What is a catalyst?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Andrew [12]1 year ago
7 0

A catalyst is a substance added to the reaction that lowers the activation energy by providing an alternate pathway for the reactions to go to completion.

A catalyst is a substance that accelerates a chemical response, or lowers the temperature or strain needed to begin one, with out itself being ate up at some stage in the response. Catalysis is the procedure of adding a catalyst to facilitate a response.

Catalysts may be categorized as homogeneous, heterogeneous, or enzymatic. Homogeneous catalysts exist inside the identical phase as the reactants, whereas heterogeneous catalysts exist in a exclusive section than the reactants.

Catalysts are basically categorised into 4 kinds.Homogeneous, Heterogeneous, Heterogenized homogeneous catalyst and Biocatalysts. Homogeneous catalyst: In homogeneous catalysis, reaction mixture and catalyst both are gift inside the equal segment.

12.Calculate the wavelength of an object moving with a velocity of 5 x105 m s-1
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Wavelength, \lambda=3.3\times 10^{-18}\ m

Explanation:

We have,

Velocity of the object, v=5\times 10^5\ m/s

Mass of the object, m=4\times 10^{-22}\ kg

It is required to find the wavelength of the object. The relation between wavelength and velocity of the object is given by :

\lambda=\dfrac{h}{mv}

h is Planck's constant

\lambda=\dfrac{6.6\times 10^{-34}}{4\times 10^{-22}\times 5\times 10^5}\\\\\lambda=3.3\times 10^{-18}\ m

So, the wavelength of the object is 3.3\times 10^{-18}\ m.

Where is the fulcrum of this lever? circle and label its location on the diagram above
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Explanation:

1) A fulcrum is a pivot point that plays a central role (not necessarily located at the center) in a lever. The fulcrum of the attached picture has been circled (in blue).

2) The object placed on this lever's measurement tray is balanced by placing it at the center of the tray. This is the standard way of placing objects on any balance.

How many grams of ethylene glycol (c2h6o2) must be added to 1.00 kg of water to produce a solution that freezes at -5.00oc? (kf
leonid [27]

Answer: 167 g


Explanation:


1) The depression of the freezing point of a solution is a colligative property ruled by this equation:


ΔTf = i × m × Kf


Where:


ΔTf is the decrease of the freezing point of the solvent due to the presence of the solute.


i is the Van't Hoof factor and is equal to the number of ions per each mole of solute. It is only valid for ionic compounds. Here the solute is not ionice, so you take i = 1


Kf is the molal freezing constant and is different for each solvent. For water it is 1.86 m/°C


2) Calculate the molality (m) of the solution


ΔTf = i × m × Kf ⇒ m = ΔTf / ( i × Kf) = 5.00°C / 1.86°C/m = 2.69 m


3) Calculate the number of moles from the molality definition


m = moles of solute / kg of solvent ⇒ moles of solute = m × kg of solvent


moles of solute = 2.69 m × 1.00 kg = 2.69 moles


4) Convert moles to grams using the molar mass


molar mass of C₂H₆O₂ = 62.07 g/mol


mass in grams = number of moles × molar mass = 2.69 moles × 62.07 g/mol = 166.97 g ≈ 167 g
