Answer:

An opinion is a statement describing a personal belief or thought that cannot be tested (or has not been tested) and is unsupported by evidence. ... Theories are not described as true or right, but as the best-supported explanation of the world based on evidence.

Calculate the ratio of the mass ratio of SS to OO in SOSO to the mass ratio of SS to OO in SO2SO2. Consider a sample of SOSO in

Veronika [31]

Answer:

The ratio of the mass ratio of S to O; in SO, to the mass ratio of S to O; in SO₂, is 2:1

Explanation:

According to the consideration, let us first find the ratio of S and O in both the compounds

For SO:

$\frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }= \frac{32}{16}\\\\ \frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }= 2$

Let us express it as

$SO_{\frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }} = 2$

For SO₂,

Due to two oxygen atoms in the molecule, the mass of oxygen will be taken two times

$\frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }= \frac{32}{(2)(16)}\\\\ \frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }= 1$

Let us express it as

$SO_2_{\frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }}= 1$

Now, for the ratio of both the above-calculated ratios,

$\frac{SO_{\frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }}}{SO_2_{\frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }}}=\frac{2}{1}$

The required ratio is 2:1

He rate constant of a reaction is 4.55 × 10−5 l/mol·s at 195°c and 8.75 × 10−3 l/mol·s at 258°c. what is the activation energy o

Xelga [282]

Answer : The activation energy of the reaction is, $17.285\times 10^4kJ/mole$

Solution :

The relation between the rate constant the activation energy is,

$\log \frac{K_2}{K_1}=\frac{Ea}{2.303\times R}\times [\frac{1}{T_1}-\frac{1}{T_2}]$

where,

$K_1$ = initial rate constant = $4.55\times 10^{-5}L/mole\text{ s}$

$K_2$ = final rate constant = $8.75\times 10^{-3}L/mole\text{ s}$

$T_1$ = initial temperature = $195^oC=273+195=468K$

$T_2$ = final temperature = $258^oC=273+258=531K$

R = gas constant = 8.314 kJ/moleK

Ea = activation energy

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the activation energy.

$\log \frac{8.75\times 10^{-3}L/mole\text{ s}}{4.55\times 10^{-5}L/mole\text{ s}}=\frac{Ea}{2.303\times (8.314kJ/moleK)}\times [\frac{1}{468K}-\frac{1}{531K}]$

$Ea=17.285\times 10^4kJ/mole$

Therefore, the activation energy of the reaction is, $17.285\times 10^4kJ/mole$

In a well-constructed response explain the differences and similarities between Natural Selection and Selective Breeding

lakkis [162]

Natural selection and selective breeding can cause both animal and plant changes. The distinction between the two is that natural selection occurs without human intervention, while selective breeding occurs only when humans interfere. As a result, selective breeding is also known as artificial selection.
