Melanie has completed the analysis of her data for the reaction of KMnO4 with malonic acid and data for a reaction of KMnO4 with

tartaric acid. She compared the activation energies, Ea, she calculated for the two reactions and found the Ea for the malonic acid reaction to be greater than the Ea for the tartaric acid reaction.

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The relationship between the activation energy and rate of reaction is best captured by the Arrhenius equation;

k= Ae^-Ea/RT

Where;

k= rate constant

A= pre-exponential factor

Ea=activation energy

R= gas constant

T= temperature

We can see from the foregoing that, as the activation energy increases, the rate of reaction decreases and vice versa. reactions that have a very high activation energy are markedly slow.

Since the activation energy for the malonic acid reaction is found to be greater than the activation energy for the tartaric acid reaction, then the rate of the malonic acid reaction(k) will be slower than that of the tartaric acid reaction.

An ideal gas contained in a piston which is compressed. The gas is insulated so that no heat flows into or out of it. 1) What ha
Goryan [66]

Answer:Temperature increases

Explanation: As the gas in the container is an ideal gas so it should follow the ideal gas equation, the equation of state.

We know ideal gas equation to be PV=nRT where

   P=pressure

   V=Volume

   T=Temperature

   R=Real gas constant

   n=Number of moles

since the gas is insulated such that no heat goes into or out of the system .

When we compress the ideal gas using a piston, Thermodynamically it means that work is done on the system by the surroundings.

Now as the ideal gas is been compressed so the volume of the gas would decrease and slowly a time will reach when no more gas can be compressed that is there cannot be any further decrease in volume of the gas.

From the equation PV=nRT

Once there is no further compression is possible hence volume becomes constant so pressure of the ideal gas becomes directly proportional to the temperature as n and R are constants. Also as the pressure and volume are inversely related so an decrease in volume would lead to an increase in pressure.

As the ideal  gas is compressed so the pressure of the gas would increase since the gas molecules have smaller volume available after compression hence the gas molecules would quite frequently have collisions with other gas molecules or piston and this collision would lead to increase in speed of the gas molecules and  so the pressure would increase .

The increase in pressure would lead to an increase in temperature as show by the above ideal gas equation because the pressure and temperature are directly related.

So here we can say that work done on the system by surroundings leads to increase in temperature of the system.

The highest energy occupied molecular orbital in the b−b bond of the b2 molecule is _____
statuscvo [17]
According to molecular orbital theory, atomic orbitals combine to form molecular orbital. Number of molecular orbitals are equal to number of atomic orbitals. Further, of the total number of molecular orbitals, half are called as bonding molecular orbital while remaining are anti-bonding molecular orbital. In case, if system contains lone pair of electrons, they occupy non-bonding molecular orbital. Highest occupied molecular energy levels are referred as HOMO, while lowest unoccupied molecular energy levels are referred as LUMO.

In case of B2 molecule, two B atoms combines to generate molecular orbitals. Attached is  the MOT diagram of B2 molecule

From the attached figure, it is clearly evitable that high occupied energy level in B2 is π. Also, it must be noted both <span>pi molecular orbitals i.e. Pi 2Px and Pi 2Py at highest energy level (occupied).</span>
