Answer:

Fractional distillation

Explanation:

The process of separating petroleum products into its fractions is called fractional distillation.

Fractional distillation is a method of separating a mixture of substances based on the differences in their boiling points.

Petroleum is a mixture of hydrocarbons separated in a large fractionation tower having many trays maintained at different temperatures.

As the vapor containing the petroleum mixture ascends the fractionation tower, the mixture is separated at each tray to yield the various fractions of petroleum.

A car is traveling at a speed of 95 mi/h. If there are 0.62137 miles (mi) in a kilometer,
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

42 m/s

Explanation:

To we convert units for speed we can use dimensional analysis. First thing we do is seperate the measurement into a fraction. After this we can multiply by 1km over 0.62137 miles. We do this so that the miles cancel out.

\frac{95mi}{h} × \frac{1km}{0.62137mi} = \frac{95km}{0.62137h}

After this we can use a conversion factor and divide by 3.6.

\frac{95km}{0.62137h} ÷ 3.6 = 42 m/s

How does activation energy affect a chemical reaction ?
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Enzymes affect the rate of the reaction in both the forward and reverse directions; the reaction proceeds faster because less energy is required for molecules to react when they collide. Thus, the rate constant (k) increases. Figure 3: Lowering the Activation Energy of a Reaction by a Catalyst.

hope this helps!
