Hey,

Catalyst is the answer.
A catalyst is a substance that speeds up chemical reactions and the best thing about them is that they don’t get used up through the process.
This means that they won’t run out no matter how much times they are used.

An example of a catalyst would be potassium permanganate.
Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) eventually breaks down into hydrogen and oxygen.
But Potassium permanganate(KMnO4) speeds up this process.

There are also biological catalysts like saliva that helps breaks down food.Theese are called enzymes.

Hope this helps!!

Calculate the solubility of carbon dioxide in water at an atmospheric pressure of 0.400 atm (a typical value at high altitude).A

Bond [772]

Answer:

The molar solubility of carbon dioxide gas is $4.662\times 10^{-6} M$ .

Explanation:

Henry's law states that the amount of gas dissolved or molar solubility of gas is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the liquid.

To calculate the molar solubility, we use the equation given by Henry's law, which is:

$C_{CO_2}=K_H\times p_{liquid}$

where,

$K_H$ = Henry's constant = $3.50\times 10^{-2}mol/L.atm$

$p_{CO_2}$ = partial pressure of carbonated drink

$p_{CO_2}=p\times \chi_{CO_2}$

where = p = Total pressure = 0.400 atm

$\chi_{CO_2}$ = mole fraction of $CO_2=3.33\times 10^{-4}$

$p_{CO_2}=0.400 atm\times 3.33\times 10^{-4} =0.0001332 atm$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$C_{CO_2}=3.5\times 10^{-2}mol/L.atm\times 0.0001332 atm\\\\C_{CO_2}=4.662\times 10^{-6} M$

Hence, the molar solubility of carbon dioxide gas is $4.662\times 10^{-6} M$ .

You observe mothballs disappearing in cabinets. What do you think is the reason for this? Do all substances behave like mothball

cricket20 [7]

Answer: Mothballs have weak intermolecular forces.

No all substances do not behave like mothballs at normal conditions. Example: benzene , chloroform

Explanation:

Sublimation is a process of converting a substance from solid state to gaseous state without the formation of liquid at constant temperature.

A substance which undergoes sublimation is called as sublimating substance.

As mothballs is made of napthalene which has weak inter molecular forces of attraction between its molecules, it directly sublimes into gaseous state without leaving any residue and is called as a sublimating substance.

Not all substances behave like mothballs at normal conditions. Example: benzene , chloroform

You are balancing an ionic compound. Let's call it: AB.

rewona [7]

Answer:- $A_3B_2$

Explanations:- It is given that the charge for A is +2 and the charge for B is -3. The over all compound is neutral means the over all charge is zero. For making the over all charge zero, we need 3 positive ions and 2 negative ions. This makes a +6 charge for A and -6 charge for B and the over all charge is zero.

Also, if we think about the criss cross then charge of A becomes the subscript of B and the charge of B becomes the subscript of A.

So, the formula of the ionic compound is $A_3B_2$ . In this compound the ratio of A to B is 3:2.

The balanced equation could be shown as:

$3A+2B\rightarrow A_3B_2$
