A reaction, such as this one, starts with a reactant. It needs to have activation energy in order to change to the product, as shown by the hump in the graph. At the top of the hump is the transition state. This is the point where, after enough energy, the reactant will turn into the product. This reaction is exothermic. Since the product has less energy than the reactant, it had to have released energy somehow, and that energy was released in the form of heat, which makes it exothermic. (Exothermic reactions release heat, vs. endothermic reactions which absorb heat).

Bonus: a catalyst can be used to lower the activation energy by giving the reaction a “kick start,” requiring less energy in the reaction for the reactant to turn into the product.

Give the number of covalent bonds that a carbon atom can form.

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

four covalent bonds

Explanation:

A carbon atom would form 4 covalent bonds.

For a covalent bond to be formed, an atom would share its valence electrons with another. In this process, each atom would require unpaired electrons for this bond to be formed. The number of available unpaired electrons would represent the number of electrons needed to complete the outer energy level of the atom.

In a carbon atom, we have no lone pair of electrons and 4 unpaired electrons. When these 4 electrons are shared with those of other atoms, they produce a complete octet which perfectly mimics the noble gases.

Conservation of mass was discussed in the background. Describe how conservation of mass (actual, not theoretical) could be check

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Conservation of mass can be checked in an experiment . There are three steps to do it in a best way:

1. Weigh all the equipment and materials required in the experiment before the experiment.

2. Avoid spillage and evaporation during the experiment.

3. Weigh all the equipment and materials after the experiment.

If the mass is conserved then weight from step 1 is equal to weight from step
