Which of the following statements reasonably explains why this reaction has a low activation energy? View Available Hint(s) The

small NO and F2 molecules have little steric hindrance; therefore random collisions occur more frequently. The formal positive charge on the NO molecule is attracted to the formal negative charge on the F2 molecule, so the driving force for the formation of the transition state is greater than simple random collisions. Because this reaction is only bimolecular, the frequency of random collision is very high. Due to the type of bonds being broken and formed in the transition state the stability of this transient structure is relatively high.

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Due to the type of bonds being broken and formed in the transition state the stability of this transient structure is relatively high.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • The equation for the reaction is; NO(g)+F2(g)→NOF(g)+F(g)
  • All chemical reactions, including exothermic reactions, need activation energy to get started. Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy required for the reactants to move together, overcome forces of repulsion, and start breaking bonds.
  • When molecules collide, the kinetic energy of the molecules can be used to stretch, bend, and ultimately break bonds, leading to chemical reactions.

If this decay has a half life of 2.60 years, what mass of 72.5 g of sodium 22 will remain after 15.6 years
Vlad1618 [11]

Sodium-22 remain : 1.13 g

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The atomic nucleus can experience decay into 2 particles or more due to the instability of its atomic nucleus.  

Usually, radioactive elements have an unstable atomic nucleus.  

General formulas used in decay:  

\large{\boxed{\bold{N_t=N_0(\dfrac{1}{2})^{T/t\frac{1}{2} }}}

T = duration of decay  

t 1/2 = half-life  

N₀ = the number of initial radioactive atoms  

Nt = the number of radioactive atoms left after decaying during T time  

half-life = t 1/2=2.6 years

T=15.6 years

No=72.5 g

\tt Nt=72.5.\dfrac{1}{2}^{15.6/2.6}\\\\Nt=72.5.\dfrac{1}{2}^6\\\\Nt=1.13~g

A solution is prepared by condensing 4.00 l of a gas, measured at 27°c and 748 mmhg pressure, into 58.0 g of benzene. calculate
fgiga [73]
First, we are using the ideal gas law to get n the number of moles:

PV = nRT

when P is the pressure = 748 mmHg/760 = 0.984 atm

V is the volume = 4 L

R is ideal gas constant = 0.0821

T is the temperature in Kelvin = 300 K

∴ n =  0.984atm*4L/0.0821*300

       = 0.1598 moles

when the concentration = moles * (1000g / mass)

                                         = 0.1598 * (1000g / 58 g )

                                         = 2.755 M

when the freezing point = 5.5 °C

and Kf = - 5.12 °C/m

∴ the freezing point for the solution = 5.5 °C + (Kf*m)

                                                            = 5.5 °C - (5.12°C/m * 2.755m)

                                                            = -8.6 °C

To construct the galvanic cell illustrated above, the salt bridge was prepared by soaking a piece of cotton in 5.0MNaNO3(aq) bef
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

The cell reaction reaches equilibrium quickly and the cell emf becomes zero.

Explanation:

The purpose of a salt bridge is not to move electrons from the electrolyte, its main function is to maintain charge balance because the electrons are moving from one-half cell to the other.

A solution of a salt that dissociates easily is normally used. Water is ineffective at functioning as a salt bridge. Hence the effect stated in the answer.
