Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy required to carry out a chemical reaction.

So, when reactant molecules does not have the minimum amount of energy then they are not able to participate in a chemical reaction. Hence, the reaction does not take place.

Therefore, a catalyst acts as an initiator in this situation to carry out the reaction.

Thus, we can conclude that the importance of the activation energy acting as a barrier for reactants as it prevents most reactions from occurring spontaneously.

What is the density of carbon dioxide gas if 0.196g occupies a volume of 100mL?
-BARSIC- [3]

We know that the equation for density is:

D=\frac{m}{V}

where D is the density, m is the mass in grams, and V is the volume.

Given two of the variables, we can then solve for density:

D=\frac{0.196g}{100mL}= \frac{0.00196g}{mL}

So therefore, we now know that the density of carbon dioxide gas is 0.00196g/mL.

If a liter of water is cooled from 50 to 30 what happens to its volume
dangina [55]
In general when you heat up a liquid such as water its volume "increases" as the heat energy causes the water molecules to move leading to more space between molecules causing it to occupy a larger volume.

hope that helps

What is the amount in grams of EDTA needed to make 315.1 mL of a 0.05 M EDTA solution. The molar mass of EDTA is 374 g/mol
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

58.92 g EDTA

Explanation:

315.1 mL = .3151 L    

M = Moles / Liter

.3151 L  x <u>0.5 mol EDTA</u>  x  <u>374 g EDTA</u>  =  58.92 g EDTA

                1 L EDTA             1 mol EDTA
