Why does it make sense that Hydrogen and Helium would be the first elements to form in the Universe?

Answer:

Explanation:

It makes sense because Helium and Hydrogen only hold 1 and 2 subsequent protons/neutrons and electrons. When the Big Bang happened the entire universe was so hot that it was impossible for elements to form since it was impossible for electrons to stay bound to the atoms. After a few seconds the universe began to cool enough for electrons to bond to atoms and create different elements. Since Helium and Hydrogen have 1 and 2 electrons subsequently we can assume that they were the first elements to be created. Also they are the most abundant elements in the Universe which backs up this theory.

3p^2

Explanation:

after filling 3s^2 only two electrons left out of 14 so the next sub shell is 3p therefore ,X represents 3p^2

The activation energy of a certain uncatalyzed reaction is 64 kJ/mol. In the presence of a catalyst, the Ea is 55 kJ/mol. How ma

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

About 5 times faster.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the Arrhenius equation is considered for both the catalyzed reaction (1) and the uncatalized reaction (2), one determines the relationship between them as follows:

$\frac{k_1}{k_2}=\frac{Aexp(-\frac{Ea_1}{RT} )}{Aexp(-\frac{Ea_2}{RT})} \\\frac{k_1}{k_2}=\frac{exp(-\frac{Ea_1}{RT} )}{exp(-\frac{Ea_2}{RT})}$

By replacing the corresponding values we obtain:

$\frac{k_1}{k_2}=\frac{exp(-\frac{55000J/mol}{8.314J/molK*673.15K} )}{exp(-\frac{64000J/mol}{8.314J/molK*673.15K} )} =4.8$

Such result means that the catalyzed reaction is about five times faster than the uncatalyzed reaction.

Best regards.

Calculate the number of ATOMS in 1.0 mole of O2.

Wewaii [24]

There is 6.02*10^23 molecule per mole. And there is 2 atoms per oxygen molecule. So the answer is 1.204*10^24 atoms in 1.0 mole of O2.
