Why does the rate of reaction increase with increasing temperature? The activation energy decreases as the temperature increases. Changing the temperature usually alters the reaction mechanism, similar to the effect of a catalyst. The change in temperature reduces the overall potential energy change between reactants and products. A greater proportion of all the molecules possess kinetic energy that is equal to or greater than the activation energy. Hotter molecules stick together better.

Why are ducks waterproof? It’s because they produce copious amounts of oils from their uropygial glands and spread it across their feathers. In this exercise, we’ll be investigating the molecular structure of one of these preen oils to determine how it keeps ducks dry. Q.5 - Preen oil is actually a complicated mixture of many different organic compounds, such as the structure seen previously.. Ornithologists have determined that birds often use preen oil compounds for scent recognition. Below, several different chemicals isolated from preen oil are shown, along with their vapor pressures at room temperature. p-cymene has the highest vapor pressure, meaning it is the most easily evaporated compound of the three listed. Explain why p-cymene has a higher vapor pressure at room temperature compared to the other compounds. Make sure to explain what holds the p-cymene in the sample. (Image attached)
Arrange these substance according to how many drops we could add to a penny before the "bubble" popped, FEW DROPS (left-most) to MANY DROPS (right-most). The description labels on the images are small, so use the following legend to identify the materials: A: vegetable oil B: motor oil C: dish soap D: syrup E: honey A CITE EVIDENCE from your Learning Experience and provide REASONING for why you arranged these substances in this order.
