The reaction rate increases.

Why Well a catalyst usually lower the activation barrier in an energy diagram. The lower and smaller that gap means the reaction is taking place rapidly compared to when that activation barrier gap is higher.

Two aqueous sulfuric acid solutions containing 20.0 wt% H2SO4

kozerog [31]

Answer:

The feed ratio (liters 20% solution/liter 60% solution) is 3,08

Explanation:

In this problem you have a 20,0 wt% H₂SO₄ and a 60,0 wt% H₂SO₄ solutions.

100 kg of 20% solution are 100kg/1,139 kg/L = 87,8 L 

100kg×20wt% = 20 kg H₂SO₄. In moles:

20 kg H₂SO₄ × (1 kmol/98,08 kg) = 0,2039 kmol H₂SO₄≡ 203,9 mol

The final molarity 4,00M comes from:

$\frac{203,9 moles+ Xmoles}{87,8L + Yliters}$ (1)

Where X moles and Y liters comes from 60,0 wt% H₂SO₄

100 L of 60,0 wt% H₂SO₄ are:

100L× $\frac{1,498 kgsolution}{L}$ × $\frac{60 kg H_{2}SO_{4}}{100kgSolution}$ × $\frac{1kmol}{98,08kg H_{2}SO_{4}}$ = 0,9164 kmolH₂SO₄ ≡ 916,4 moles
