A. the moon's gravitational pull on earth causes water to bulge on two sides of the earth
Formula units in 450 g of 
is 1.93 × 10²⁴ formula units.
<u>Explanation:</u>
First we have to find the number of moles in the given mass by dividing the mass by its molar mass as,
Now, we have to multiply the number of moles of Na₂SO₄ by the Avogadro's number, 6.022 × 10²³ formula units/mol, so we will get the number of formula units present in the given mass of the compound.
3.2 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ = 1.93 × 10²⁴ formula units.
So, 1.93 × 10²⁴ formula units is present in 450g of Na₂SO₄.
The best way to accurately determine the pair with the highest electronegativity difference is by using their corresponding electronegativity values. For the each of the choices, the difference is:
A. H-S = 2.5 - 2.1 = 0.4
B. H-Cl = 3 - 2.1 = 0.9
C. N-H = 3 - 2.1 = 0.9
D. O-H = 3.5 - 2.1 = 1.4
E. C-H = 2.5 - 2.1 = 0.4
As show, D. has the highest difference. Without looking at their values, you can also determine the pair with the highest difference by taking note of the trend of electronegativity on the periodic table. Electronegativity increases as you go right a group and up a period. This makes oxygen the most electronegative element among the other elements paired with hydrogen.
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
It makes the reaction harder to start
<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
- <em><u>Activation energy is minimum amount of energy that is required for a reaction to start. Activation energy determines the rate of a chemical reaction such that the higher the activation energy, the lower the rate of chemical reaction and vice versa.</u></em>
- The source of activation energy needed to push chemical reactions forward is obtained from the surroundings. Catalyst speed up chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy. Therefore, catalysis is the increase in the rate of a chemical reaction by lowering its activation energy.
