Activation energy is a thermodynamic barrier that must be overcome before products are formed in a reaction. It is the minimum amount of energy needed for a reaction to occur. The energy can be in the form of kinetic or potential energy. This concept was introduced by Svante Arrhenius, which brought about the Arrhenius equation which is a formula used to determine rate of reactions.
Answer:
1. The electronic configuration of X is: 1s2 2s2 sp6 3s2
2. The configuration of the anion of Y (i.e Y^2-) is 1s2 2s2 2p6
3. The formula of the compound form by X and Y is given as: XY
Explanation:
For X to loss two electrons, it means X is a group 2 element. X can be any element in group 2. The electronic configuration of X is:
1s2 2s2 sp6 3s2
To get the electronic configuration of the anion of element Y, let us find the configuration of element Y. This is done as follows:
Y receives two electrons from X to complete its octet. Therefore Y is a group 6 element. The electronic configuration of Y is given below
1s2 2s2 2p4
The configuration of the anion of Y (i.e Y^2-) is 1s2 2s2 2p6
The formula of the compound form by X and Y is given below :
X^2+ + Y^2- —> XY
Their valency will cancel out thus forming XY
They will most likely make a table, or some sort of graphing chart
Hank's Garage has an air compressor with a holding tank that contains 200L of compressed air at 5200 torr. One day a hose ruptured and all the compressed air was released to a volume of 1370 L at atmospheric pressure.
Hank's Garage has an air compressor with a holding tank that contains a volume of 200L (V₁) of compressed air at a pressure of 5200 torr (P₁).
One day a hose ruptured and all the compressed air was released. The final pressure was the atmospheric pressure (1 atm = 760 torr) (P₂).
We can calculate the new volume (V₂) in these conditions using Boyle's law, which states there is an inverse relationship between the volume and the pressure of an ideal gas.

Answer:
The correct answer is option b, that is, 2.1 M Na₃PO₄.
Explanation:
The solution with the largest concentration of ions will possess the highest conductivity.
a) 3.0 M NaCl
NaCl ⇔ Na⁺ + Cl⁻
Here the total number of ions is 2, therefore, the concentration of ions is 3.0 × 2 = 6.0 M
b) 2.1 M Na₃PO₄
Na₃PO₄ ⇔ 3 Na⁺ + PO₄³⁻
Here the total number of ions i 4. Therefore, the concentration of ions is
2.1 × 4 = 8.4 M.
c) 2.4 M CaCl₂
CaCl₂ ⇔ Ca²⁺ + 2Cl⁻
The total number of ions is 3. Therefore, the concentration of ions is
2.4 × 3 = 7.2 M
d) 3.2 M NH₄NO₃
NH₄NO₃ ⇔ NH₄⁺ + NO₃⁻
The total number of ions is 2. The concentration of ions will be,
3.2 × 2 = 6.4 M
Hence, the highest conductivity will be of 2.1 M Na₃PO₄.
