How does heat speed up decomposition?
Decomposition involves chemical reactions and as a rough approximation, for many chemical reactions happening at around room temperature, the rate of reaction doubles for every 10°C rise in temperature. The reason for this is that for chemical reactions to happen, at the smallest scale, the individual chemical molecules have to bump into one another. As molecules warm up they begin to vibrate more and the chances of them bumping in to one another increases - the more bumps that happen, the faster the reactions go.
What is the difference between a nuclear decay from a chemical reaction?
Nuclear decay involves the contents of the atomic nucleus, the protons and neutrons. Chemical reactions involve the electrons.
What energy change take place in your eye?
The process by which light is detected by the human eye and converted to an image is a serious of energy changes. Light is the first energy which causes chemical reactions. These reactions are then changed to electrical energy signals which are sent to the brains through the optical nerve.
What produces its own food?
An autotroph is an organism that produces complex organic compounds (such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins) from simple inorganic molecules using energy from light (by photosynthesis) or inorganic chemical reactions (chemosynthesis). They are the producers in a food chain, such as plants on land or algae in water.
What is chemical hazards and radio-chemical hazards?
Chemical hazards is when there are chemical that are releasing toxic properties in the environment. Radio chemical hazards are when the chemicals release radiation.
WHAT TERM DESCRIBES ENERGY THAT REQUIRES TO GET CHEMICAL REACTIONS STARTED?
Activation energy describes the energy that is required to get chemical reactions started.
Which term describes energy that is required to get chemical reactions started?
Activation energy describes the energy that is required to get chemical reactions started.
What energy is needed to start a chemical reaction?
It varies with the differences in chemical reactions
What energy needs to to start a chemical reaction?
It varies with the differences in chemical reactions
What term describes energy that is required to get chemical reactions started?
Activation energy describes the energy that is required to get chemical reactions started.
This describes a protein that starts or quickens a chemical reactions?
Enzyme
What is a a property of matter that describes a substances ability to participate in chemical reactions?
a chemical property
What is property of matter that describes the ability of a substance to participate in chemical reactions?
Chemical property
What is a property of matter that describes the ability of a substance to participate in chemical reactions?
Chemical property
What describes the role of sunlight in chemical reactions?
it provides energy for some reactions to take place.
How is the low of conservation of mass related to chemical reactions?
The Law of Conservtion of Mass is essential in all chemical reactions. "related to chemical reactions" is a foolish statement, because the words are "essential", "required", and "fundamental".
A property of matter that describes a substance ability to participate in chemical reactions?
You think probable to chemical reactivity.
