Answer: 37.5grams of Cu(NO3)2
Cu(1mol) + 2HNO3(2mol) —> Cu(NO3)2 + H2
<em>125 grams of Cu(1mol) reacts with 75 grams of HNO3(2mol)</em>
<em><u>HNO3 is the limiting substance, therefore, 75 grams is the limiting quantity.</u></em>
<em>Therefore, 2mol of HNO3 forms 1mol of Cu(NO3)2</em>
<em>75 grams of HNO3 forms...75grams x 1mol/2mol = 37.5 grams of Cu(NO3)2</em>
Answer: Options (a) and (d) are the correct answer.
Explanation:
A catalyst is the substance which helps in increasing the rate of reaction.
Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy required by reactants to start the reaction. On addition of catalyst, the path of reaction changes because the energy barrier gap reduces and hence, the activation energy also decreases.
In the absence of catalyst, we need to increase the temperature so that reaction can occur quickly.
Whereas on addition of catalyst, there is no need to increase the temperature as the catalyst itself is sufficient to increase the rate of reaction. As a result, temperature should be lowered when there is addition of catalyst in the reaction.
Thus, we can conclude that catalysts can save money by essentially lowering the activation energy and temperature required.

=32 g/mol
From the balanced chemical equation,
2×2=4 g of hydrogen requires 32 g of Oxygen to react completely
