Answer:

Meteorites are consensually considered to be involved in the origin of life on this Planet for several functions and at different levels: (i) as providers of impact energy during their passage through the atmosphere; (ii) as agents of geodynamics, intended both as starters of the Earth’s tectonics and as activators of local hydrothermal systems upon their fall; (iii) as sources of organic materials, at varying levels of limited complexity; and (iv) as catalysts.

What is the significance of "Er" in the diagram?

Drupady [299]

Answer:

The significance of "Er" in the diagram is :

B.) Threshold energy for reaction

Explanation:

Threshold energy : It is total amount of energy required by the reactant molecule to reach the transition state .

Activation energy : It is the excess energy absorbed by the molecules to reach the transition state.

Activation Energy = Threshold Energy - Average Kinetic Energy

This means Activation energy decreases on increasing kinetic energy

On increasing Temperature average kinetic energy of the molecule increases which reduces the activation energy and the reaction occur faster in that case.

Catalyst also reduces the Activation energy.

Er = Threshshold energy for reaction at 30 degree

Ea = Activation Energy

The given figure shows that the threshold energy decreases on increasing the temperature

Only the molecule having energy greater than Er can react to form product

If you have access to stock solutions of 1.00 M H3PO4, 1.00 M of HCl, and 1.00 M NaOH solution, (and distilled water of course),

garri49 [273]

Answer:

0.10L of 1.00M of H₃PO₄ and 0.1613L of 1.00M NaOH

Explanation:

The pKa's of phosphoric acid are:

H₃PO₄/H₂PO₄⁻ = 2.1

H₂PO₄⁻/HPO₄²⁻ = 7.2

HPO₄²⁻/PO₄³⁻ = 12.0

To make a buffer with pH 9.40 we need to convert all H₃PO₄ to H₂PO₄⁻ and an amount of H₂PO₄⁻ to HPO₄²⁻

To have a 50mM solution of phosphoures we need:

2L * (0.050mol / L) = 0.10 moles of H₃PO₄

0.10 mol * (1L / mol) = 0.10L of 1.00M of H3PO4

To convert the H₃PO₄ to H₂PO₄⁻ and to HPO₄²⁻ must be added NaOH, thus:

H₃PO₄ + NaOH → H₂PO₄⁻ + H₂O + Na⁺

H₂PO₄⁻ + NaOH → HPO₄²⁻ + H₂O + Na⁺

Using H-H equation we can find the amount of NaOH added:

pH = pKa + log [A⁻] / [HA] (1)

Where [A-] is conjugate base, HPO₄²⁻ and [HA] is weak acid, H₂PO₄⁻

pH = 7.40

pKa = 7.20

[A-] + [HA] = 0.10moles (2)

Replacing (2) in (1):

7.40 = 7.20 + log 0.10mol - [HA] / [HA]

0.2 = log 0.10mol - [HA] / [HA]

1.5849 = 0.10mol - [HA] / [HA]

1.5849 [HA] = 0.10mol - [HA]

2.5849[HA] = 0.10mol

[HA] = 0.0387 moles = H₂PO₄⁻ moles

That means moles of HPO₄²⁻ are 0.10mol - 0.0387moles = 0.0613 moles

The moles of NaOH needed to convert all H₃PO₄ in H₂PO₄⁻ are 0.10 moles

And moles needed to obtain 0.0613 moles of HPO₄²⁻ are 0.0613 moles

Total moles of NaOH are 0.1613moles * (1L / 1mol) = 0.1613L of 1.00M NaOH

Then, you need to dilute both solutions to 2.00L with distilled water.

Gold (au) goes from an oxidation number of +3 to 0 in the reaction below. 2Au3+ + 6I- ---> 2Au + 3I2. what describes the Au3+

mamaluj [8]

In a reduction-oxidation or better known as REDOX reaction, the substance that reduces the oxidation state is known as the substance that is REDUCED. It serves as the oxidizing agent. Thus, Au3+ in this number is considered as the oxidizing agent.

How many total atoms are in Al(OH)3

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

Seven

Explanation:

The 3 means that you must multiply everything inside the parentheses by 3.

If you write the formula as AlO₃H₃, it is easier to count the atoms.

A:l 1 atom

O: 3

H: 3 atoms

7 atoms

There are seven atoms in one formula unit of Al(OH)₃.

Freon, a very useful refrigerant, is produced in the following reaction:

Svetach [21]

Answer:

The chemistry will need 2*10⁶ moles of antimony trifluoride.

Explanation:

The balanced reaction is:

3 CCl₄ (g) + 2 SbF₃ (s) → 3 CCl₂F₂(g) + 2 SbCl₃ (s)

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of each compound participate in the reaction:

CCl₄: 3 moles
SbF₃: 2 moles
CCl₂F₂: 3 moles
SbCl₃: 2 moles

You can apply the following rule of three: if by reaction stoichiometry 3 moles of freon are produced by 2 moles of antimony trifluoride, 3*10⁶ moles of Freon are produced from how many moles of antimony trifluoride?

$moles of antimony trifluoride=\frac{3*10^{6} moles of freon*2 moles of antimony trifluoride}{3 moles of freon}$

moles of antimony trifluoride= 2*10⁶

The chemistry will need 2*10⁶ moles of antimony trifluoride.
