Reactant A can participate in both of these reactions:
1) A + B to C + D Delta Grxn= –15.6 kJ
2) A + E to F + G Delta Grxn= –20.5 kJ
Reaction 1 has a much higher rate than Reaction 2 under the same reaction conditions. Explain this observation in terms of activation energy.

What postulate of the kinetic molecular theory best explains why gases have high fluidity? because collisions between gas particles are elastic, there is no loss of energy as particles flow past each other. because gases consist of large numbers of tiny particles, they spread out and do not come in contact with each other. because the attractive forces between gas particles are negligible, gas particles can glide easily past one another. because the average kinetic energy of gas particles increases as temperature increases, gas particles behave more like a liquid. question 6 compare the compressibility of gases and liquids. support your answer by describing the arrangement of particles in gases and liquids.

Astudent made a graph plotting the progress of a reaction over time. the student forgot to label the y-axis of the graph. a graph is shown with two graph lines. one graph line starts at a higher position on the y axis and slopes downwards towards the right. the other graph line starts at a lower position on the y axis and slopes upwards towards the right. the two graph lines stop short of intersecting each other and continue as separate lines which gradually become straight and parallel to the x axis. a vertical line is shown at a point where the two graph lines finally became parallel to the x axis. this vertical line is labeled equilibrium. the title on the x axis is time and an arrow pointing towards the right is shown above time. the title on the y axis is left blank. what best explains the label that the student should use on the y-axis? amount, because as the amount of product decreases, the amount of reactant increases over time. reaction rate, because forward and backward reaction become equal at equilibrium. amount, because the amounts of reactants and products become constant after equilibrium is reached. reaction rate, as the rate of forward reaction increases and rate of backward reaction decreases over time.
