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.

Answer;

Considering the types of bonds being created and severed in the transition state, the stability of this temporary structure is comparatively high.

Explanation;

  • The reaction can be expressed as follows; NO(g)+F2(g)→NOF(g)+F(g)
  • All chemical reactions, including exothermic ones, require activation energy to initiate. The activation energy is the least amount of energy needed for the reactants to come together, overcome opposing forces, and begin breaking bonds.
  • When molecules encounter each other, their kinetic energy may be sufficient to stretch, bend, and eventually break bonds, resulting in chemical reactions.

Identify the number of moles in 369 grams of calcium hydroxide. Use the periodic table and the polyatomic ion resource.
Alekssandra [2891]

Response: The moles in 369 grams of calcium hydroxide are 4.98 moles

Reasoning: Given,

Mass of calcium hydroxide = 369 g

Molar mass of calcium hydroxide = 74.093 g/mole

Formula used:

\text{Moles of calcium hydroxide}=\frac{\text{Mass of calcium hydroxide}}{\text{Molar mass of calcium hydroxide}}

Now substituting the provided values into this formula, you will find the moles of calcium hydroxide.

\text{Moles of calcium hydroxide}=\frac{369g}{74.093g/mole}=4.98mole

Thus, the number of moles in 369 grams of calcium hydroxide is, 4.98 moles

The production of NOx gases is an unwanted side reaction of the main engine combustion process that turns octane, C8H18, into CO
lorasvet [2668]

Answer:

710.33 g NO2

Explanation:

2 C8H18 + 25 O2 → 16 CO2 + 18 H2O  

(800 g octane) / (114.2293 g C8H18/mol x (25/2)) = 87.54 mol O2 utilized for combusting octane

87.54 mol O2 x \frac{15}{85} = 15.44 mol O2 used for generating NO2

O2 + 2NO → 2NO2

(15.44 mol O2) x (2/2) x (46.0056 g NO2/mol) = 710.33 g NO2

A hardware salesman measures the mass of a box containing
lorasvet [2668]
Step 1: To find the mass of a single washer, divide the total measured mass by the number of washers \frac{0.4168}{1000} =0.0004168\ Kg 0.0004168kg=4.168*10^{-4} kg. Step 2: Convert kilograms to milligrams knowing 1 kg=1*10^{6} mg; thus 4.168*10^{-4}*10^{6} =4.168*10^{2}mg=416.8 mg resulting in the final answer 416.8 mg.

Write the balanced molecular and net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs when the contents of the two beakers are added
alisha [2865]

1) reacting hydrochloric acid with nickel:

Balanced molecular equation: Ni(s) + 2HCl(aq) → NiCl₂(aq) + H₂(g).

Ionic equation: Ni(s) + 2H⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq) → Ni²⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq) + H₂(g).

Net ionic equation: Ni(s) + 2H⁺(aq) → Ni²⁺(aq) + H₂(g).

In this reaction, nickel undergoes oxidation, changing from an oxidation state of 0 to +2, while hydrogen is reduced from +1 to 0 (H₂).

2) reacting sulfuric acid with iron:

Balanced molecular equation: Fe(s) + H₂SO₄(aq) → FeSO₄(aq) + H₂(g).

Ionic equation: Fe(s) + 2H⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq) → Fe²⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq) + H₂(g).

Net ionic equation: Fe(s) + 2H⁺(aq) → Fe²⁺(aq) + H₂(g).

In this scenario, iron is oxidized from an oxidation state of 0 to +2, while hydrogen experiences reduction from +1 to 0 (H₂).

3) hydrobromic acid reacting with magnesium:

Balanced molecular equation: Mg(s) + 2HBr(aq) → MgBr₂(aq) + H₂(g).

Ionic equation: Mg(s) + 2H⁺(aq) + 2Br⁻(aq) → Mg²⁺(aq) + 2Br⁻(aq) + H₂(g).

Net ionic equation: Mg(s) + 2H⁺(aq) → Mg²⁺(aq) + H₂(g).

This reaction sees magnesium oxidized from 0 to +2, and hydrogen reduced from +1 to 0 (H₂).

4) acetic acid reacting with zinc:

Balanced molecular equation: Zn(s) + 2CH₃COOH(aq) → (CH₃COO)₂Zn(aq) + H₂(g).

Ionic equation: Zn(s) + 2H⁺(aq) + 2CH₃COO⁻(aq) → Zn²⁺(aq) + 2CH₃COO⁻(aq) + H₂(g).

Net ionic equation: Zn(s) + 2H⁺(aq) → Zn²⁺(aq) + H₂(g).

Here, zinc gets oxidized from 0 to +2 (Zn²⁺), while hydrogen is reduced from +1 to 0 (H₂).
