cm^{3} }{1mL} =178cm^{3}$

Assuming the balloon to be a sphere,

Volume of the sphere = $\frac{4}{3}$ π $r^{3}$

$178 cm^{3} = \frac{4}{3}(\frac{22}{7})r^{3}$

r = 3.49 cm

Radius of the balloon = 3.49 cm

Diameter of the balloon = 2 r = 2*3.49 cm = 6.98cm

Two or more elements chemically joined form what?

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

compound

Explanation:

When two distinct elements are chemically combined—i.e., chemical bonds form between their atoms—the result is called a chemical compound. Most elements on Earth bond with other elements to form chemical compounds, such as sodium (Na) and Chloride (Cl), which combine to form table salt (NaCl).
