A chemical bond is a lasting attraction between atoms, ions or molecules that enables the formation of chemical compounds. The bond may result from the electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions as in ionic bonds or through the sharing of electrons as in covalent bonds

The potential energy diagram shows the gain and loss of potential energy as water molecules decompose into hydrogen and oxygen.

Dovator [93]

Answer:

The diagram with the five labels of the parts is in the image attached. Please, see the image.

Explanation:

1) General explanation: a potential chemical energy diagram is used to show how the reactants gain energy until they reach the activation energy, form the activated complex, and release part of the energy to form the products.

The difference between the chemical potential energy of the products and the reactants is the enthalpy of the reaction:

ΔH rxn = ΔH products - ΔH reactants.

The labels that correspond to each part of the diagram are explained next.

2) Reactants:

This is the substances at the start, so they appear on the left bottom side of the diagram.

3) Activation energy:

It is the energy that the reactants must reach (the highest point) in order to the reaction occurs.

4) Activated complex:

This is the intermediate state and of highest energy. The reactants have formed a complex at mid way between the reactants and the products.

5) Products:

These are the substances formed when the reaction is completed. They are lower in energy than the activated complex. They can be either higher or lower in energy than the reactants. The products are shown to the right of the diagram.

6) Enthalpy of the reaction:

The enthalpy of the reaction is the difference in energy of the products and the reactants. In this case, since, the products are higher in energy, it means that the reaction absorbed energy and it is an endothermic reaction.

Calcula la cantidad de gramos que hay en 12,5 mol de NaCl (Masa Na: 23,0; Cl: 35,5).

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

731.25 g

Explanation:

The question asks us to calculate the mass of 12.5 moles of NaCl. The individual relative atomic masses of the elements were supplied. We must first obtain the molar mass of sodium chloride as follows;

Molar mass of sodium chloride= 23.0 + 35.5 = 58.5 gmol-1

From the formula;

Number of moles (n) = mass /molar mass

Number of moles of sodium chloride= 12.5 moles

Mass of sodium = The unknown

Molar mass of sodium chloride= 58.5gmol-1

Mass of sodium chloride= number of moles × molar mass

Mass of sodium chloride= 12.5 × 58.5

Mass of sodium chloride= 731.25 g

State three differences between an electron and a proton

NNADVOKAT [17]

An electron is smaller than a proton. An electron has the opposite charge of a proton. An electron is outside the nucleus, while a proton is part of the nucleus.

An electrochemical process involves any process that has to do with the transfer of elecrons.

<h3>What is an elecrochemical process?</h3>

An electrochemical process involves any process that has to do with the transfer of elecrons. These process include redo reactionand electron transport chains.

It is a true statement that the actiivity series helps to detect the products in a reaction because a metal that is lower in the series is always displaced by a metal that is higher in the series.
