Answer:

activation energy, in chemistry, the minimum amount of energy that is required to activate atoms or molecules to a condition in which they can undergo chemical transformation or physical transport. In transition-state theory, the activation energy is the difference in energy content between atoms or molecules in an activated or transition-state configuration and the corresponding atoms and molecules in their initial configuration. The activation energy is usually represented by the symbol Ea in mathematical expressions for such quantities as the reaction rate constant, k = Aexp(−Ea/RT), and the diffusion coefficient, D = Doexp(−Ea/RT).

A student dissolves of urea in of a solvent with a density of . The student notices that the volume of the solvent does not chan

Dimas [21]

The question incomplete , the complete question is:

A student dissolves of 18.0 g urea in 200.0 mL of a solvent with a density of 0.95 g/mL . The student notices that the volume of the solvent does not change when the urea dissolves in it. Calculate the molarity and molality of the student's solution. Round both of your answers to significant digits.

Answer:

The molarity and molality of the student's solution is 1.50 Molar and 1.58 molal.

Explanation:

Moles of urea = $\frac{18.0 g}{60 g/mol}=0.3 mol$

Volume of the solution = 200.0 mL = 0.2 L (1 mL = 0.001 L)

$Molarity(M)=\frac{\text{Moles of compound}}{\text{Volume of solution in L}}$

Molarity of the urea solution ;

$M=\frac{0.3 mol}{0.200 L}=1.50 M$

Mass of solvent = m

Volume of solvent = V = 200.0 mL

Density of the urea = d = 0.95 g/mL

$m=d\times V=0.95 g/mL\times 200.0 mL=190 g$

$m = 190 g = 190 \times 0.001 kg = 0.19 kg$

(1 g = 0.001 kg)

Molality of the urea solution ;

$Molality(m)=\frac{\text{Moles of compound}}{\text{Mass of solvent in kg}}$

$m=\frac{0.3 mol}{0.19 kg}=1.58 m$

The molarity and molality of the student's solution is 1.50 Molar and 1.58 molal.

Why are alkali metals so reactive?

Savatey [412]

Answer:

Alkali metals are among the most reactive metals. This is due in part to their larger atomic radii and low ionization energies. They tend to donate their electrons in reactions and have an oxidation state of +1. ... All these characteristics can be attributed to these elements' large atomic radii and weak metallic bonding.
