The reaction: (CH3)3CBr + OH− → (CH3)3COH + Br− in a certain solvent is first order with respect to OH−. In several experiments, the rate constant k was determined at different temperatures. A plot of ln(k) vs 1/T was constructed and the slope of the line was -1.10 x 104 K with a y-intercept of 33.5. What is the activation energy for this reaction? A) -91,400 J/mol
B) -1.10 × 10⁴ J/mol
C) 1.10 × 10⁴ J/mol
D) 91,400 J/mol​

All of the following are part of the biosphere except

The last few miles of the marathon are the most difficult for heather, her hair plastered to her head, sweat clinging to her arms, and her legs already feeling as if they had nothing left, just dead weight. after grabbing a cup of ice water, she feels the ice cubes smash against her nose as she gulps some cool refreshment and keeps on running. in these last few miles, the breeze kicks up and she finally feels some coolness against her skin. drips of sweat, once clinging to her forehead, now spill down, and heather feels more pain as the sweat flows into her eyes. which of the following is the most likely reason why the ice struck heather’s nose when she took a drink? a) water can function as a solvent. b) water can store large amounts of heat. c) water can moderate temperatures through evaporative cooling. d) the density of water decreases when it freezes. e) water has a cohesive nature. sweat remained on heather’s forehead and arms because of the a) high salt content of sweat b) cohesive nature of water c) ability of water to moderate heat d) high evaporative cooling effect of water e) ability of water to act as a solvent

To apply in a gold the individual gold atoms are united to each other by means of a metallic bond. how would you use the gold block to determine the atomic radius of a gold atom?
