Which of the following is altered by a catalyst?

1 answer:

4 0

<span>In chemistry, a catalyst can speed up the reaction (or make it initiate easier) by altering the activation energy, lowering it enough to allow the reactants to react more easily. Some negative catalysts or inhibitors can do the same by increasing the activation energy.

Answer:

Half-reactions:

Cr³⁺ + 1e⁻ → Cr²⁺; Zn → Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻

Net ionic equation:

2Cr³⁺ + Zn → 2Cr²⁺ + Zn²⁺

Explanation:

The Cr³⁺ is reduced to Cr²⁺:

<h3>Cr³⁺ + 1e⁻ → Cr²⁺ -Half-reaction 1-</h3>

Zn is oxidized to Zn²⁺:

<h3>Zn → Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻ -Half-reaction 2-</h3>

Twice the reduction of Cr:

2Cr³⁺ + 2e⁻ → 2Cr²⁺

Now this reaction + Oxidation of Zn:

2Cr³⁺ + 2e⁻ + Zn → 2Cr²⁺ + Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻

<h3>2Cr³⁺ + Zn → 2Cr²⁺ + Zn²⁺ - Net ionic equation</h3>

Which of the elements must be available in water for the metamorphosis of tadpoles?

Grace [21]

The element iodine (I) is important for the fast and hastened metamorphosis of frog-tadpoles. As amphibians, the tadpoles can live in water and land but when they are born they are iodine-deficient. Tadpoles that do not receive ample amount of iodine become tadpoles until the end of their days.
