Energy Trace and Barrier Analysis is designed to detect hazards by focusing on the presence of energy in a system and the barriers that can be put in place to control that energy?

To detect potential energy sources within a well-known but complex system.


What reactants are capable of interacting to form products in a chemical reaction that must first overcome a thermodynamic barrier?

Fast moving reactant molecules or basically reactant molecules with a lot of kinetic energy.


Does a sonic boom is due to shock wave that is produced when the sound barrier is broken?

Yes when something moves fatser than the speed of sound (or breaks the sound barrier) it makes a shock wave which unleashes an enormous amount of energy which comes in the form of a sonic boom. Hope this helps! :D


What is an example for a wave interaction?

Reflection and absorption...most likely a combination of the two. In reflection the wave bounces back off the barrier and, depending on the incident wave and how it matches in phase with the reflected wave, the reflected wave could be enhanced through constructive interference with the incident wave or degraded through destructive interference. In absorption, the energy from the incident wave is taken into the barrier material. This typically causes the barrier to vibrate indicating the energy it absorbed. A barrier is more likely to absorb the energy when its natural frequency is some harmonic of the incident wave.


Where is the radiant barrier located?

Radiant Barrier is essentially insulation that can be found anywhere where regular insulation is installed. Radiant barrier is foil and can often be seen covering duct work.

What is activation barrier?

The question is this "what is an energy barrier?" My answer: First of all, activation energy is energy that is needed to start a reaction and barrier means to block so then energy barrier means to block energy.


What is another name for the activation energy barrier in a reaction?

Why is the barrier of the energy of activation beneficial for organic molecules?

Energy is stored in the chemical bonds of organic molecules. The barrier of EA prevents these molecules from spontaneously breaking down and releasing that energy.

Activation energy


Arrangement of atoms at the peak of an energy barrier?

Activated complex.


Is aluminum foil an energy barrier?

Aluminum foil can act as an energy barrier, but not a very good one. It is not very dense, therefore an electron (energy) can penetrate it. Because it is not very dense the molecules are not very close together it is not very good at passing energy along, which makes it a poor conductor, but it still can pass energy so it is not effective at preventing energy transfer.


What energy prevents molecules from breaking down spontaneously?

it's not a type of energy but it's an energy barrier that prevents molecules from breaking down spontaneously


How has the US government responded to the issue same as the great barrier reef?

What term is used to describe the minimum amount of energy required in order for a reaction to proceed?

This energy is called "energy of activation", it is used to overcame the energy barrier between reactants and products.


Activation energy barriers?

The activation energy is the amount of energy needed to start a reaction. If the reactants have less than that amount the reaction will not occur. In this way it acts as a barrier that prevents a reaction unless there is enough energy to break it.
