What is the effect of high activation energy on a chemical reaction? a. it reduces the potential energy of the reactants. b. it reduces the potential energy of the products. c. it makes the reaction produce more energy. d. it makes the reaction harder to start. e. it makes the reaction endothermic.

The Answer would be (C) It makes the reaction produce more energy.

C. It makes the reaction produce more energy.

they are both synthetic elements

explanation:

d

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.
